Ok I have got plenty of videos and photos from this gig and have explanied to some people including the Falconers guys that I will be uploading them and linking them here. However the hotel that I am in tonight has a rubbish upload speed so I will be YouTubing when I get back to yorkshire tomorrow and putting some more info up. Also got some great pics of fans that were at the gig inluding my self and heres the link to the photobucket folder until I sort it all out.

Just need to say Falconer are the nicest band I have ever met and Im not just saying that as a fan, but alot of bands could learn how to talk to their fans from these guys (No names *Cough* *Dragonforce* *Cough*).
Great night and well worth the days travel to be there I wil remember it forever.
Thanks guys

It sounded almost like someone was breathing on the camera mic. Otherwise, it seemed like the Camden Underworld had really good sound. The guys sounded pretty good on "Upon the Grave of Guilt." Can't wait for more! :)

Best gig ever, was truley amazing. I managed to shake Matthias and Jimmys hand and give Stefan a high five :D
Also Stole one of the large posters, about 200 falconer flyers. Managed to get a pick from Jimmy (which he handed to me), a pick from stefan and a drum stick.
WAHAY :D
The muffles seemed to follow the vocals so It may have been someone singing really loudly nearby or something lol, I don't know.
Also, lol at the picture of me :P

looks like I am in pain or something :P

Play in America, dammit. :icon_cry:
Seriously, I'd drive across the country to see Falconer play for 45 minutes. Surely there must be offers to be on some decent tours? Maybe there are reasons I'm unaware of that you don't perform in the US?
-
I don't think its the US, its just a lack of gigs in general. They have only done 3 gigs in the last 3 years, they will probably tour on the next CD if Matthias is willing.
-
The muffled sound I ink was something to do with the drums because in the more folky things it doesnt seem to make any noise. I had a phone overheat and had to fix it while being pushed around by a mosher lol.
I will upload what I can when i get home later today. I stayed up till 3 ish just to get that video uploaded.
I also missed the part where everone cheered when the mosher that was hitting people got dragged out by bouncers kicking and screaming :-p
-
He deserved it. He was just being a prick, fair enough if you want to mosh a bit but if you are hurting people and ruining peoples enjoyment then you should get the fuck out.
-
also when the hell did you get to meet the band :o
Was it after the gig?
-

I believe they don't tour much out of respect for Mathias' work schedule. His career is musical theater, so I believe the band works around that.
Just hope Falconer plays ProgPower USA some time soon. I keep offering sponsorship bids on them.
johnyt: thanks for your upload! The Clarion Call is my favorite tune. The sound quality on your video was a bit better. Though I think Lordturel is right about the drums. On your vid things seemed a bit more muffled when the bass drum was in use. So I think maybe that was interfering with digicam mics. I'm so glad for these videos, though. The guys really did sound great! :)

Yes they popped up to the pub after the gig and I got a round in mattias drinks bitter, the others are lager men.
Just realy down to earth people, and it made my night

I can totally respect working around Mathias' theater career, but seriously they ought to be able to at least come over once a year and hit a festival or two here in the states. I'm sure one day they will... I've just been a fan ever since the second album and I get sad that I may never see them live. I suppose until then these excellent videos that you folks are uploading will hold me over. Thanks, all.
-
Thanks for all the uploads! Someone who remember the setlist? :bangersmiley:

Thanks for the review! I was wondering how Dragonland fared. They're another band I would love to see live some day. I'm not overly-impressed with their earlier output, but I think Starfall was a step in the right direction, and Astronomy continued on that path. The band went from straight-up power metal to power/prog metal, IMO. :)
I noticed you commented on Mathias' stage presence in the review. That's something I've noticed in the few live videos that are floating around online. Mathias, you're an actor! Ham it up on stage with Falconer! :)
-
just to say it wasnt my review just one i found although i agree mathias does need to move a bit more some pics also

Oh, I missed the new thread. Quoting myself from the "preview" thread:
Well, it was definitely a great night. The crowd went crazy for Falconer - some had additional alcohol problems, so it took me some time to be able to enjoy the show. That drunken idiot not hearing the music anymore, but jumping and waving around, pushing and fighting everybody was really a downer. It was not until I told the security to have him removed (what was more than necessary at that point, because serious fighting was about to start) that I could concentrate on the stage. :icon_evil:
Mathias seemed a bit troubled by the ongoings in the crowd as well, but as professional as he is, his vocals were great nevertheless, of course. :)
I think the band also enjoyed the evening and I would have loved to hook up afterwards for a drink or two, but we were so dead tired after getting up at 3:45 (what was 2:45 in London time...) in the morning and travelling that we left right after they had left the stage.
Finally, after an unprepared (!) encore! C'mon guys, you can't come to play a headliner spot for a crazy crowd and don't prepare an encore!! :pillepalle: :icon_mrgreen: But I did not mind hearing 'Upon the Grave of Guilt' a second time either, hehe.
The peaks were as usual 'Mindtraveller' and 'The Clarion Call' with the crowd singing out loud like there was no tomorrow - goose bumps guaranteed (thinking of the Wacken gig and roughly ten thousand or more singing).
I don't know whether Karsten recognized me, when he went out to see the last minutes of Dragonland. We met before, but he might also have greeted me just to be friendly anyway, haha. ;)
Must see Falconer more often.
A guy standing next to me sent a note with his mobile to his twitter reading "Falconer are as awesome live as they are on there albums!". 'nough said.
-
Well all my videos are up and are set as a playlist also. I will try nd clean up the sound when my laptop gets back from repair. Stil the best gig I have been to. I was realy amazed how friendly everybody was. Also bring more shirts next time guys as a lot of people wanted them. I got one though :-)
-
Whoa, what can I say, I've read all your reviews and watched the videos eagerly and all that I feel now is a burning longing to finally be able to see them live :( ;)
The time will come...
-
Argh, I'm so jealous... I hate you all you lucky /"$%/$"/(/E"/($I! :P
N'way, maybe one day they'll come in Canada ~ I can dream on that ~ Metal scene's pretty intense in Montreal and Quebec :)
-
Yep, Canada has some pretty awesome metal bands for sure. If Falconer goes to Canada, so will I. :icon_biggrin:
-
I, too, envy all you lucky who could come to the concert. But I'm glad to hear you had an awesome time :icon_biggrin:
Also thanks for sharing pics and all these nice vids :icon_biggrin:
