[kj] You feel old when...

Greg,
 
      Haven't been to Axis since the KJ show I  think.   At axis, that floor 
area sounds boomy, and the subs for the  pa seem to make the stage resonate 
and make the bass frequencies take off a  bit.  At the same time,  the high 
frequencies there will take your  head off if you're in the wrong place at the 
wrong time.
        At the KJ show, the best sound  was standing at the back of the floor 
at the top of the stairs.  It got rid  of the boomy floor sound and geordies 
stage sound was loud and clear, as it was  going straight over the heads of 
the folks on the floor.  the fact that  most of those heads were balding and 
shiny I'm sure was a help.
         Live sound does seems to  be getting to be like a lost art or 
something.  When I go out on the odd  occasions when I get a chance,  it dosn't seem 
like it matters to people as  much as it used to.  In the 80's/early 90's 
there used to be a ton of  freelance sound people,  now it seems like there are 
hardly  any.      weird,                    Carl P.
