TAPER'S COMMENTS FROM NKLOTTERY:
It was exciting to capture most of Kristof's set and the full Swans set on video. You really need to experience Swans live to fully understand it, it's a visceral experience that demans your attention, but this gives a bit of a glimpse for those who couldn't make a show. I was in a good spot to set a camera up without having to think about it much during the show, it didn't detract from the moment. Regrettably the video is portrait oriented and at 0.5x zoom.
Audio-wise this was my first time using the Tascam DR-07X, and a good learning experience. I was positioned on the balcony directly to the right of the board, and had microphones set in the wide (A-B) position. There were speakers in front of me, so I could have positioned them X-Y but there were even more speakers to the left and right so the wide image seemed appropriate. I didn't adjust gain prior to the Kristof Hahn set, but it didn't effect the sound. The gain was dialed in properly for the Swans recording. There are 4 or 5 seconds missing from The Beggar due to my error tapping the wrong button on the Tascam. In the end, a great show. Swans puts on the loudest concerts I've ever been to - no contest.
COMMENTS FROM @strangerecordings4648
Here's an excellent quality recording from a friend of mine, who did their first tape with a proper recorder at this show. They were positioned on the balcony near the mixing desk, and got a really impressive capture of the show. All I did was some light EQ mostly to make the bass more audible and the obvious amplification. The taper also filmed most of the show in portrait mode on their Google Pixel. This setlist is actually only four songs. I Am A Tower was not played for the first time this tour. Why this is could be many reasons, but I hope it's not a permanent change.
That show was awesome. It was my fourth time seeing them and it might have been the best one yet.
"We have 4 songs for you tonight... that'll be 134 minutes."
These new songs are so sad. Like he's saying goodbye
Good Stuff!...saw them at the same place 33 years ago...White Light/Love of Life tour.
The groove they lock into at 1:39:00 was INSANE live. The camera mic obviously does not do justice to to how loud it was, but after the beat down most of that track gives, that section feels like an epiphany.
Also Michael slapping himself and laughing was one of the most terrifying moments of my life 😂❤
1:01:57 such a cool way to organize sound... Gira conducting-method!
This show was astonishing. Thanks
Just saw Glass Beams on 6/5 at this venue , nice place but if you go make sure your tickets are ready to go if you pre - purchased them and get there early and find a spot on the upper level overlooking the crowd and stage .
That first song man…
Hope the album version is as powerful as when I heard it in Houston… could be one of their greatest tracks ever
@@woah3157 The beggar already out... but i hope this rendition makes it into a live album
@@twl148 Michael said it’s gonna be a whole new song on the next album with the lyrics changed
@@woah3157dude that’s fucking awesome. I was at this show and that ending section (which I recall is missing/very different on the beggar album) was electrifying
@@woah3157i cannot fucking wait for thwt
audio's super desynced for the latter part of the video
Definitely believe you - I've encountered that on some devices but most of the time it's in sync throughout when I play back the latter 1/3 of the video. May be worth trying a different device? It's just such a giant video
@@nkLottery On different device same deal. By the end of the last song the audio is ~ 5 secs behind the video.
