Prairie View Gospel Barn

Probably the BEST SG concert I've ever attended except for one thing - the track music volume was so high it overdrove the speakers. There's just no excuse for that - especially for the entire concert. There were times when I couldn't make out the lyrics bass rumble! I remember when Ben Spear used to do sound at NQC when it was in Nashville - tracks were used but always kept in the background; the lyrics were always up front - in fact, featured - easily heard and understood. When NQC moved to Louisville, after a few years sound professional's were contracted. UP went the volume! 30 minutes listening and I had to leave the auditorium because my ears hurt! I understand the desire to use sound tracks and, when not allowed to override the lyrics, they add to the performance. Sound people - remember that SG audiences tend to be older people! Older people don't like LOUD! And how is SG enhanced - in deed how is God glorified - if the lyrics are buried by tracks? Bill Raine, Fairmont, MN.
