That's my point.  I think Bonnie and I weren't communicating clearly
when we lit off this discussion.  I was speaking of straight hoary ol'
rock'n'roll stuff; I think she's more interested in theater applications
and, potentially, semi-accoustic acts (ala PP&M)...
-> The shows were spectacular, but it didn't sound good.
That's typically.  It sucks, but it's typical.  Adjust your expectations
and enjoy hearing "The Wall Part II" performed live for the umpteenth
time.  :-)
-> 1/2 an hour is never enough time to align a system the way I like...
Unfortunately, though, and you know this, lengthy soundchecks are
_right out_ in most roadshows these days.  Again, a "typically sucky"
situation :-( ...
-> The exception would be those venues that are just plain impossible to

A 20,000 seat hockey arena falls in that category.  Hell, even Bob
Scovil has admitted publicly to giving up after 30 minutes of beating
on a system's rigging, when in an arena...
