UK - Fleetwood Mobiles recorded the recent Roger Waters tour dates in Birmingham and Manchester. The tour's production manager Andrew Zweck, who commissioned Fleetwood Mobiles to record the Manchester M.E.N Arena and Birmingham NEC concerts, says: "We were very happy with the job that Fleetwood did and everything went very smoothly at both concert venues."

The Fleetwood team consisted of Tim Summerhayes, Ollie Nesham and Matt Wood, who worked alongside Waters' long-time friend and producer James Guthrie to capture the audio in 5.1 surround sound. The concerts were also filmed in HD, with Nick Morris as director of photography.

"We recorded the audio in 48k, 96-bit using three RADARs as a 72-track and Pyramix for back-up," Summerhayes explains. "We understand the recording is being used for Roger's personal archive."
