Ghost Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Title says it all. It's pretty well known .although it hasn't ben admitted by the band, I think- that The Mark, Tom and Travis Show was pretty much doctored in studio in order to be released, but... how much? and in which parts? EDIT: I don't consider the mixing and mastering. I'm talking about extra recordings in studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hard to say, I know it's seen as common knowledge that it was doctored up in the studio and everything, but their live show WAS pretty on point during that era. It's easy to forget since Tom became sloppy then terrible not too long after that, but when compared to stuff like the Big Day Out 2000 videos, it's not too insanely polished.

Yup, Travis actually confirmed this in an interview years ago, he said everything but the drums and banter had to pretty much be rerecorded. Wish I could find that interview again.

Ghost Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Now that you say it, I think I remember that interview too. I was guessing that the record could be 75% of the actual show or selection of songs. But my impression was more like it was all faked. I mean, not a real whole show (well, this should be on the booklet), but real live recordings (separated tracks or instruments), audience, and done all in different shows of that tour. Then, selected the best performances, sequence them, mixing the recorded live tracks, adding the audience recording and the banter in between on the mix, adding some overdubbing when needed, and then mastering.

Live Fast Die Fun Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I remember hearing that only the bass and drums were live, and even a lot of the banter was in studio with just the sounds of the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shocks me when I watch that video and then listen to what Tom sounds like right now. It's like night and day.

Knapppers Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 wouldnt be suprised if his voice is touched up in that video tbh. Sounds too clean to be all hime with no effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 there's a bootleg available of one of the performances they recorded for TMT&TS. surprisingly, a lot of it doesn't sound wildly different than the album. if i had to say what percentage is actually live, i'd say 75%. they probably re-recorded a few vocal takes and guitar/bass parts, but not many. and that's going off the recording 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeling_This_1 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Im pretty sure theres audio recordings of both shows. Ive never listened to them though. Maybe someone will send them to me They sounded REALLY good in 99/00. (That 7.25.2000 performance might be my favorite.) The album sounds amazing so I cant complain it was heavily edited. They didnt NEED it, but it was probably for the best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I want to see that Travis interview now where he says it was all pretty much fake. I've never seen it. Super interesting. Doctored or not, I still absolutely love the sound of the album so I don't even care. What would be boring now would be a new live album of their current set, also fixed in the studio. The way they play songs live now, it wouldn't be interesting enough to make a live album out of, with all the backing tracks, and playing the songs exactly the same tempo as the recordings, etc... I think a live album today would be stupid. HOWEVER I would totally love to get a live DVD of some sort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recorded this when it came out, it was actually before they released the video for atst. I had seen what's my age again, but that was all I knew of blink. I fell in love with them from this performance, and I remember liking this sound better than the recorded version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
