These guys still know how to rock.

Mrs.E and I went to see them a couple of years ago at the beginning of
the "Licks" tour at the Fleet Center in Boston. It was horrible because
of the disgusting sound system at the Center.

This performance was actually better, sound-wise.

That's the band's fault. Any band that has the desire and the budget can
bring in whatever equipment they want and make almost any hall sound good.
The Stones have never really cared much about their sound. The Dead, on the
other hand, were able to produce breathtaking sound back in the early 1970s,
simply by trying, and hooking up with the appropriate sound geeks (a company
named Alembic, which is still around).

The knowledge has been passed on to bands like String Cheese Incident, who
does a fantastic job with their sound, even in outdoor locations, which are
usually difficult. They have no shows scheduled at the moment, but check in
the spring and see if they're going to be near you:
