But what DOES bother me, is the use of editing in their recent broadcast shows, including the Chicago. I understand that this is very common in video production and if you want to fix a thing or two, fine (though I prefer not to). But Scott's vocals on that Chicago show is just downright not live. I would rather have heard their genuine live sound. If you want to autotune the vocal a little, whatever...just don't re-record it....if that's indeed what they did.
couldnt agree more brother. i think autotune is a useful tool for album recordings. thats why songs off albums are what people consider "perfect" however the Chicago show was definitely tuned or recorded over because i watched the full hour show on Palladia and Scott was in fact perfect. he had an old growl in his voice on a couple songs that he just can't do live anymore. he can put on a helluva show dont get me wrong, but in the last 10 years he has never been that spot on.
Now onto my opinion on scott fucking up songs. i think its inexcusable, being that i could go up there and sing their set list word for word, and i have never performed live and STP as a band has performed together for 15 years. not to mention that the set list on this tour is almost THE EXACT SAME for every show. there is no reason for him to be messing up lyrics. however with that said, i could give a fuck if he fucks up two lines in a concert becasue i probably wont even notice it during the show. he can still perform, though his singing as well as his presentation techniques have evolved from what the once were. with that said, i can't wait to see them again.
