I went to see Radiohead in concert last night. Something leapt out straight at me about it. ANY time i have seen U2 live (going back to every tour since UF) I have been left dissapointed at the quality of the sound mix. Yet Radiohead last night was lush. You could clearly define every instrument. Pick out the detail of Hi hats and symbols and the more intricate background sounds.
Same goes with Cds. I have always felt that the sound quality of U2s studio recordings were very poor, and again, compare Radioheads Cds to them, they are light years ahead in terms of sound. Radioheads recordings sound alive, 3 dimensional and vibrant whereas U2s sound dull...flat and lifeless.
SACK THE SOUNDMAN!!
