Haven't been here in awhile and I see that I have a lot to catch up on! So many new names that I have never heard of. Pretty exciting!

Good point Lauren. I bet sitting further back would balance the sound better. But like you said, it's a choice and I would rather see the kids singing so I will sit up frontLauren wrote:I think if you sit up front, the instruments sound louder because they're right in front of you. If we were sitting in the center of the church, the sound would be mixed better. So it's a choice we make. Sit up front to watch the kids' expressions and occasionally hear a distinct voice, or sit in the center and hear what the sound board guys are hearing.Malibu wrote:I agree that some times the music overpowers the boys voices. I haven't noticed it much on the CD's, but I did notice it during the 2 Canadian concerts I attended. Unforunately in my reviews I stated the some of the boys sounded "weak" instead of stating that the music was overpowering them. I think that caused a little stir here on the forum (I wasn't a member, but my review was posted by one of the blogs). I think they either should turn up the mic's or somehow soften the instruments (I prefer the latter).
Lexi, I haven't had a chance to read your review yet (still at work...) but I will when I get home.
EDIT: I should also say that I love how they have gone away from the synthesized music and towards the string quartet, recorder etc. I just wish it wouldn't overpower the boys at time.
thanks so much for your feelings and joy of the consrt i am gald tooMalibu wrote:Just got up from sleeping since I didn't get home until nearly 4am last night. Nothing like a last minute decision to make a ~10 hour round trip to see Libera in Chicago. I must say it was definitely worth it ...
Anyway, I think that's all I got for now. Overall I'm glad I went even though it was a 10 hour round trip for a 2 hour concert, but that just goes to show how much I love Libera. I wouldn't do that for any other group.

If they did then I might just hijack a plane and come see them after all It's my all time favourite version because the words of Locus iste mean so much to me...Malibu wrote: As always Sanctus was amazing! To anyone else that was there, did they do the Locus Iste intro to it? I don't remember hearing it in Canada, but either way I loved the intro. I wish they would redo that song on a CD with that intro. I love watching it on Youtube.
Yes it's so important that the boys get that kind of feedback, so thank you for that.Malibu wrote:He said the comments really do mean a lot, and he will be sure to pass them on to his son
I understand, same hereMalibu wrote: Overall I'm glad I went even though it was a 10 hour round trip for a 2 hour concert, but that just goes to show how much I love Libera. I wouldn't do that for any other group.

That's a throwback to the 80's but thanks I know what you mean.Lauren wrote:videotaping skills!
I do have the audio of the introduction by the pastor (including the bit about 'the English language being spoken the way God intended' ) as well as the prayer, leading up to Gloria.JimmyRiddle wrote:I deleted the whole service after I edited the bits Libera took part in, so unfortunately I can't show the pastor's comment about 'English accents' and also the Piano/Organ duet (which I thought was very good when I watched it)...
...unless some of the techies can advise me how you can recover files you have emptied from the desktop wastebasket?
Thanks for posting the review and pictures, shame I can't be there. I noticed John, Kent and yourself in the photo's but where is that Frenchman. Oh! I keep forgetting Patrick is a bit camera shyLauren wrote:Lexi's review of the St. Paul concert with a very short video I just uploaded of the end of the concert. But at least you can see everyone.
