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:

You may be right. My son saw James Taylor at the Fleet Center and said it
was fantastic.
The Stones play too loud.

Hey .... did youse guys know that they actually introduce a low level of
distortion (called dither) to CD recordings in order to make them sound
good? Without it, low volume passages on CDs would be noticeably distorted
because of the low digital sampling rate. More useless information.

That's amazing. I'm gonna go tell Carmela about that. She's my cat. She was
trying to tell me something earlier today, and she wouldn't shut up. She had
food, she'd been played with, petted, brushed, and her litter box was
spotless, so it must've been something about CD recording technology. What
else could it have been?
