I'm curious to what effect they were trying to accomplish; I know that the band does some interesting stuff with their music and I'd imagine they were after some specific kind of effect with it.

Wonder if it could be for some form of looping of vocal lines while he harmonizes over them? Here's an example, not sure why he'd need 3 of them for this though unless one has some other effect happening.

Mommy Mommy- Why is that singer moving around in circles?

Because the A2 hasn't has a chance to nail his other foot down yet!

LOL! Wish this site had a "like" button  ;)

Whenever I see things like that, it always makes me think of this:

Is this a concert or a press conference?

Maybe they were lacking a proper split, and one mic goes to monitors, one to FOH, and one to that guy with thick glasses in the front row recording it for posterity.

I'm 99% sure that it's a live show.

Laurie Anderson did this (3 mics) through the eighties and nineties.  One mic was dry (for speaking) and the other two were patched through effects, a harmonizer and a pitch-shifter, IIRC.  She would "eat the mic" on the one she was using so there was no discernible bleed from the other mics.

Then of course there's always the problem of the snare mic being bumped off position....

3 more mics and it would be a Jack Alexander setup.

With this setup I wouldn't have to worry about the singer because I wouldn't have a channel left for him.(16 mics into a 16 channel board) ;-)
