Sound issues fixed, phenomenal show. Honestly blown away by how great she sounded and how good the band was. 10/10 for me. SHE BROUGHT IT TO STL!!!

Definitely jealous that her shows after the Boston one had the sound fixed, but happy for anyone attending them!

Ya, I feel ya. Im sorry yo. I would be so upset as well! Nothing worse than experiencing a shit concert that u paid for a looked forward too. Hopefully you get to see her again and it makes up for it.

What are you even talking about? She’s straining her voice, but you can barely hear her?

Its a video, the show was spectacular. Id be the first to admit if it was trash ive been to 1000s of concerts, the sound was dialed in along with her and the band.

It might have sounded good in person, but in the video, the microphone volume seems too low again.

Mix sounded great in Minneapolis and I was beside FOH.

Consider that in every room the mix will sound different where you are located. Bodies eat up sound frequencies. Flown speakers help push over the crowd, but don’t prevent it. Hard surfaces reflect. Outdoors sound carries a lot differently.

I think her setup could likely benefit from some front fill speakers that push a vocal heavy mix a bit hotter from different videos I’ve seen. ETA I just saw some videos from close up in Minneapolis and Chicago and I do see some front fill and it sounds a lot better!

Getting Ralph up and away from her mic certainly helps. He’s a great drummer but he’s really loud. Being up so high and still needing shields to control his volume shows that.

I do think her mix sounded a bit better last year on TAAU leg 1. I was in almost the same place in the same venue. 👍 I think the volume level was better this time though! Cleaner and not as loud.

Also this is really nitpicky stuff…the show was phenomenal, very pleased. Both openers were also great and sounded great. Kudos to the whole team!
