Wow, wimpy concert noise.
I do now recall a really annoying sound system problem at a Yes concert back around 1991. It was in an amphitheater in NC, and for those of us way back in the lawn, the sound system was not synced up properly. What I mean is that the sound would be played simultaneously through all the speakers, so that my friend and I would hear the lawn speakers first, as they were only 50 feet or so away. Then we would hear the same noise from the stage speakers a couple of hundred feet away.
They opened with "Yours Is No Disgrace", which accentuated the echo:
bompBomp, baBabaBa bompBomp
bompBomp, baBabaBa bompBomp
instead of
Bomp, BaBa Bomp
Bomp, BaBa Bomp
etc.
It took about 5-10 really annoying minutes for someone to realize this and delay the lawn speakers appropriately. After that, great sound, great musicianship, great concert.
