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.”
