From first hand experience yup. And nope to the second part about being bored with life, if anything that's probably the old dudes complaining about it.

So you became a Football Fan to watch TS?
Nope, played from 7 to 17 yrs old and grew up with NFL and college season tickets. Still hold 4 college season tickets.

Gotta commend him on doing his research before answering. Shoots from the hip hits his own foot.That clip is in my original post that started this thread
Just jumping in here rather than starting a new (likely very similar) thread with a recent experience from a live concert and my "view" of the sound....
I know the venue well. Utterly superb acoustics. Everything from full orchestra classical to all but solo performance. Music was from the 80's, 90's and 2000's
So, what was the sound engineer thinking when "we" can't hear the lyrics over the erm... "over projected" (read - deafening) bass?
And that theme continued with some clearly exquisite and highly technical piano/guitar/keyboard/sax being "lost" behind a colossal wall of background sound.
Maybe I'm just too used to be able to hear the "music" with the individual instruments merged and balanced to produce a beautiful experience?
Sort of puts me off going "live" which is a criminal shame.

Sounds like he was a DJ and not an engineer. I was just at an awesome Praise Fest with 8 bands. The best one was last and had 4 female singers. I could not hear a word but the band was great.

I hear too much live music that's mixed poorly, with too much reverb and too much bass which muddies the sound, too loud for the room, etc. I find that jazz music is more consistently presented, with more attention to detail as far as the sound quality. With certain kinds of music and certain artists, I would agree that listening to recordings can be more rewarding than live. In a way there's nothing wrong with that and the idea that a recording could be the best way to experience something makes it feel all the more worthwhile to have a really fine, well tuned audio system.
Good sound engineers can make all the difference in the world, transforming a barely tolerable experience into a truly positive one.
Once of the best concerts I ever saw was Marshall Tucker when they were first getting famous- that band could JAM !

I saw them with the Charlie Daniels Band where they jammed together for over an hour. That was 4 songs.

He had a great guitar tone too.
It is generally attributed to Mozart...
