Metallica were quoted as saying they could hardly hear what was going on on stage
Previous events were reported to have rubbish sound back then as well
Also forget it taking all week to rig.... |

Not certain about the Vitavox design - I only came up close to them once in the early seventies when a band I was with shared a rehearsal studio with Geordie (Brian Johnson of AC/DC fame was vocalist) and they were using on their end them as side monitors with Vitavox multicell horns on top. The Vitavox bins IIRC were much more angular (if that makes sense) - mind you, Vitavox made copies of various bins loaded with their drivers and then settled on the Thunderbolt system. The original Finsbury Park Rainbow house system used similar bins (3 per side - two for the stalls, one over the proscenium) when they first opened. http://website.lineone.net/%7Eempson/Systems.html - http://website.lineone.net/~empson/Systems.html ------------- For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants. |

The 'Black Night' on that link looks interesting, anyone seen or hear anything about them? ------------- It's all about the music & the vibe, so enjoy it while you can. |

They do look quite 'modern' in comparison don't they?
