In Reply to: RE: Lifeless concerts - are digital amps killing live music? posted by Kiepu on June 09, 2016 at 10:10:23
Your mistake is that you spent money to see a folk singer in an arena. This type of music is best experienced in an intimate environment, e.g. club and small venue. Much of the performance will not be conveyed in an arena regardless of the PA system used.
BTW, I have not found any difference in my enjoyment of a live concert regardless of the amplification used, as long as quality electronics are used. The venue's acoustics, my seat and the skill of the FOH engineer are more important.

In his defense he did say small be yes suffered from the same issue too. Of course if he goes real small nothing is amplified. Nobody is that good in those tiny venues though. I haven't noticed the issue either myself.ET

I can't help but be real curious, what did you mean by that?

I guess there was a typo so I edited it. I meant that in the very small unamplified venues the talent level is much lower. Seeing as how he saw a top level act at a huge venue hed likely not care for the unknowns at a very small venue. He being the OPET

Neil Young has been known to show up on winter evenings at "Applejacks" in La Honda, CA and play for the locals. Should he be classified as a "No Talent"?

No one in a million or billion would be more accurate. Get it now smart guy? I guess you missed where I said tiny AND unamplified. That goes for any instrument including acoustic guitar AND vocals.

Applejacks is tiny and Neil was definitely unamplified.

John Lennon showed up and played at 'John's at the Beach' in Ventura Ca (a small club I used to perform at) back in the early 70's when he was hanging (hiding) up in Ojai Ca.One night while Jim Berryhill and I were playing at John's, Hal Wagenet (It's a Beautiful Day) asked if he could play during our break.
We never made it back to the stage. Hal was magical. After closing time we partied all night at the bartenders house in the Ventura Keys.
