Rating: 4 out of 5Band....good. Sound mixing...bad.
by jingleguy on 2010-02-18Club Regent Casino - WinnipegHey, it was Air Supply in an intimate setting...so right away it's worth the ticket price. But what would have made it truly magical would have been being able to hear Russell's voice over the guitar and piano. Graham's voice was clear enough...Russell was a distant background melody singing from inside a duffel bag.
Forget that I'm listening as a full-time professional recording musician...just common sense for any sound technician would be: if you can't hear the lyrics and melody clearly, neither can the rest of the audience. Russell's voice is phenomenal. Having it barely discernible above the overbearing midrange instruments was almost a "can we all have our money back please" offense.
The big "I'm All Out Of Love" show-closer bombed as the singers' earpiece-monitors dropped out, leaving them singing out of time with each other and off-key.
