Mogwai breaking the law

I thought this might be of interest to Mogwai fans of the board

64Kbps MP3 version

VBR MP3 version

France has very strict noise polution levels and music cannot exceed 105 decibels. Mogwai are a band clearly not suited for this country, this is an mp3 of their final song in a set where they slowly but surely crank the volume up quite a bit beyond the legal limit.

You can hear arguing in the backround when the song starts to get really loud, that's the venues sound technician arguing with the Mogwai sound technician about turning the volume down. They start fighting over it (which gives the big volume swells) and they then start brawling over it.

Someone should have probably guessed they were going to go over the limit from the sound engineer sneering "105 my arse" at the start of the song

You also get to here people swearing in different dialects and languages!
