Re: Kevin, you misunderstand

Yeah, I think you missed the joke on that one, Mc. Kevin was referring
to my comment that most rock fans were dolts. It was just a joke. And
remember that little pet peeve of mine about using listers' names in
subject lines......? ;-)

I think we're forgetting here that even *Entwistle* wasn't mixed very loud
at the venues on the 2000 tour.

I don't. I think Pete & Roger leave that sort of thing up to their sound
crew. All Pete & Roger need to concern themselves with is the stage volume
& stage monitors - whether or not they can hear things properly on stage.
I don't think Roger runs out to the middle of a venue during a soundcheck &
yells, "OK, Pete, play your guitar so I can hear how it sounds!"
We shouldn't need to go over this again, but keep in mind: all venues are
unique soundwise, there are noise laws in each city, & things sound
different depending on where you're sitting.
And besides, the big high-ticket concerts just aren't loud anymore.
