Ed Lacy,

You are not alone. This is a frustration of mine as well. I think we are
victims of the electronic age. Most people are used to hearing music through
their stereo system, and when a live band is around, the sound technicians do
their best to match what people are used to hearing (or at least what *they*
are used to hearing). If they don't, the sound of the band seems a bit
lackluster to them. It's unfortunate that some music performances are given
the "in your face", "kick some butt" approach rather than to let the real
depth of the sound be revealed.

I feel better now!
