Yesterday show in Toulouse (FR)

[The_Beast]

Hello,

I was at Firewind show yesterday night at Havana, Toulouse (FR).
I wanted to say that I was really disappointed by the crap sound they had during this concert. It took me 3 or 4 songs to hear the first guitar and I only heard Apollo's voice when the band came back on stage for the last 2 songs. All the rest was Mark's drums. I'm not interested in drums solo, I have Terrana's DVD, i can watch it at home.

It seems the band encountered technical problems at the begining of the show, they even apologized for that but I don't understand why :
-the bands of the first part had an excellent sound
-it took 1h15 to the sound technician to solve the problem. Is it so complicated to decrease the drums sound and/or increase Apollo's microphone?

That was the second time I saw Firewind. First time, last year, in 1st part of Angra was great; yesterday was one of my worst concert of 2008. I haven't heard such a bad sound in Havana since Kragens in nov 2007, but Kragens was only a first part, not Firewind.
Even if the band is nice and dynamic on stage, it can't erase the bad sound problem.
Hope the band will come back cause they'll have a revenge to take in Toulouse.


A disappointed fan.

Sorry to hear you're so dissepointed.
The gigs i went to were soundwise ok.
Had to change some coz it were the 1st but was rather ok.
Didnt hear a thing about bad sound.
Realy think there was something wrong with soundgear then.

London gig was awesome as well. Maybe that is a one off thing. Don't give up on them yet!

OK. It seems it was really bad luck for us tonight.

Anyway, here are some photos of the show.

I was there too and I found that the sound was good, maybe because I was just in front of the stage. But when I listen the videos I took it's true that Apollo's voice isn't very loud.

When I arrived at 6.20 I came inside the havana, it wasn't the real entrance, the other one opened only at 7.30, I saw some of the 1st bands rehearsing ^^

I've stayed in the havana until 2.15 with a friend and Bob, drinking whisky at the disco party which was after the show, it was really fun

I'm uploading videos on youtube, here's the link : http://www.youtube.com/draculasuperstar
