We went to the Charlie Daniels concert at the Sharon, the sound was so bad I almost left. The last song, The Devil went down to Georgia, was so bad that I know the words, and could not understand Mr. Daniels. I sent several letters of complaint to the Sharon. I did get a reply, which if I remember correctly, each group uses their OWN sound people and equipment. We boycotted the Sharon until Illuminati was there. Went to that show, and the sound was very good, as was the show.
IMHO, the VILLAGE management of these venues needs to be present at rehearsals and to suggest/demand the appropriate volume levels. If necessary, they should be at the actual shows, with the authority to lower the volume levels if above an agreed to limit, JMHO.
