I asked this yesterday but I think it got lost in the Idol discussion, haha. I've seen a lot of comments about the sound during Alex's set - too loud, too much bass, vocals buried or shrill or unintelligible. I noticed during my one show (GNT - Puyallup, WA) that Allison's set was like that too. Does the opening act not get to soundcheck and thus get some sort of generic settings that don't necessarily sound very good? Is that what would have happened to Adam if he'd ever had to be an opening act for some bigger star like Katy or Pink or Gaga? There is no rule about the opener being loud. And it is not always the case. *** IMO Alex's set was not "too loud" until after Adam took the Wedding break -- Milwaukee was the first concert were Alex's set was so loud for me. And then it was really loud. But the volume on Adam's part was much higher and the sound mix shifted in Milwaukee too. >> I have been told the same thing by someone who attended every concert -- which I did not. I preferred the sound mix I heard in the earlier TOH Tour concert to the later heavier bass-percussion sound BUT there was much more energy in the room with the louder/heavier sound. Why they did it? It had to be Adam's preference. It is his show. *** Regarding Adam opening for someone else -- I doubt he would ever give up sound and creative control to anyone. He would have to make some concessions, like the opening act and co-touring acts have to agree on the sound and lighting equipment. *** IMO for the second half of the tour, and particularly in LA, Alex's performance was ruined by the loud, loud sound. I was at that concert with several people who are Adam fans but never saw him before. Most loved the concert. One of my friends - even with noise reducing earplugs -- had to move to the back of the theater because the bass and percussion was too loud. Thanks Q3. I always wear earplugs... (I've been to very few big shows in the past 20 years, Aerosmith, Elton John, Adam's GNT). If I do take them out for some reason, the sound is just one big blast of noise! I know the band has to play over the crowd noise, but I don't get why it has to be so deafening. I understand the energy thing, but I already have tinnitus and feel sorry for people who will get it in the future, haha. We were at a local taproom last weekend where there was a folk duo (not my cuppa, but we were there for friends!), and they were so loud, to play over all the people who were talking(yelling) and not paying them any attention, that even with my Etymotic (sp?) earplugs it was pretty painful at times. And it was too bad, because I bet if they were able to play just acoustic they'd have sounded great. The question about Adam opening for anyone else is just theoretical at this point, because I'm pretty sure he's beyond that!
