  1. Ok guys call me crazy all you want, but here we go:

     

    I actually think people are right about the differently mastered versions. I uploaded my mp3 of Mercy (from Warner) to iTunes Match. With iTunes match, if the song you're uploading exists on the iTunes store, it doesn't upload it, it just matches it with the copy there. I'm assuming Mercy is up there somewhere in the iTunes store since it's only a day away. Listening to Mercy on another computer (where the original file isn't locally stored at all) sounds drastically different. Like some elements (such as the guitar clinks before the first chorus) are low in the mix and the vocals are much quieter. Overall much better sounding!!

    I never really understood how iTunes Match works. So it plays for you possibly the iTunes version instead of this version we hear now?
  2. Being overdramatic would almost work during the heavier parts of the song really, but while you're singing to a softer track like this, you are best off trying to sing as smooth as possible until it kicks in.

     

    Actually curious to see how it would sound though if you sing to the original instrumental of New Born, in the similar style as this!

  3.  

    Or any footage from Adelaide really. Going by the lack of videos on youtube compared to the other gigs you'd think cameras were banned or something.

    Gosh, in my seated bay I swear everyone filmed the entire gig, it's amazing there aren't many YouTube clips.

     

    I have the second half of Madness if that helps (featuring lyric screw up) but other than that I didn't film anything, sorry!

  4. holy crap! I just checked your FB (enjoy that warm fuzzy stalked feeling ;) ), I can't have been more than 3 meters away from you! We're lucky Matt came and played SS right in front of us :D

     

    It's strange for me...having nothing to compare this gig to (it being my very first) - incredible though. The guy standing next to me caught Chris' backup harmonica at the end...I could've had that, just needed a stiff breeze to the left. :(

     

    I think a few have labelled Explorers a 'mood-killer', personally I loved it. And it was nice to have chance to watch my breath after Knights. Likewise, having the short break after consecutively having TIRO + PiB + SS + Agitated leading into unsustainable. I think they planned it all perfectly.

     

    And that dry ice stuff...so much chilly relief :p

     

    I've been meaning to ask, does anybody know the name of that little intro/jam they did before TIRO? ..or was it completely improvised on the spot :p It was the only thing I filmed that is even remotely watch-able, so I think I'll upload it.

    :chuckle: I do enjoy the warm fuzzy stalked feeling. I wondered how much I would enjoy being on Chris' side because I didn't really have a choice coming in on door 5, but really couldn't have asked for a better spot.

     

    The look on Dom's face as Matt started playing gave me the impression the jazzy thing before TIRO was pretty unplanned :chuckle:

  6. Finally back home! This was easily my favourite gig I've been to. Such a good setlist, and such an energetic crowd too.

     

    Actually really wasn't looking forward to queuing all day since I had never done it before but really it was so good! Don't even know if anyone I met were boardies apart from one or two of you but it was so cool to hang out with actual fans :chuckle:

     

    And holy crap Citizen was beautiful, and SS with Agitated is such a good match, so freaking beefy.

     

    I could tell the band enjoyed this night, never seen them so into it. Also managed to get hold of a bass pick :awesome:
