Are the concerts 100% live?

Ooh, which live video was this? I have the live vocal only of SB on SG but not this EO17, I need to track that one down.

It has been a very long time since I saw it, but now that I think about it, it may have been the video we have all seen from the Bella Donna video. Can anyonelse "old enough" ( ) remember.

Are you talking about the one where's she's sitting in her bedroom?

[strandinthewind]

No - its not that one. It is the one from the live VHS concert of the Bella Donna Tour that was officially released (one of the first things like this ever I might add).

Did anybody hear the Buffalo soundboard recording? There are some wierd voices on the chorus of Peacekeeper that don't exactly sound live. I'm really not sure what they are actually.

What is a sound board recording. I have a bootleg of the show that an audience member recorded. Is that the same thing?

So, the same Edge that we have on the Enchanted box set? That sounds live to me.

there are taped background vocals on the live version of "Peacekeeper", I can hear that clearly on one of the bootlegs I have heard ("Buffalo, NY")...And possibly there are also taped background vocals on "Say Goodbye", Otherwise it's "Live...And not Memorex", LOL....

I've got parts of the soundboard recording, and if you ask me the whole thing sounds a bit off. it just sounds like they had the backup singers turned up more than Stevie and Lindsey. I don't know if that's what it is, but i have to agree it sounds odd.

Some of what is going around as soundboard, is not really soundboard. Some of it was done with satelite hook up that is too complicated for me to explain, even though it was explained to me...just not something that I understand. And, I don't know if any of your bought the "studio" vs of some of the Dance songs, which were actually the middle track only...just their voices...lots of that mess hits. but, the ones that are being called soundboards, some of them, are really good, but, you will notice some things that should not be there and some that should.

And, to the person who asked what they are, I think that it is where someone can plug directly into the sound board with their recording device, that platform so far back from the band that regulates how they sound, and then record from it. I have also heard that this may not be stereo ,,, not sure...any comments?

I would LOVE to know that name of this duet. I saw Cheap Trick last year in Austin, they rocked!!

[strandinthewind]

According to amazon.com, it is on the self titled album and the song is called "Can You Keep A Secret." It apparently was produced by Jimmy Iovine and features Stevie Nicks in harmony and Mike Campbell (a Heartbreaker) on guitar.

The buffalo show is a recording from a Alternate listening device.They are like hearing aids, given to people in the audience with poor hearing or dissabilities of the sort. You can record what you hear through the ALD via satellite. I have a friend who asked the "source" what exactly of a recording it is.

I recently went to the Continental Arena show - it was awesome! I couldn't help but notice on several occasions that when Lindsey started beating the hell out of his guitar during the come and So Afraid solos that the solos continued perfectly without missing a note - meanwhile he was clawing away in a manner that did not make sense to the sound coming from his guitar. I found this odd and was curious if any of the performances were in some sense 'fake'. I am hoping it was the backup guitar players filling in, but it seemed very suspicious at times.

Yea from the few bootleg shows I've heard, it all sounds totally genuine and real. In both of those songs I can hear at least one backup guitarist throughout, so even if LB wasn't playing anything at all you would have continued to hear the sound of guitar(s). Also, I can't help but to think that maybe part of the reason why he changed the key of Come to E for the live versions was (apart from the obvious...i.e. to make it easier to sing!) to be able to do that pawing....if he just paws with both hands at open strings...then 4 of the 6 strings will still be in the right key with the rest of the song, and it actually (crudely) makes that "mass of noise" fit in (surprisingly) with the rest of the song. i.e. Most people watching must be thinking "how come he's ripping the strings out of the guitar like a madman and yet it STILL sounds good??"....well..that's the answer!

Someone mentioned VanHalen and Jump. Technically that is live. They have a sequencer playing that synth parts but the sounds arn't on a tape, basically a computer is playing the synthesizer along with them. I'm sure some of the FM concert the Keyboardist might have been using a sequencer since if there's more than one key's track he can't play two at the same time. Especially during someting like stand back since you can't play the bass line and chords at the same time part of it was sequenced, but that still means it's live!
