Extreme in Boston

Watched this at the weekend - Nuno's playing is just spot on all the way throughout. One of the best full gigs I've seen!

Had that on my phone for a while. Tis very good indeed. Not sure about Nunos tone on it. Gets a bit spiky in places but the whole band are tight as a nuns whotsit.

I always liked his tone - will have to listen out again... But yeah, MIGHTILY impressive.

Makes the Get The Funk Out solo look easy at 1:25:57. Top stuff.

I saw them on this tour - tight as hell they were. Met Nuno after the gig as well - great night.

What was Nuno like? Some people say great guy, some the total opposite!

Still my favourite shredder. I'm going to enjoy this.

this seems a tad aggressive on pricing

Total rip-off

Have to say, I've watched a lot of their live videos and I'd always been fairly convinced that they do a *lot* of overdubbing for the release versions.

However, when I saw them live last year, I could only spot a single mistake - just a slight timing fluff in Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee. Even then, I'm not convinced it was a mistake rather than me not really being on the ball. The overall sound was absolutely phenomenal, as was the guitar tone. It was hands-down the best live gig I've ever seen (even beating Satriani at the NEC on the Extremist tour).

I met the band after the Birmingham gig. The other guys were all fantastic and really friendly (as well as more than a little bit unsure about whether they did a good job, which seemed utterly bizarre to me), but he seemed like he was cheerful-but-knackered. Couldn't really fault him on that, though; despite being really tired by the time we caught up with them, he was still a proper gent.

I'd definitely do it all again.

He was pleasant enough when I saw him - in fact, the whole band were.
