点评:Coldplay Candlelight Concert at Guildford Cathedral. The building is impressive and I'm sure the performers are very capable in their own right, but this venue is not suitable for amplified pop music, and the performance was dreadfully amplified and mixed. Big boomy reverbs all over the place. There were noticeable drum kit echos off the walls. There was a complete absence of mid tone; couldn't clearly hear the vocals except for the high notes, the guitar solos were lost in a wall of noise, and the strings were almost inaudible unless solo. My sound meter was repeatedly showing 98dB, so if you were there too and had ringing ears afterwards, that's why. For a 2 hour gig, even with a break in the middle, this was dangerously loud. As for candlelight; the numerous battery powered candles on stage looked a bit like a certain area in an Ikea showroom. Coldplay's music has the power to move you, there was none of that, so we left at the interval. It seems others did too. For the surprisingly high price (I fell off my chair when my wife told me the price afterwards), am very disappointed and feel ripped off. Won't be attending a gig at this venue, or a Candlelight Concert ever again.
翻译:吉尔福德大教堂的酷玩乐队烛光音乐会。这座建筑令人印象深刻,我相信表演者本身就非常有能力,但这个场地不适合播放放大的流行音乐,表演的放大和混音效果非常糟糕。整个地方都是巨大的轰鸣声。墙壁上明显有鼓声回响。中音完全缺失;除了高音外,听不到人声,吉他独奏被淹没在噪音中,除非独奏,否则几乎听不见弦乐。我的音量计反复显示 98dB,所以如果你也在那里,并且在之后耳朵嗡嗡作响,那就是原因。对于一场 2 小时的演出来说,即使中间有休息,这个音量也非常大。至于烛光;舞台上无数的电池供电蜡烛看起来有点像宜家陈列室的某个区域。酷玩乐队的音乐有打动人心的力量,但没有这种感觉,所以我们在中场休息时就离开了。其他人似乎也一样。价格高得惊人(后来我妻子告诉我价格时我都从椅子上摔下来了),我非常失望,感觉被坑了。再也不会去这个场地看演出,也不会再去烛光音乐会了。
