Tell Me :
Talk
Correct, mic’d into the p.a.
In terms of why do it at all - why have lights? Why have big inflatable dolls? Why have a bridge? They do what they think will add to the presentation, and for some groups having a big visible backline is part of that.
Yes, of course. See: KISS
Really???? Go buy it..it's not sold out or only available via import which could justify such questions
In the 90s (and before) they mixed music for HiFi systems, now they mix everything for earphones…
Re: Steel Wheels Live - Atlantic City - out September 25
This is mainly a stadium problem.
Its ok, quite boomy/reverb heavy, but nothing shocking.
Id say quality is like a typical soundboard bootleg.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I know I'm not losing it. Mine was so awful and distorted all to hell I sent it back to Amazon and got a replacement, I figured must be a defective cd, same freakin thing!!! I should've just settled for the not so super-dee-duper just-gotta-have-it edition. Do the people who do the mastering even sit down and listen to these brickwalled cd's on a decent sound system before hitting the send button to the manufacturing department to go ahead a make the final pressings for eternity???...WHOEVER MASTERED RARE REELS OUGHT TO BE TAKEN OUT BEHIND THE GYM...COME ON MAN!!!

True, yeah I know...but I can see why they might do that if they are trying to clean it up, whereas some of these other shot switchouts don't seem to have any reason at all.

Hello. Not at all? I repeat on the Blu Ray the sound is very good but not on the LP's. And for me this the problem of these "from the vaults"!For example : Listen the Sticky Fingers live at the Fonda Theater : The sound of CD's is muddy but not with the Bluray. The questions is : what is the sound track used for vinyl and CD? I've an "audiophile vintage" system" : McIntosh and amplifiers, JBL monitors 4343 etc. The sound on Atlantic City Swinging Pig LP's box bootleg is more loud, the voices are less projected, forward, the bass more present ... but I repeat the sound on the Blu Ray is excellent, I just don't understand the work carried out on the CD's?

Thats news to me. Why would they even do that, the fake amps I mean? For ambience's sake? Seems very stupid, a lot of work for zero benefit.

I must admit that Rare Reels were mastered by big fun of Bill Wyman. I would say - a bit too much bass.

Talking only about the CDs:
It´s an upgrade to the boots, so I´m thankful.
But it´s the same if you compare Street fighting man from stripped deluxe to Street fighting man from Stripped: Why did they do a so much better job in the 90s - mixing-wise?
The band is not upfront, all that reverb, crowd-noise too loud...
In the 90s they did it clear upfront, maybe a bit to clean but miles better.

I always thought I hated the '89/90 Stones - to glossy, to few guitars, you know the deal.
Just listened to TD from this new set - wow! That's a big production but it works well, the horns, the back up singers, but nothing overwhelming some amazing, driving guitar work, and Jags sounding so soulful and in control. EDIT: I've been listening more - Terrifying, YCAGWYW, Sir Michael is ON FIRE!
'Are you ready Keith?'
I'm just gonna have to play it again.

Hi Folks,
I know next-to-nowt about this stuff, but I do remember reading that Geddy Lee dispensed with onstage speakers and amps by 1992, save for some sub-woofers or similar to give a physical vibration/rumble:
"Geddy dispensed with traditional bass amplifiers in favor of the already mentioned DI units and in ear monitors. Faced with the dilemma of what to do with the empty space left behind by amplifier cabinets, Geddy chose to decorate his side of the stage with unusual items.
Starting off with a fridge
A workable vending machine
Maytag spin dryers – which would rotate during the show.The band would empty the dryers and throw t-shirts into the crowd.
Then Henhouse brand Chicken Rotisseries which was miked up for comic effect.
Lastly the Time machine tour in 2010 saw the introduction of the the “Geddison”. A steampunk-inspired Time Machine and Sausage Maker combo A second iteration of the Geddison returned in 2012 on the Clockwork Angels tour and this time made popcorn on stage."
Gotta love that, hah-hah! I read that Metallica's amps onstage are all dummies too (do your own gags here...). I am sure they are far from the only bands that have gone down this route. Anyway, sorry for the digression!
Cheers,
Simon.

Its easier to have a good sound on stage that way.Also theres a risk that the singer cant hear its singing with the super loud guitar amps ect. Also a risk of not hearing the drummer if the guitars are too loud.Quote

Wow....I watched the Blu-Ray last night and listened to the CDs over the last couple days....and after decades of listening to Swinging Pig, this was a great improvement. I've listened to this show countless times over the years, so the mixing changes were clear, which sometimes made me feel like "hey, what???" but for the most part it was a positive "hey, what".....like a hey, what...whoa! 
for the video....I've seen it soooooooo many times that I swear I picked up a few places where shots were switched out. Also noticed this with the Miami release (as compared to the original pay-per-view, but there were a few more with that one). I don't know, I'll have to check my VHS, but I swear there is some of that with Atlantic City too. Not a big deal, but it's weird, as the initial shot were fine as I recall (i.e. not a jittering camera, etc.) With Miami I understood it, at least in one case....as one of the switched out shots was during Honky Tonk Women when a fan pulled her shirt up.
Overall though, so great to finally have an official document of this great show...and with louder guitars...AMEN!

sorry to continue OT, but I didn't have a problem believing there were not big amps on stage anymore, what i had a problem believing was that they would then put PHONY amps (by that I presume empty speaker cabinets, no actual speakers inside) in their stead. But, you know, I didn't consider outfits like KISS, who are pure theatre anyhow. I totally understand how you do not want to be standing in front of a blaring Marshall stack if you can help it.
And I understand wanting it to look like you're all Spinal Tap and shit to your head banging fans. Kind of a pussy move though, and I think Jimi would agree even if Ginger would not.
Just sayin.
