I managed to get a lossless recording of the show. It came out okay (I'd rate it a B+). I may torrent it at future time if there is enough interest.

Being seated next to the sound board, what I was most attracted by was their sound system.  They had some state of the art realtime sampling system that was dynamically adjusting the acoustics.  Out of all the shows I'd seen at this venue, this was the best sound ever. Most shows sound awful unless your on the floor in the first 15 rows.

If anyone has any details on what they use, I'd be grateful for some info.

Thanks!

Awesome show last night, as SolitaryPine mentioned. This was my fifth show ('08 Orpheum Boston, '07 Agganis Arena Boston, '06 Agganis Arena Boston, '05 Orpheum Boston) and by far was one of the best they've done.

Pretty much the same band as last year's The Wall tour.

Gareth Darlington as sound engineer!

Also, It wasn't the Gunner's Dream that was played last night in Manchester, it was "Get Your Filthy Hands off my Desert" & "The Fletcher Memorial Home".

SolitaryPine not sure if this is what you are wanting to know, but during the UK tour last year I'm pretty sure Gareth Darlington was using a Yamaha PM5D mixing console (certainly in Basingstoke anyway). At a wild guess I would think it may be the same one he has on the NA tour, top of the range digital Yamaha desk at the moment.

As for the PA - not sure over there, in the UK their equipment is supplied by WigWam Acoustics.

Yeah...he certainly has slots of knobs to twiddle with
