Still, on the upside, we wouldn't have had to listen to David Bowie reciting the lord's prayer like the complete twat he is.
LMAO!
Speaking as a guitarist myself, in the early eighties, radio systems for guitar sounded CRAP! They were VHF, not like UHF now, and completely killed the inherent tone of your guitar. Bassists and acoustic guitarists got away with it more cos they don't use an overdriven tone. I now use a Sennheiser and I can't hear the difference between it and a cable!
OH S**T!!! I've turned into a techno-nerd!!!!!!

Anyone know why Brian used both a wireless and a standard mic for live at Wembley ?
The early systems had an adverse effect on his guitar sound. Later on the wireless systems improved as others have said here and Brian figured out his treble booster had to be in signal chain in front of even the wireless, which is why the treble booster is now mounted to his guitar strap.

I really don't give a shit, sorry. I've moved on since you first asked 14 years ago.
The wireless takes the signal from the guitar TO the amp, the mic records the signal FROM the amp. Curly lead or wireless therefore have nothing to do with what happens to the signal when it comes from the amp.
radio transmission does not sound the same as a lead, not even these days.

The way the signal arrives at the amp has a big impact on the way it sounds from the amp
Brian uses wireless now becuase he likes the extra gain that the Sennhieser packs give the signal, in fact the team are working on producing that same gain boost for his studio set up to avoid using the wireless in the studio which is not ideal, back in those early days he simply didn't like the tone that much it was a different system.
The reason his guitar cut out in ilton Keynes was actually a switch fault not the cable
You're absolutely right, but you're arguing a non-existent point. The guy asked why Brian was using a wireless system AND and a mic, and I tried explaining that the mic needs to be there regardless of whether you use a lead or a wireless. Hardly rocket science, but apparently I failed miserably.
Arrh yes I see your point

It has to do with the treble booster I think. It's all in the documentary.

What has to do with the TB? the booster he was using back in the day is different to this one shown in the documentary, it was a Cornish one, but it was all about the reliablity and sound of the wireless systems back then, now he likes to the sound he gets because the Sennhiesher pack allows you to boost the signal from it and the reciever allows you to further adjust it at the amp end as well, The TB he uses now he has set to the max load, which also helps, but had he used this booster back then he would not have been able to get the same sound with a wireless system of the day
The simple reason was he couldn't get the sound he liked back then, only now with the system he has, irronically he can't even use the latest Sennheiser system bacause it doens't do what the earlier model did. So he has a collection of the older models that they use. Nigel is building a system that will replicate the current live tone in the studio when he records
