Killing Joke - The Wiltern, Los Angeles - 18.12.2010 (Flac)


Very Good sound

Original Info file:

A bit of sacrifice on best sound positioning by being front and center but I had to witness Jaz's intense facial expressions. I eq'd recording to bring up guitar and vocals that sound clearer than I remember live.
A friend further back said sound was better mixed with more guitar but I think
finished recording still conveys plenty of power.This was last date of North American tour. Youth had to leave tour for last three west coast dates
due to family matters but will return for London show. Band's guitar tech, Al Function, did a fine job filling in and his backing vocals were strong. After Happy Birthday was sung to Geordie, his cake was handed to audience who quickly
mauled it. Great performance by band but atmosphere lacking due to uncharacteristically tame gathering.
I was expecting to be smashed against stage and have a few bruises but perhaps the rain dampened enthusiasm for the many that were forced to stand outside and get soaked before being allowed to enter.The new songs are fantastically sublime, especially Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove, so be sure to buy the new album Absolute Dissent.Enjoy!
