Porcupine Tree - Open Car (Manchester Castlefield Bowl) on the 29/06/23 An absolutely fantastic venue, with outstanding weather on the day. To which this includes a bit of irony, no re-uploads without permission.
Unfortunately the bass player Nate Nevarro had a serious family crisis and needed to fly home to the States to be with his loved ones. Through the magic of technology Nate’s bass was still heard at the show, even if you couldn't see him.
@@gerd5479 I was speaking to Ian Bond, Steven's long time FOH engineer, he was saying because of the live album multiple shows were recorded at the desk, so it wasn't a big deal to use the base stems from them recordings live. They're all on in ears so timing isn't a issue. They aren't using a 'laptop.'
@@ryanpatterson906 I am aware that they are recording shows with a view to a live album release and that they play to a click. The bass is no longer provided by a bass player playing live, rather it is generated from previous recordings. I can only imagine that if not a laptop. that some type of computing technology is essential in facilitating this process, no more than being a requirement for the recording of the gigs in the first place.
