My friend is a bigger U2 fan than I am and has gone to 3 seperate U2 concerts over the years. He says they give a really good show, but the one thing he is not impressed by is the amplification of Bono's voice. He says do they something to make him sound kind of like a chipmunk.
I didn't really know what to really say because I have never gone to a U2 concert before until Friday's concert. I have gone to many concerts over the years and saw quite a number of the big performers/bands (ie. Elton John, The Eagles, Phil Collins, etc). My review of U2's performance is very good. Lots of energy and the music sounded pretty good too. I listened very closely at how well the instruments are played. The Edge played the guitar great and Larry did an excellent job on the drums. I don't care how loud the music is, I can't stand it if it sounds distorted.
In this case, the sound was pretty clear but it was a bit too loud because its really not good when you come out and your ears are ringing and can't hear very well.
However, I did notice what my friend was talking about. They did something to the amplification of Bono's voice and on some songs it sounds weird and doesn't sound the same like on their music CD's and DVD's. I wouldn't say he sounds like a chipmunk, but it doesn't sound good in my opinion. What do you people think of the quality of music performance for vocals and instruments ?
