Appalling Sound Quality
by Anonymous on 9/18/14Citi Performing Arts Center Emerson Colonial Theatre - BostonSound quality was extremely poor at the beginning moving to just terrible at the end of the show (and I was in row 15 centered). What's the point of having 3 drummers other than giving a news line to promote the King Crimson comeback? You could only hear a clean sound from other instruments (or simply Jakko’s voice) in the songs where drummers barely played. The sound mixing was also terrible. In the songs where you were expecting Tony’s bass to sound predominantly (e.g. Sailor’s Tale) you couldn’t hear him, while bass sound was too loud in songs without bass leadership. I’m sure they will improve sound quality in the future shows (Boston was only 3rd city in the tour). Honestly, I enjoyed much more the 21st Century Schizoid Band concert in 2003. Mel Collins and Jakko were parto of them (plus Ian McDonald & Peter Giles). I would like to know their view…
