Modern vintage live Sound

Sometimes opportunity falls simply into your lap. When a friend from Hamburg asked me last year if I would join him in Ju-ne 2018 for Germany’s only Foo Fighters concert, I couldn’t have guessed that this rather leisurely event would directly coincide with a review happening at the same time. As a long-time Foos fan the concert certainly was a special experience for me personally, but it was also extraordinary for the Tonmeister in me. The audience of 60,000 people at the Hamburg trotting track were treated with arguably the best live sound I’d ever heard. Punchy, transparent, clear, and nuanced. But yet with the sonic thrust you’d expect from a true rock band. Impressive. It so happened I found out later that the concert was mixed on the very desk I was going to review within the next few days.
