Dead Can Dance 2012 Tour

Argh, your report leaves me queasy and disgruntled. The accelerating dissolution of the divide between performance reality and fiction continues to erode musical culture. I've seen a number of polls lately asking the public how they feel about this lip-sync phenomenon and ever larger numbers seem to feel it makes no difference. As a culture, we first lost the ability to tolerate physical imperfections in the appearance of media stars, expecting every image to be Photoshop perfection. Now, the same hyper-real expectations seem to be poisoning our ability to tolerate the glitches of live musical performance.

I would have thought DCD would have attracted more than just 2600.

That's the capacity of the Concert Hall. The concert was sold out in a day (5 months ago).....and there's another one tonight.

I feel the same Photon.
The sideways banks of speakers were obviously there to 'mask' the sound of the real drummer and percussionist from those in the first few rows of the audience?

I should have realised earlier when I saw the large iMac monitor on the floor in front of Brendan?

i got the same impression of lisa when she sang in l.a. they would show closeups of her, and sometimes that voice didnt seem to be coming from her mouth. kinda weird. i didnt want to, and still dont want to believe that she may have been lip syncing.

Lip syncing is one thing.
Paying over a hundred dollars to sit and listen to a playback of the original LP recording you have at home.....is outrageous!?
