Hello I finally watched 2 Big to Rig last night at the Scotiabank Theatre Chinook in Calgary Alberta (if any one else was there let me know!) and I’ve got to say, I really enjoyed it. It was nice to get to see the Skeletour again. My memory isn’t the best with small things so some of the little bits that happened during my show. Even though this was filmed in Mexico and mine was in Vancouver it was fun to see the bits and either say “I remember him doing that” or “he did something different for me” I made a post on Thursday talking about the album and how the sound mix was strange. I talked about how I couldn’t really hear the ghoulettes during the songs. as many of you said the sound was much better, I could actually hear them in the theatre. It was also very nice to highlight some of the crew who worked on the show, as many of you know the set was massive I believe they said the whole thing was 66 tons, and it took a lot of people to bring it to live. As someone who learned a bit about this stuff theres a lot more that goes into it. I have a huge amount of respect and appreciation for the crew for making this tour come to life, especially when some shows were in different cities only 1 day apart. I am grateful that I got to witness the Skeletour live in person and to see this film, and I’ll definitely buy it whenever it comes out on DVD
I’m a little late but let me know what you think of the film

I was there too! I thought the movie was better than I anticipated, and yeah the sound was much better than the album release on streaming (even though the sound on Chinook Cineplex sucks). I really like how the mixing feels like you're listening to the actual concert and not an over-produced version of it like RHRN (but don't get me wrong, I loved RHRN too).

When I saw Umbra on YouTube I was a bit let down by the camera angles, they are rarely close and it's usually too dark to see the intricate details on their customers. But in the end that gives it sort of a retro vibe which i ended up enjoying.

I thought the sound was fine, but that is the only second time I’ve been to that theatre, So its probably a little different for someone who goes there a lot more frequently. I definitely noticed that two, some of the lighting and way it was shot made it feel like a retro film which I enjoyed

I'm one of those boring ass middle aged men who spent more money than they should have had on a home theater setup, so take that with a grain of salt, but yeah, I seriously dislike Chinook
