Great performers, poor vocal sound, useless tv monitors
by p8r on 9/20/25Petersen Events Center - PittsburghRating: 4 out of 5Got turned onto Hemlocke Springs! Fantastic performances, but the vocal quality was noticeably distorted. Only the vocals, though; instrumentation was clear.
Also, our seats had us such that we couldn't see the keyboardist, the cellist, or the violinist (half the ensemble!). The obstruction was for props (clouds at ground level), so I suppose it's justifiable, but the large, low-res tv monitors (pixels the size of small floodlights, a quarter dimmer than the rest) only showed a narrow slice of straight ahead.
Venue just didn't live up to the talent
