Terrible sound!! I'm very sad to admit this had been a bad concert, the basses seem occupy any musical range. In advance Mark's voice had problems after a strong rendition of Quiver Syndrome...someone else in Bologna to discuss about it?

I was there... You're right: too much bass and the sound was muddy... I didn't notice much of a change in Mark's voice after Quiver Syndrome, even though he screamed his lungs out during that one... all in all, I had a great time. I just wish the Estragon didn't have such a bad acoustics problem... a friend of mine who was there said it happens with all the bands that play there, it sucks! Good setlist too: IMO the highlights were Hit The City, One Way Street and Quiver Syndrom itself... a girlfriend of mine gave Mark a postcard on which she wrote one of the most heartfelt messages I've ever read, also quoting Mr. Leonard Cohen: "Sing the blues, don't live it". I'm sure Mark trembled a bit under his armor, when he read it.
Right now, I'm destroyed and somewhat in need of sleep. I'm very happy even though those problems made the experience a little less exciting than it would've been had a better sound been possible.

What a great show!!! even if with bass problem.
by the way I was between stage and mixer and sound wasn't so loud as back beyend mixer zone, the really problem with bass here was with songs like ode to sad disco or harborview hospital with many electronic bass put out from that mac at too much loud volume!! I even think Estragon is a very good place to listen concert, you have to try place like Flog in Florence to speak about terrible bass sound!! and HEY it was sold out!!! 1500 people to see Mark Lanegan and outside stands with unofficial tshirts to sell and aftershow Mark signin merchandise with 5 securityman around him... what the fuck!! He's starting to be a star here in Italy!!!!
the setlist:
THE GRAVEDIGGER'S SONG
SLEEP WITH ME
HIT THE CITY
WEDDING DRESS
ONE WAY STREET
RESURRECTION SONG
WISH YOU WELL
GRAY GOES BLACK
CRAWLSPACE
BLEEDING MUDDY WATER
QUIVER SYNDROME
ONE HUNDRED DAYS
CREEPING COASTLINE OF LIGHTS
RIOT IN MY HOUSE
ODE TO SAD DISCO
ST LOUIS ELEGY
TINY GRAIN OF TRUTH
encore:
WHEN YOUR NUMBER ISN'T UP
PENDULUM
HARBORVIEW HOSPITAL
METHAMPHETAMINE BLUES

;D
5!!!
You Italians and your crazy ways eh, you must please try to stop molesting Mark i know its difficult!!! There was no security round Mark at Bristol at all, mostly just horrible drunken students with plastic cups and 40 somethings going thin on top. They were no threat. Maybe your wild and almost violent at times gesturing scares Mark? It did me when i was in porlezza last year asking for directions, arms flailing everywhere damn near took my eye out.

Mark? Scared? He shoots bullets through his eyes
I wasn't expecting so many young ladies yelling at Mark, though. Didn't know he turned into a teen idol all of a sudden.

They go wild for the psychotic former drug addict father figure. You might be right. To quote a guy I met at the show: "Junkies in the street are disgusting to them, then they see Mark and start yelling" LOL |

The show of the day after has been better (Alcatraz, Milano) but they played like controlled and so careful to not tamper with Mark throaty voice.
Anyway I have recorded Bologna show with a professional recorder and with a remix treatment it sounds better than live!!! Feel free for any request

Marco, I want the recording too!! I was in Bologna and Milan as well. From the front row the sound was very good! My friends and I had beers with the guys from Mark's band after the show and put us on the guest list for Milan and Athens  (in Milan they took us backstage too) and I got to tell you they're an awesome bunch! In Bologna, Mark left right after the show, but in Milan he came backstage after the signing was over. We got to chat a bit (emphasis on "a bit" cause it's hard to get words out of him ). Even the guys from the band told me that in their tour bus he doesn't talk much and kinda intimidates the younger guys that don't know him all that well. We had two very interesting nights, I got to admit ;D When they come to Athens we're on the guest list again... God, I'm so excited about all this. My first time to see him live and got so much more than I expected! |

dear friends, this cd will be available for all of you as soon as possible (we have now to separate the tracks...). Due to the number I think it will be complicated to make a copy on a audiocd, indeed easier upload on some site...stay tuned: more info on this thread!
ps: un saluto al mitico Riccardo & Aki...you are so "laki"!
