    From the clips, I think the Boston show was a bit more "on key" - still bloody great stuff, though!

    Great trailer - loved the bit from Brian May at the end!

    I got flashbacks to seeing the Porno show in Birmingham a couple of years back. I'd seen it a few times on YouTube where they just stop and the crowd sings most of the song, but when it happened all around us...it was the kind of atmosphere that I'd never encountered before.

    The rest of the show was, of course, incredible, capped off by Gary doing his monkey-boy thing and climbing all over the light fittings, right above the crowd.

    Easily the best band I've ever seen live.

    Nuno had a weird tone on teh Boston one.  Like his guitar was going through a cocked wah or something.  His tone sounds good here.

    What EQ does Nuno use on his amps? He gets a great sound.

    Sounds like quite a lot of mids and just the right amount of top end to make it stand out, and his Bill Lawrence pickups would have a lot to do with his sounds as well.  He doesnt seem to use much bass.

    Yeah, he doesn't use anywhere near as much low-end as he used to in the Porno/III Sides era - although that could be their sound guy putting a high-pass on it. He went a lot more classic-rock with his tone around Waiting For The Punchline and his solo stuff, and has kinda stayed there.

    WFTP has the best guitar tones I have ever heard on an album.  The main riff and tone on Cynical is perfect.

    Totally with you there, dude. Ironically, all done by ragging the balls off a Fender amp that was falling apart.

    Yeah, and the worst is that it can most likely never be reproduced again according to Bob St John on GearSlutz:

    he vibroverb was an original, not a reissue, if i remember right. we had two of them...that was the only one that sounded like that. i believe it had a microphonic tube...which was part of that peaky, saturated sound. if my memory serves me correctly, i don't think he was using an overdrive or pedal unless for an obvious octave or phaser effect. when the tube tied, i don't believe the amp ever sounded the same, hence it never showed up again. i'm pretty sure we used it on some of schizophonic, too...it (like nuno) had a very inimitable sound. i'll have to check out the session notes (which i believe i may have) and get back to you on what the actual front end was before the amp...
    Wouldn't it be great it someone made a Vibroverb amp that had some kind of a mod to capture that tone?

    Disagree, not keen on the tone on WFTP.

    Yeah, but you insist on playing PRS guitars so your opinion is null and void  ;)  ;) ;)

    @DLM I like to sneak up ... I'm not powerful enough for a full frontal assault.

    Full frontal yes, assault ... no

    Loved Nuno since the 80s, saw the Porno tour and loved it too. Not a fan of his Phil Collen inspired squelchy compressed to buggery tone though.

    @Benson what gives you the impression his tone is compressed?  Not being argumentative, just curious. 

    As far as I know, Nuno doesn't use a compressor in his rig.  His rig of late has been one of the Boss GT units for delay, reverb and for the flanger on It's a Monster, and he runs that into a Boss OC-3 pedal.  From there he goes into his Nuno King amp.  He used to use a Ratt for gain boost but, as far as I know, the Nuno amp has a Ratt built into the circuit on it - I could be wrong on this but this is what I understand from reading about the amp. 

    His tone definitely sounds like he rolls off a lot of bass and he seems to like his mids and top end a lot.

    My ears! You don't need to have a compressor in your signal chain to have a compressed tone, the type of amp you use, the valves, the way you run your master volume and pre-amp, pickups, amount of gain you play with etc.. can all add compression. Not bashing Nuno, I love him and his playing, one of the most seriously underrated guitarists of his generation.
