Nice, how did you like it? Saw them in St Louis a couple weeks ago as posted somewhere up on the page. They played well and put on a really energetic show, but our seats fucking sucked. Great view, but terrible sound. Couldn't hear a fucking thing the Arctic Monkeys played. Like, literally whoever did the sound was a fucking idiot and just didn't give a shit about anyone to the sides. Was just a constant stream of sound and I couldn't hear anything except noise. Literally sounded like super loud white noise or something. Was kinda pissed.
Keys had better sound, and the best was when they played a set with just the two of them. But where we were sucked a little bit of the enjoyment from it. Like the speakers hanging from the ceiling were just so fucking loud, pointed directly at us, and we were getting echo from the rest of the arena probably that by the time the Monkeys were done I could barely hear out of my left ear and there was just a constant stream of noise blending together. So when the Keys came on, I was half deaf already.
Kind of hate venues that turn the sound up SO FUCKING LOUD that you can't even hear the music. Like, there's loud and rocking the fuck out and cranking it to 11. And then there's just CRANKING IT TO 20 JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.
