just for prr, doing a wee bit of filming for them so i'll be working. Sweet, nicely done! Have you got any idea what they plan to use your filming for when it's done? Tour vids like the webisodes from AVO, or something else? (If you're allowed to tell us, that is!) |

Would love some tour vids - been ages since the last one. I'm severely jealous - you'll have a great time!! I expect a lengthy report on the infamously crazed rock-n-roll tour antics that the band's famous for  |

These mini tour gigs are becoming more and more interesting. Quoting Chloë's Twitter:
I'm wondering whether that's going to be a third electric guitar or an acoustic one. *surprise*

Ok, here's an attempt at a setlist of the Cologne show. Please don't bash me if I missed something, I blame it on the vodka gilthar brought for Paul's birthday ;D 1. Les Malheurs 2. Black Mourning 3. Valour 4. Twyncyn 5. Last Man, Last Stand (thanks ryan!) *new song* 6. Deus 7. Patriarch (thanks sticky!) *new song* 8. Fight Fire (I can't stop saying how mind-blowing this song is, especially live) 9. AVO --- A. Ambassadors B. Arrival/Intention Craft IIRC, (7) was the song with Chloë on (a 3rd electric) guitar. It was quite interesting to see that for the first half of the song it looked like she was playing her bass lines on the guitar. With the Koko gig as my new reference regarding sound quality, I have to say that the sound in Cologne was probably the "worst" I've heard so far from PRR, but I'm sure that was totally to blame on the concrete nature of the venue. (The sound was still awesome compared to most gigs of other bands I've seen this year.) Oh, and a german fan brought a nice birthday cake for Paul...  |

Huh, that's an interesting set, nice to see a bunch of H&A tracks there, although it looks like Vicki Cupid and Apogee have bit the dust now. I wonder if we'll ever see them or Gloaming again...? And there's still, what, a good 25mins of TDT material that just...won't...go...
Interesting they don't need a bass on track 7...did it sound tinny at all? Or did they put the bass on the backing track? Do you remember anything about track 5?
Sounds like Paul had a good night then! Kudos to the bearer of cake and vodka!!

I'd be sad to see Gloaming go for good...VC I SUPPOSE I can live without but like you say, I'd be happier to see some of TDT scrapped-such as Ambassadors. Please, please, stop wasting ten minutes on ambassadors PRR! I am aware this is a controversial viewpoint but I just think it's the least relevant to the band's current sound of them all. That said, the European audiences have alwaysbeen very big on PRR's prog side, I think (but I'm not certain) they may be releasing different singles in Europe and the UK from H&A. So I wonder if Ambassadors will stay in the Europe sets and potentially not so much in the UK. Also...so,we've got one track down as Patriarch I wonder what the other new one they played is...any clues anybody? Judging by past experiences, I wouldn't be surprised if those 5 are our lot when it comes to the new stuff live- there are tracks off both the other 2 albums that never really made it into the set. |

And there's still, what, a good 25mins of TDT material that just...won't...go... As far as I'm concerned, I don't really care much about VC not being played live. I'd rather like to see Apogee or Gloaming again (or maybe even Bloodless on a few gigs). About TDT, as much as I like Ambassadors, it makes up for almost 20% of their set time. And as long as they don't start playing slightly longer gigs, I absolutely wouldn't mind 2-3 other (maybe even different ones between sets) songs instead. Interesting they don't need a bass on track 7...did it sound tinny at all? Or did they put the bass on the backing track? My bad memory makes me want to drive to Paris instantly... There were quieter parts in that song that sounded like they could use some bass, but the chorus was huge as usual. I don't think I heard a bass other than the synth on that song. Do you remember anything about track 5? Yes. I seem to remember that the first part didn't really appeal to me, maybe because it was almost exclusively vocals. Sounds a bit strange, as I absolutely adore their vocals, but from where I was standing at the venue, the vocals sounded a bit strange (with reference to known songs on other gigs) and the whole first part was quite a weird experience. I think by the time the sound became a little fuller I was ok with the song. I'm very curious to hear the studio version. |
