microphone

oi got meself thois baby recently..

PG48 Vocal Microphone
Tailored frequency response is smooth and extended. Tuned specifically for vocal applications. Cardioid polar pattern picks up the most sound from in front of the microphone and some sound from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in high volume settings. Dynamic cartridge has a simple, rugged coil. Handles extreme volume levels without distortion.
Cartridge includes a neodymium magnet for high output level. Durable metal construction. On/off switch for onstage control. Steel mesh ball grille with integral "pop" filter reduces explosive breath sounds and wind noise.

I would be suprised if he used a PG48, as the standard vocal mic even small venues provide is an SM58 or Beta 58. The PG is the budget model typically used by garage bands, or amateur shows where the mics are guaranteed to get stolen or destroyed.

maybe a barrett 50, now there would be some swinging in the crowd thwn or maybe just a plain old M50 ( not the motorway ) and Philip could load with rounds draped over the neck of his guitar..

now that would get the crowd going

You know he'd be on for it too Philip

[body-of-an-american]

You should get him one of those things that people in the theatre use.. know what im on about? the one that sticks to your forehead...

i suppose the mic swinging is part of the show, though

Mic swinging is rock and roll, Id like to see Philip put his guitar through the bass drum at the end of the show and Spider do a 'Paul Simonen' with his whistle and break it in half on the stage floor.

I'd bet money that silly string will be prohibited by security. Some bullshit like "as the moisture rapidly evaporates there's a fire risk. You could kill everyone in the venue. None silly string. It wouldn't be very silly after you PUT OUT AN EYE!"

You say that in jest, but before seeing the Dropkick Murphys in a club in Brisbane and the stage announcer informed us to Dance Safely

[Sober]

So, did you dance safely? Like slows, jigs and all? Hope nobody bumped in each other at a rock show, that would be a shame.

Me & the wife tried to foxtrot to Fields Of Athenry, but there were 'crowd control monitors' who didn't take too kindly to my footwork

I can well believe it. I remember going to a festival where the promoters had given the artists a list of the kind of crowd behaviour that they weren't allowed to encourage. You can guess the sort of thing: no moshing, no pogoing, no crowd-surfing and so on. Early on in their set, one of the singers (I can't remember who it was) read out the list to the crowd. Then looked at the crowd, grinned, and said, "Just do what you like, guys."

Did the DM crowd proceed with the Safety Dance? Did DM lead the way by covering it?

And if so, did they do it Without Hats?

Thankfully due to a flaky firewall, the tune won't get in back into my head

It was a Shure Translater model. Wasn't hooked up right.

Wasn't it? He costs us a fortune in microphones, that boy.

Shure does
