Toronto show



Just a quick post for now on this: the crowd was small; you could get real
close to the stage. Main problem I had was sound was terrible: vocals buried
deep in mix; guitar fairly inaudible; bass audible only in higher trebly
register. Drums ok - I didn`t think Luongo was that strong, at least last
night. Set list very similar to what has been reported earlier. The show was
VERY loud - I`ve seen the Who many times, and allowing for size of venue
differences this show was as loud as those or louder. I wouldn`t mind this
normally, but I wonder if scaling back the volume would improve the sound
clarity - to me the show was like listening to a bad boot played at extreme
volume ... JAE seemed generally pro forma about the whole thing., rather
cynical, with a lot of swearing, although those fingers did fly. There have
been similar comments to mine about the sound on reviews on this list of
earlier shows - I wonder why the situation can`t be fixed, or maybe it
depends on the nite, but for me this show was a big
disappointment...........Gary M.
