Saw Dinosaur Jr. here the other night and was incredibly disappointed with the sound quality overall. I normally wouldn't bother to write a review, but this is about the worst I've ever heard. Although I felt that the noisy music I like suffered from extreme overamplification on poor equipment, my main gripe is that the vocals were output way too low. It didn't matter if I was right in front or upstairs where I was forced to retreat. I know it's dinosaur jr, (who i respect as artists) and I was not expecting anything that resembles high fidelity, but I couldn't understand a single word. I was staring at a staff member sitting on the stage next to the speaker and he seemed oblivious. Nobody seemed to notice or care. I can't honestly say whether its Tips or the band's equipment that I want to blame, but I saw Lou Barlow in Austin years ago and enjoyed that just fine. I'd expect that basic level adjustments to be made during sound check, and I know that didn't work out. Too bad.
