[quote="connloyalist"]And on a similar note (and yes, this is a gripe ): Could someone please explain to me why many bands feel the need to be amplified when playing an indoor venue, even when it isn't cavernous? Something like a theater....

I've asked this very question since the early 70's when the Mahavishnu Orchestra appeared in Brooklyn College.

Give thanks that you didn't hear trumpet solo's coming from
