点评:For such a well reviewed venue, consider me surprised in the worst way possible. Saw Nick Hakim perform here. The last thing anyone wants to see at a performance of this caliber, is to have a talented performer diminished by a shoddy sound system, poor sound engineers, muddy reverberation and levels, and microphones set so low that the vocalist is inaudible. Several times the lighting crew had, for some indescribable reasons, directed the lighting straight into the performer's eyes. When the artist pleads multiple times with a lighting crew "Please", "It's too bright", "I can't see", etc. and then the artist goes so far as to pull a hood over his face so he can finish his performance... it reeks of incompetence. When the artist cuts his set short due to the problems, It smacks of amateurism. When your own attendees have to instruct and shout at the sound guys, it's time to do some self examination. This was a concert that was originally scheduled for the Doug Fir Lounge. A far superior venue. My advice for those whose concerts get moved from Doug Fir to this venue, is simple. Request a refund. Fire your sound people. Fire your lighting crew. Overhaul your staff. Better yet, find a bulldozer and put this sorry venue out of its misery.
翻译:对于这样一个受到好评的场地,请考虑我以最糟糕的方式感到惊讶。在这里看过 Nick Hakim 的表演。在这种水准的表演中,任何人最不想看到的就是让一位才华横溢的表演者被劣质音响系统、糟糕的音响工程师、浑浊的混响和电平以及麦克风设置得太低以致于听不见歌手的声音所削弱。有好几次,灯光师出于某种难以形容的原因,将灯光直射到表演者的眼睛里。当艺人多次向灯光组恳求“请”、“太亮了”、“我看不见”等,然后艺人甚至拉上头巾遮住脸完成他的表演性能……它散发着无能的味道。当艺术家由于问题而缩短他的布景时,它带有业余主义的味道。当您自己的与会者不得不对音响人员进行指导和大喊大叫时,是时候进行一些自我检查了。这是一场原定在花旗松酒廊举办的音乐会。一个优越得多的场地。对于那些将音乐会从花旗松搬到这个场地的人,我的建议很简单。要求退款。解雇你的声音人。解雇你的照明人员。彻底改造你的员工。更好的是,找到一台推土机,让这个令人遗憾的地方摆脱困境。
