A 10/9/24 concert in a small setting where, lacking the giant video screens they use in their major concerts, they just show up and play virtually nonstop, putting on exactly the same show they would for a crowd of 50,000, musically speaking. Sadly, my favorite Pau song, 23, seems to have been dropped from their recent playlists. And, much as I’d like to see Pau at the piano singing Black Holes and Breathe, I guess she is sticking by her decision not to play such emotional material in public.
October 15, 2024 at 6:35 am #54929Much better than average audio quality, considering it was taken with a fancam. The small venue helped a lot, for sure. But halfway through it got bad and distorted, even painful (for my ears) at times. I’m not mentioning this just complain about fancams again. Some commenters mentioned their thanks for it, because they were at that concert, not close to the stage, and appreciate reliving it.
Meanwhile, I’ve seen mics go up in quality and down in price. The concert we heard above was recorded with a $180 mic. I think we’ll see fancam audio quality go up, at least in small venues without thousands of screamy fans. These new, more affordable “32-bit float” mics can record very loud music without distortion, and can be more easily processed to suit all audio volumes.

November 9, 2024 at 3:46 am #55169This track is an appreciation of Ale’s bass playing by a fan who remixed the performance to bring the bass more into the foreground. Not only a great bassist but she’s very easy on the eyes as well.
November 10, 2024 at 7:00 am #55187Yeah, nice to hear that. Went to Don’s page to learn more.
A great cover of a 30 year old song. I didn’t know that the bass part was Flea’s. Before seeing your post I came here to post a reaction to this song. I liked learning a few things from it, and I like listening more closely to them on subsequent plays. 8 minutes:

February 5, 2025 at 7:10 pm #56099Paul Reed Smith (PRS) is the brand one usually sees Dany playing. This is a concert celebrating the company’s 40th year with a number of famous and/or notable players featured. This video is notable for Dany performing the AC/DC hit, Back in Black. Note that Orianthi takes a solo and she’s clearly a shredder, which Dany is not. When people complain that Dany doesn’t take many solos I point out that Dany takes NO solos. Even those times when she seems to take a solo, you’ll find the “solo” is note-for-note the same every time they perform the song. I then point out that The Warning is not trying to be Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Jimi Hendrix Experience or any other such band. They are a songwriting band and showoffy extemporaneous solos are kind of beside the point for their project.
February 6, 2025 at 4:49 am #56109Why The Warning isn’t just another rock band. What makes them stand out?
February 7, 2025 at 4:48 pm #56145One thing I always liked about The Warning was their grunginess, showing up to play basically in street clothes (awards shows and the like aside, of course).
With this recent show, they seem to be experimenting with wardrobe. Most notable is Pau handing the drumsticks to someone else so she could go up front to sing. She’s wearing an outfit that’s easier for you to see than for me to effectively describe. I was surprised that it involves wearing some sort of garter system to hold the stockings up.
And they did at least one wardrobe change involving a black theme:
