Helloween:
Many things I had in my career, but never the P.A. died. Espaço das Américas,
Săo Paulo, Brazil. 29.10.17
Good recording
a little bit far and hollow, with a big PA problem over the show, as you can
read on the taper’s notes, unfortunately one of the best parts of the show was
delayed 2 times due a failure in the PA, anyway amazing to have this reunion
with the 3 singers, playing music from all eras.
TAPER’S
NOTES: On November 2016,
Helloween announced that they would go on tour with both of the band's singers:
current Andi Deris and former Michael Kiske, along with founders Michael
Weikath and Markus Grosskopf, guitarrist, also singer and Gamma Ray founder Kai
Hansen and the newcomers Sascha Gerstner and Daniel 'Dani' Löble.
So, the seven musicians
started the Pumpkins United Tour with a "very limited exclusive premiere
show" in Monterey, Mexico, where Michael Kiske was kind of ill and he
could not sing with all of his potential, and he even had to use a few
pre-recorded vocal samples, which made a few fans(?) angry and a lot of them
worried. He recovered very quickly, as can be heard in this torrent, and
hopefully will be made available in DVD if they release this concert in video
as intended.
The equipment used here was
a Zoom H1 Handy Recorder set to 33% input sensibility,24-bit and 96kHz. That's
it.
The concert ran smoothly
until the sequence "Starlight / Ride the Sky / Judas / Heavy Metal (Is the
Law)" that made something break in the P.A. TWICE. So, there's the first,
incomplete attempt, the first fix attempt, the second song attempt and its
successful subsequent fix after a few minutes, and the complete song medley. I
included it all because the shorter version may be found later when they
release the DVD.
Audience recording, Quality -8.
