'ello,
Rick's comments on the sound at the Yes concert don't surprise one. Apart from Steve Hackett(on all occasions), early KC gigs and two recent BJH concerts , I have yet to hear a decent sounding stage rig. Despite the garbage written about the amazing Turbo sound systems etc etc, there always appears to be a twat on the desk who completely screws it for everyone. The reason always seems to be an overdriven system with an appalling mid range honk and an accompanying bass overhang that destroys the exquisite bits you are always waiting for. The reason the Hackett, KC and BJH gigs sounded good was the restraint in volume that allowed all parts to be heard. There, I've said it. I'm back and fuelled by good English beer after two weeks of French Froth.
Bye,
Martinge
