kitch29	Symphony Hall No better venue for large forces, especially orchestra and chorus except maybe the Concertegebouw.

The Philharmonie in Berlin ain't all that bad.

Sound is unbelievable, even up in the cheap seats where Ivan can afford to be.

First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass

kitch29	All Berliners have to do is buy a ticket? I like the flying sound panels. You should post the pic on Tweakers Asylum; they'll tell you if they're facing in the right direction.
