Topic | Have you ever attended a concert by a major music artist or gone |

The two I went to were in concert/theater halls, and the audience was respectful and quiet during performances, applauding and such at the end of each song. Not even always that. WT are fairly strong on the production values where their concerts are concerned, & I have to say that every gig of theirs I've been to was as you describe for seating arrangements at least - though not with death metal for support acts, they do tend to lean more towards their own subgenre when picking support! Delain were their support act the last time I saw them with one, I think, and I managed to get a ticket for their joint concert with Evanescence in Leeds in April, so there's that. Anyway, I know acoustically that's a very different venue than the last one where I saw them, but even at the standing-room-only venues their sound is pretty damn good, to be frank. Their gigs aren't the sort where the sound is so distorted you can't tell what the lyrics are - in fact, they're very careful to make sure that's *not* the case. I've found Lacuna Coil are much the same way on tour - I've seen them in spaces with a capacity of 200, where I was just ten feet from Cristina on stage, and in spaces with capacity ten times that size, and their sound was amazing in both kinds of space. I've heard & seen festival recordings, too, and they aren't any less talented at managing the sound in that kind of space than in enclosed halls. Honestly, I think it depends far more on the bands/artists, their sound crews, and the venue acoustics, than it ever does on the genre of their music. I've heard people play beautifully in twenty-person rooms who could barely be heard in 500-capacity spaces, and bands tear up a 2000-capacity space with over-miking who've taken my breath away in dark little low-ceilinged clubs. That's why I don't ever generalise about this stuff. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
