点评:10/24/26 went to see performance by Gene Watson a Nashville Legend
He has had numerous Number Ones over his more than sixty years playing country.
He still actively tours and performs his classic hit live,
He has his long term band as backup.
They are the problem - EXCESSIVE SOUND LEVEL!
We could not hear/understand the singers words - even though we knew the songs.
An example that shows how LOUD the Backup sound level was -
"Several times I saw the drummer strike a cymbal - but was not able to hear the cymbal."
This was another instance proving my comment -
"The worst thing that happened to live music was CHEAP HIGH POWER AMPS."
We PAID to HEAR his HITS as they were played on radio station and on his CDs.
He either needs to take control of the band's sound level or take an overdue retirement.
We could NOT clearly hear Gene's lyrics for Paper Rosie or Farewell party.
But we knew the song and the ladies in row in front of us sang a fair version.
Clay Campbell (owner?) of Ky Opry need to walk around the front of house to hear what the clients are hearing.
Seems that he hides in back.
翻译:10月24日,我去观看了纳什维尔传奇歌手吉恩·沃森的演出。
在六十多年的乡村音乐生涯中,他拥有众多冠军单曲。
他至今仍频繁巡演,现场演唱自己的经典金曲;
他的长期合作乐队则担任伴奏。
问题就出在这里——音量实在太大了!
我们根本听不清歌手在唱什么——尽管那些歌我们都耳熟能详。一个能体现备份音效音量有多大的例子——
“好几次我都看到鼓手敲打了钹——但却根本听不到钹声。”
这再次印证了我的观点:
“现场音乐遭遇的最糟糕事情,就是那些廉价却功率极大的扩音器。”
我们花钱就是为了聆听他在电台里播放的歌曲以及他CD里的曲目。
他要么得掌控乐队的音量水平,要么就该退休了——早就该如此了。我们没能清楚地听到Gene演唱的《Paper Rosie》和《Farewell Party》中的歌词。
不过我们熟悉这两首歌,而且我们前面那一排女士们唱得也相当不错。
Ky Opry的老板克雷·坎贝尔应该到前台周围走一走,听听顾客们听到的效果才对。
看起来他总是躲在后面呢。
