Megadeth: Sydney 2007. Gigantour Australia, Luna Park Big Top, Sydney, Australia. 15.11.07

 

Description

 

I decided to do the review for both versions together since they are quite similar, no way to think one is better than the other, nice sound versions, so I prefer just to add some thoughts and taper’s notes, This show was part on Gigantour Australia, that means LACUNA COIL was part of it and we have amazing Cristina Scabbia singing on A Tout le Monde.

 

NAVIGATOR’S NOTES: "Sold out show, attendance approx 2500. I was standing at the left of soundboard, approx 25 m from the stage. Amazing performance from the mighty ‘Deth but short setlist though (75 min). Recording came out ok considering that mix wasn't the best. I hope they come here next year and do a proper tour." The second source brought down by Dejan. The sound is a bit weaker than the first source but still very nice! Thanx a lot Dejan!”

 

STARCLASSIC’S NOTES: "This was the last act in the Gigantour collection, of which I didn't bother with the first four acts (Bring me the Horizon, Lacuna Coil, Static X and Devil Driver). The really disappointing thing was that the sound guy once again screwed up. At least the guitars weren't muddy during the solos though they could've done with a little more brightness in the rhythm sections. The drums were all bottom heavy with little to no cut out of anything beyond the hi-hats. You'll notice in between songs (when Megadeth finally take a short break!), I yell out to the sound guy to turn up the crash cymbals, which weren't making any appearances out of the overhead mics. It was impossible for me to EQ the crash cymbals for a little cutting presence because that would just overemphasise the vocals, kick drum click and hi-hats. Anyway, it's still a worthy addition to my collection and hopefully it will be for yours too. All feedback appreciated. Enjoy!" As for me, I enjoyed the recording of that first night of two meganights in Syndey. The setlist is great and of course it's interesting to hear the ATLM rendition with Christina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil.”
