Sepultura - Under a Pale Grey Sky (double live album)

[NAD]

I thought this was supposed to give old Max fans one last hurrah?

Not impressed. :Smug:

 

[JayKeeley]

Never heard it, although always wanted it (in the digipak version).

Now, it looks like I'll avoid. What's bad about it then?

 

[NAD]

Well, Max sounds terrific. Other than that... no. I caught them live a few months before this particular show was recorded (both in late 1996), and this recording does not capture the band's energy AT ALL. The guitars are buried in the mix, the drums sound very sterile, and the tempo is off for nearly every track.

I'll make you a CD-R or two if you want, but I wouldn't buy it if I was joo. I'm going to give it another shot on a better stereo to see if the mix improves, but my hopes aren't very high.

NOTE TO ALL BANDS MAKING LIVE RECORDINGS: Listen and learn to Slayer's Decade of Aggression. If every live album was like this, I would buy 3 copies of every live release EVER.

If you don't like it enough to keep, I'll buy it from you or trade you. Look, I collect all things Tribe ok?! I even have Nation and Against (which I think are undeservedly bashed). Otherwise, yeah, I'll take a CD-R.

We need to start collecting a list of CD-Rs and then send them in batches to save on shipping. Thanks for the last bunch by the way, that Solefald is really, really good - probably their best album IMO, and I now see what you mean about the slight Into Eternity similarities in the vox. The clean vocalists def sing in the same register.

I was at that very show, you know. :Smug:

i think it's a great live record .. for me the live version of Inner Self on this is worth the price ... total goosebumps inducing.

but there are way too many post Arise tracks here to make it a killer record.

but I do not agree that production wise Decade of Aggrssion is better ... the Sepultura one is fucking great ... it is the track lisiting that weaken it.

the best live disc i ever heard is Exodus - Another Lesson in Violence ... speaking of Exodus ... just heading out to catch them tonight!!!

Send me a list anytime mate. Glad you dig that Solefald, Demonspell will be happy too.

Oh yeah? All 3 shows that D.O.A. was recorded from, including one in San Bernadino down the street from my Alma Mater?

but there are way too many post Arise tracks here to make it a killer record.

Chaos A.D. > Arise > ( Roots & Beneath the Remains )

 

[Under a Stone]

I thought it was pretty medicore if you ask me, i wish they played the full versions of Beneath the Remains, Mass Hypnosis and Desperate Cry.

Wait a minute! I don't own it, but I've seen it. And it definitely was recorded at Wembley Arena (London) on the Clash of the Titans tour - around 1990? They headlined, and Megadeth, Testament, and Suicidal Tendencies supported. Even the pictures on the inside of the CD box are of Wembley Arena (setting up the stage etc).

However, correct me where I'm wrong.

 

[NAD]

DOA:
Disc 1: recorded at Lakeland Coliseum, Lakeland, Florida, 7/13/1991
Disc 2: tracks 1,2, & 7 recorded at Wembley Arena, London, England 10/14/1990
tracks 3-6, 8-10 recorded at Orange Pavilion, San Bernardino, California 3/8/1991

Oh, and the live Sepultura tracks on Blood Rooted RULE, if the double live album was like that it'd be great. Alas.
