Just keep in mind folks that on the Tech section of the Official Site it's noted that Andrew sings at a rather low volume and the mic must be very sensitive to pick him up. Now, there could be one of 1000 reasons for the problem, be it dodgy mix or Feedback from Hell keeping the mix low. The counter...

...they were f-100 fog machines (hidden offstage) and were set to be on 50% all night which would have not set off the alarms. About every 3 minutes the lighting director (who was in control of them via front of house) would do a 100% full blast that lasted about 15 seconds. ...they not only used o...

No apologies for those photos. Personally, I'd always figured a heavy hand on the hazer/fogger to be a major factor in Sisters visual presentation.

In all fairness, I'm not really well-informed on what's out there and how big it is, not having been to a show s...

It was my understanding per The Guru that some of the more interesting Southwestern 'Silver Bullet' dates were simply booked by the promoter to fill in time between the West Coast/Vegas and Mexico. If the gang is making a run for the border again, we may get lucky again. Having quite literally waite...

Anyone hoping for Reptile House tunes (Burn, Valentine, Kiss the Carpet) on this tour ought to keep their fingers crossed. I know I heard a few during soundcheck at Dallas.
