i was there- great gig but damn the sound sucked bad where i was- lower seating near the middle. mix was muddy and very little bass or kick drum getting to the back.

[@WeirdoWanderers]

We found that especially for The Pixies. The vocals were way too high.

@@WeirdoWanderers i imagine on the floor right near the front would have been crazy good sound wise but these stadium gigs just dont have the equipment to punch bass out into such a big area off the floor. being a rock band having distorted guitars makes even harder to mix well- a clean band would sound much better in a big setting like this i reckon.

Ummm, it was a concert, not a studio album. It was extremely entertaining and sounded amazing. Maybe the wiggles is more your style.

@@lancegraham7722 yeah i am aware its not going to sound like the album at a stadium- however- i saw Matchbox 20 at RAC arena in Perth this year and it actually did sound amazingly like the albums.. i think putting a band in a 50k capacity stadium is going to always have a poor sound but i didnt think it would be that bad. It depends also on ones perception- some people prob think bad sound sounds good... im a muso and have played live for years and perhaps i am just more picky than most. where exactly where you?

@electricimagesaustralia6899 i was right in the middle down in GA, so having been right in the guts of it probably helped. Going up to get drinks, there was a notable difference, maybe due to being further away, but I still wouldn't call it bad. Maybe the open roof that night wasn't the best call.
