Swans Élysée Montmartre, Paris, France November 13th, 2023 LINEAGE: IPhone 11 Internal Mics M4A > Mastered and split in Adobe Audition to 320kbps MP3 SETLIST: Norman Westberg Opening Set The Beggar The Hanging Man The Memorious Cathedrals of Heaven No More of This Birthing COMMENTS: This was sent to me by a user on reddit, special thanks to them for taping. Some of the instruments sound very clear on this recording, but the vocals are very buried in some tracks, overall a decent capture of the second EU tour. I once again used some stereo expanding (sue me) but a very small amount this time. The Norman Westberg set tonight is interesting, due to technical reasons he ended up having to use a bass guitar for his ambient set, so it's a nice change from the usual sets he's been doing with Swans, and -possibly the only time he will ever do this. The Swans portion has some interesting changes too. At this point Ebbing has been completely cut from the setlist, likely to make room for the other tracks that have grown to monumental lengths. The Beggar here is now 55 minutes long, and some people talk of shows where it goes over an hour. The songs themselves also sound completely different to how they were just a month ago. Can this set of songs get much crazier?
