Actually Tim just commented on our Facebook page that it was shot with a few GoPro cameras! Hard to believe, but pretty incredible. I guess that means the infrastructure may not have been in place for a full concert film. In all seriousness, a lot of those shots looked great, I'd happily take the a...

I agree that it's strange. Also... they have this footage with a lot of camera angles from the O2 show, but only release the audio? :headscratch That's the big question I have. From this footage, it looked like they had a bunch of pro cameras shooting a lot of angles, why aren't they releasing a co...

Battery was a disaster on S&M. Call of Khtulu was incredible. Nobody can convince me a fast metal song will get improved with an orchestra. It just doesn't work, even if the band and the orchestra are in sync. That's cool, but you understand others think the opposite, right? Battery wasn't my f...

Does Mark sound also that sloppy in "real life" or is this some video recording issue? He sounds like he is using some 30 dollar Walmart amp. Every time I've seen Mark live his playing sounds spot on and his tone is great. For some reason though, it doesn't translate well in a lot of conc...

A few comments from Tim on Facebook when someone asked about the filming/DVD release of the show. we are filming the show, but. It's not going to come out anytime soon not for at least a year Haha the shows are something special but we are filming a full documentary with it as well... I don't know ...

That would be cool, maybe some extended intros of songs from the orchestra before the band comes in.

Two days of rehearsal is plenty. AB knows how to play their songs. The orchestra will be full of musicians who could probably sight read through all the music first pass. It'll just be bringing together those two elements, working on transitions, etc...

No fast song. As S&M proved in 1999, they don't work with an orchestra. Aside from that, New Way to Live would be pretty cool. That intro would kick major ass with an orchestra. Of course they do.. Can you imagine Ties That Bind with the orchestra doing Myles's vocal overdubs in the intro? Or t...

Realistically, I know they said "rarities" but I don't see them included more than 2 "rare" songs. Everything else will probably end up being staples. But since we don't have pro releases of anything off of Fortress or TLH live, there will still be a lot to dig into.

I'd bet the two nights would have identical sets. That way for the DVD they can pick and choose audio and video footage from either night depending on performance. Since the band plays to a click now, it would be easy.

I'm skeptical because I have heard this (rock band + orchestra) done well, and done not well. Usually, it comes down to the orchestral arrangements, are they adding to the song? Are they just matching existing lines? Are they creating new layers? etc,etc... Also the mix of the final product will be ...

Blackbird (song) has the potential to be absolutely legendary with the orchestra.

"The Parallax Orchestra conducted by Simon Dobson" So I'm guessing the orchestra will be in charge of writing their sections. I wonder if even songs like Metalingus will get an accompaniment or what could even be heard over the guitars in songs like Isolation. Probably will be arranged by...

God, I hope they nail the arrangements for the orchestra. That's make or break.

Obviously payola.

Really looking forward to this! I'm hoping they nail the audio production on this thing. No DVD - no visuals to lean on, the production has to be killer for these live versions to hold up.

Hopefully they actually release it after they film it.

The thing that baffled me the most was the insane pace the guys had on the Wembley DVD. I believe that was around the time Flip wasn't playing to a click track, and bunches of fans got all bent out of shape about it. Will you expand on that please? Does he now? In concert? Yes he does. Basically, d...

After some time, my top 5 haven't changed. In no particular order - The Other Side, This Side of Fate, Cradle to the Grave, Island of Fools, and The Last Hero.
