First off, I love The Duke Spirit and they gave a fine performance. However, whether it was the band's choice, or just bad sound technicians at The Roxy, I was deafened by this show, and it's now two days later and my ears have not fully recovered. I saw the band at their last Roxy show, as well as at The Troubadour and the sound wasn't such a problem, why this time? I don't know, but it was pointless to have blasted out so loudly, it only made The Duke Spirit's fine songs indecipherable much of the time. I'm a veteran concert goer for over 30 years, having attended hundreds of shows, and this ranks within the top 3 for awful, loud sound. Both opening acts, Free the Lions and Trash Kings also had too high a volume, but didn't suffer from the distortion evident during the headliner's set (and both gave great performances). It's a shame because if this problem hadn't occurred I would give this show 5 stars. I'll think twice before I set foot in The Roxy again, my ears ain't getting any younger!
