Live and recorded sound has gone down the crapper.  It really seems it's becoming a lost art mixing sound for shows in anything
bigger than a bar these days.  There's a few bands that have the talent behind the desk to pull it off though.  The AC/DC show I saw
a couple years ago at the normally horrible sounding LA Forum was among the best sounding, not to mention loudest shows I've heard
in any sized venue in over a decade.
