revbobuk Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 After the reviews - here, for example - they may well wish to remain anonymous. But it would be really interesting to hear opinions from people who actually know what went on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Possible factor, gig was in Croke Park, a football Stadium notorious (as I understand) for tricky sound. Doubtless not helped by the strongest member of the band deciding not to join the tour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empyfree Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Don’t think much blame can be laid on the singers here. Playback tracks (whether backing or including vocals) should be clear(ish) across the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being somewhat ironic, not blaming the singers... but it is by all accounts a very tricky venue, possibly not the best place to start with all the added pressures of first shows...

Stuart91 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Maybe they should just have used a huge C4 rig like they did last time around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah gotcha, I missed the irony! Almost seems like there should be “local experts” at these tricky venues, maybe with an obscure PA, weird placement etc to really get the best out of it. Then just have a touring FOH package. Maybe there is, just seems strange to think you can tour a PA that size and hope it works everywhere.

I am reminded of the PA at the Minack Theatre - a mixture of odd bits and pieces, rusty and sea-stained, but it works - every seat can hear.

paulears Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Some gigs seem to be so much like being in the Eurovision Song Contest. One of the names apologises for the bad sound meaning somebody is tarred for the rest of their career. If you sign up for a job, and do it, rather than walking before (which is also a bad thing for the CV) the result stays with you. Anything you say to deflect the blame will reflect right back. If the person in charge resigns or get sacked and the next gig is solid, then they were crap. If they stay with total support, and the next gig is a good one, the first bad one was still their fault. They cannot win and they cannot shake of the fact they were involved. Funny world we live in. A bit like being a football manager. You carry the can for the team playing badly, and once they start, you can't do a thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIR at Minack the main seating pa is Bose as are the bits that get put in to fill from the wings with the Bose control system in the box. Subs are RCF.
