I know this is highly dependent on the venue, but I've been hearing quite a few negative comments (not necessarily on this forum) about the sound quality on this tour not being up to par.
I've been seeing a trend of "too loud", "muddy", "couldn't tell what song they were playing", etc etc.
I've seen Dream Theater 3 times in the past and they've never been overly loud (in fact on ADTOE and Octavarium tour I thought they were lacking a bit of oomphf if anything), but I'm used to going to concerts like Mastodon and Pantera back in the day where you're still partially deaf 3 days after the concert
I'm curious as to what people's experiences around here have been as far as the tour so far? Are these complaints valid? Or do people just have unrealistic expectations of what a live metal concert is going to sound like?
