I was at the show in Chicago.  You guys have tremendous talent, but I have to say that the sound was terrible.  It was very hard to make out words during songs or during spoken parts.

    We sat in the middle balcony and I had a friend that sat in the front balcony. It was not too loud at all, just totally muddy. The only words that were clear, was when they did the encore song without the mics. I heard every word.

    The mics add so much to the bass and vocal percussion, but they were really off on the other mics.

    I may go see the show again in Aurora and see how it is.

    I also sing this type of music, so I like to listen to all of the parts. They are really great, but the sound really missed for me and the others I knew at the show.

    Wow scooter, I'm surprised to hear that! These old theatres usually have great accoustics.
    Where were you?
    We were in the front row, & there was a speaker right in front of me, which I thought was going to be horribly loud.
    My aunt had some ear plugs in her purse, that she used, but I didn't think it was too loud or hard to understand.
