Personally I didn't have a problem with the sound where I was sitting at the MEN. I don't think the live keys came through the mix as much as the programming,...

Yeah what should I say? To some extent I agree with the reviews provided here. I loved it, after all. The hightlight to me was that they played new gold dream...
Just got back from Sheffield - was in the 2nd row slap bang in front of the speakers and as regards sound quality I have to admit it didn't seem perfect - a...
