Can't wait for this, been wanting to see Meshuggah for years, and Dev is always great . Hoping for a few older tracks to make a showing, had a look at the Glasgow set and was very Epicloud heavy

Got to be honest, Ive seen Dev loads of times over the years and every time the sound was crap to be honest! I guess that "wall of sound" production just can`t translate clearly over crappy venue PAs.
I've seen Dev a fair bit too, and the sound really was the worst I've heard it, for at least half the set anyways. Could barely make out any of Anneke's vocals and even Dev talking between songs sounded fuzzy. Was a bit of a shame as the performance was fantastic as usual. I was up in the seats so maybe it was better on the floor?
Yeah, twas epic but unsure about the sound. At the Roundhouse I thought Devy sounded good, but the sound yesterday reminded me of when I saw Periphery supporting Dream Theater. Messy and kinda flat.. wonder if it has much to do with everyone using an Axe Fx, but was still good. Deadhead and ZTO/By Your Command.. ^^
Was bad on the floor near the desk, could barely hear Dev talk in between songs, though people nearer the front seemed to respond when he spoke so it obviously wasnt bad everywhere in the venue. Not sure why, its the first concert Ive been to at Brixton Academy where the sound was poor.
They were using a new sound engineer instead of Paul so it may have been due to that. Brixton is a very difficult venue to get the sound right in. I've been going to gigs there for like, 12 years; bands like Down and SOAD I've left disappointed due to bad sound. Maybe this new guy had not done Brixton before...
Yeah i thought the sound could have been better too.. the mix was okay, i just thought it was so loud it all turned to soup by the time it reached my ears! great gig though, my voice is gone and my neck still hurts!
First time I went there was 1994 and its been great every time Ive been there. This was easily the loudest gig Ive ever heard there though. Most of the individual levels weren`t too bad but the overall level was just waaayy to high. Poor Anneke`s voice was swamped and Devin was indecipherable between songs.
