I can hear other instruments as well, like maybe an oboe. All she had was her voice & she overdubbed it a lot. That is what I like about her music, makes it stand out - but to think she was thinking of instrumentals, that is awesome.

They use all sorts of reasons- "health and safety" being the main one. Good to see that the head of the HSE (a Springsteen fan) has denounced that in this case after Live Nation used that excuse. If you live in a so-called "World City", then you have to expect a little "ruckus" of a Saturday night. Can't imagine what happened in London happening in other big cities anywhere else in the World. We stood at the back, close to one of the rear banks of speakers. It was not over-loud, but not quiet either and we found it excellent- you could actually hear the individual instruments and voices. I think they programme a time-delay to the sound depending on how far back each speaker set is so that you don't hear the different speakers all mixed up. It was the best sound I've experienced at a large (>20,000 attendees) gig- very clear, although not supremely loud. Jonathan On 17 Jul 2012, at 18:51, Rose M Joy wrote: > I don't blame it on England.

It was just pathetic the way they faded out two legends performing together for the first time ever.

The worst thing about it was that we're pretty sure Bruce would have played 10th Avenue Freeze Out as a tribute to the late Clarence "Big Man" Clemons (as he had at all other gigs on this tour). Disrespectful and mean. Bad karma, bad decision, just bad all round. Shame on the "jobsworths" in my country. >> >> Jonathan ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 00:25:17 -0400 From: jlhommedieu@insight.rr.com Subject: Favorites Favorite bass line: side 2 of Abbey Rd Favorite guitar solo: Comfortably Numb Favorite piano based album: FTR Beyond Categorization: California as joni and jt did it at the BBC Favorite sax solo: Jungleland Jim L. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1012 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
