You, sir, have it in a nutshell.

imo, Geordie’s sound improved dramatically when he ditched the marshall pre and power amp racks from 90’s- 03 - for the framus amps on the next tour and that includes the gathering dvd. 
 
Still much lacking when compared from 83-firedances to 89-extremeties tone, the power and presence of the dual Burman 4000 pro 8x10 stacks are the ideal amp for geordie’s complex and subtle style. all other amps rob Geordie and the listener of so much of his tremendous sonic detail.

Hey fluwdot, curious what you thought of the sound on the XXV Gathering cd/dvd? While conceding that it's a mastered production (and admitting my ignorance in the nuances of sound tech), it sounded much better to me than anything on the 2003 tour -- that gave me hope. I never thought I'd hear "Song & Dance" (one of my favorites) or "Pandys" like that again. Too tough to tell from the current Youtubin' what tone is coming to our shores, but the anticipation is killing me.JiriP.S. If you bring the Burman, I volunteer my wife to help you carry it :)  <zap> Oh, hey what's that honey? Nah, nothin', just emailing and paying bills...fluw wrote: 
The last two albums combined with the new tunes does make the string of ‘chug chug shout’ much too long. Thankfully the kj records of 21st century haven’t seen much play on the current tour, for If it weren’t for their back catalog, attending a kj show would be pointless for me. As well, Geordie’s guitar tone and creativity seems become less interesting with every passing little buzzy 1/4th note.
 
And something I thought I would never imagine uttering, that geordie’s sound is the weakest link in this band currently. Given his tone is so anemic and the volume & punch of his instrument has been completely emasculated, it is essential that BPF and youth are back with a rejuvenated jaz. 
 

What ever happened to that gigantic open warm carillon bell harp sound that threatened the village heretics from atop valley’s mount?!  
 
Judging from the last two records and video of the current tour, The guitar sound is like andretti in a rusty ford pinto that needs a tune up!

I must admit I was quite disappointed when I heard it - like Blobbert said it sounded pretty much the same as Lighbringer.

Still, lets hear what it sounds like when it's done properly.

 

I am really hoping for something a bit different this time.

What I used to love was the fact no 2 recordings sounded the same - you never knew what you were going to get.

Recently it's all seems a bit 'lazy' [chugga-chug-shout] - the creativity & hunger to do something different seems to have gone.

C'mon KJ - throw us a curved ball!

Now BPF & Youth are back (for however long that may be) I'd love them to take their time & come up with - for want of a better expression - their Sgt Peppers.

 

A girl can dream can't she...?

I think both tracks will benefit from a proper (i.e. not HFTBOH style) production
