Paul McCartney Plays Tel Aviv with Meyer Sound MILO
Today, Paul McCartney will deliver a historic performance in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, nearly 43 years after the Israeli government banned The Beatles' show in 1965 for being too subversive. The highly anticipated occasion will be held at the city's Hayarkon Park, the site of concerts by Michael Jackson, U2, and Elton John. Slovenia-based Festival Novo Mesto and Israel's Kilim Electronics will provide a powerful Meyer Sound system for the event.
The main system comprises two hangs of 14 MILO line array loudspeakers each, augmented by two sidefill arrays of ten more MILO boxes each and several UPA-1P loudspeakers for frontfill. Forty-eight 700-HP subwoofers cover the low frequency and two towers of ten MICATM line array loudspeakers each serve as delays.
"Paul's very much a live rock and roll player, and he approaches the songs from a very straightforward, old-school perspective," explains McCartney's long-time FOH engineer Paul "Pab" Boothroyd. "People have an attachment to these songs, and it's my job to reproduce it faithfully, with the vocals and the hooks as they expect to hear them. The MILO array does a great job of delivering that degree of accuracy, with a focus that will cover every seat in the house. And the MILO handles the full dynamic range, from the intimacy of Paul playing solo with an acoustic guitar, to the whole band rocking full on."
