Metric

The band was amazing as expected, and their performance was tight. But... Whoever was in charge of their sound did a horrible job. As a Metric fan, I expected to be rocked by some powerful bass, and to be bathed in a full soundscape, but that bass was overpowering every other aspect of the instruments and vocals, and even the speakers themselves. They sounded as if they were blown. I am not the only one in the audience with this opinion. Several of us discussed this when they were briefly mitigating their technical issue. I got to meet James, Josh, and Joules after the show, and that was terrific. They were so fun to chat with. I wanted to tell them about the sound issue, but hesitated because I didn't want that one moment to be tainted by possibly insulting or annoying them. All in all, I am still grateful to have finally seen them live after being a fan for 15 years.
