there's a vid from one of the shows where Olli's bass packs up working and there is a mad scramble to replace the cables...not seen one where its Paul's guitar. I was front-row for 3 of the shows and it did feel a bit weird that the sound was blasting out right behind my head when I could barely see them on the small-stage but it was def. live sound! I do agree that some of the backing vocals may be playback...I know what Paul sounds like when he sings and its not like that!
