We were dead center of the pavilion just above the V.I.P. seats, where the acoustics should be perfect, and they were far from it!! Couldn't hardly seperate one instrument from another. Not having Butch Reynolds anymore on tour is definately an adjustment the band has not dealt with very well. Tim Reynolds is an amazing guitar player, but can't add that rich sound that Butch did so very well. I hope they hire another keyboardist soon!! It was hot and muggy, but the band did very well with the energy level they brought. It was not a very disappointing setlist, just one I would have not prefered. I can't help it if I like "Recently" so damn much!! Dave's newer songs just don't fit as well without a keyboardist, and while Tim can rock out on a few, they still need to address this problem. If anyone reading this, knows anyone at Nissan pavilion that has to do with the sound system, kick their ass!!!! With all the money they make off these bands, the least they can do is supply them with the best audio sound. I can't believe the band didn't notice it at sound check. I guess you don't have 30,000 drunkards screaming at those though!! Anyway, unless they upgrade the sound system at Nissan, I will never attend another show their. On my way to N.C. Charlotte and then Raleigh for two more shows. Hope the setlists get more original and the sound systems are better. I know for a fact Walnut Creek in Raleigh has one of the best sounds of any amphitheatre on the east coast!! Looking forward to it!!! Later, Ants..........
