Chelsea wolfe not done justice
by Sadiemarieborges on 11/19/13Royce Hall - UCLA - Los AngelesChelsea Wolfe and Anna Calvi are my two of my favorite musicians. I was beyond ecstatic to see this show and had high expectations having browsed endless live footage from both of these very talented women. Anna Calvi's set was lovely, but it was difficult to hear her vocals. The sound overall could have been better for her. By the time Chelsea was mid-set, the drums were completely drowning out her vocals and guitar playing, and the bass was deafening. The viola/violin could not be heard. A lot of details were lost. I can only think to blame the sound guy, who must have fallen asleep, because this is not how they are supposed to sound live and it was heartbreaking as an enthused listener and fan not to get to hear these songs as they are intended to be experienced. I hope if there is a next time that the instruments/vocals are evened out better. I don't know how these things went overlooked. Much love for the performers.
