Dark Tranquillity concert reviews and tour history

I think sound issues in Dark Tranquility's set marginalized an otherwise almost perfect gig (good crowd with no stupidity level or pushing). People in the middle rows before/after the moshpit still struggled to hear Mikael Stanne's vocals, and if you moved right to the stage, you were essentially only listening to an instrumental band. I heard the first 2 DT songs from back where the sound mixer guy was sitting, and vocals were a bit more audible there - however anywhere near the stage and you were literally listening to a band playing Dark Tranquility songs as instrumentals.

But Insomnium vocals were more than just audible, they were powerful. I wonder what happened with Dark Tranquility there? Mikael is a powerful vocalist as well so I can't imagine he was the problem. I have seen these 2 same bands before in London, England and the sound was way better in that small venue (Camden Underworld) than The Venue (which is a way more better developed).

The band was unmotivated and seemed to be quite burnt out from the tour. More surprising was the fact that they were only 4 on stage this evening and Stanne did not say a word about that fact. Quite strange...and not very nice playing a whole concert without the bass.
I really like them, but this was disappointing.

Great setlist, sound and performance. Overall just an amazing show!

Great Setlist and perfect sound! Just amazing!

Enjoyed the music. Vocals OK. Atmosphere was great.

I'm very disappointed.
