So, don't hold back... did you like it???
I, too, love the great outdoor venues, like the Hollywood Bowl and the old Greek Theater, which probably do not have bad seats (or at least they did not before DSP...). I have also seen/heard it before where it seemed like the mic's positioning and/or directivity made the dub work better than live.
My own most recent experience with the live vs. broadcast, I was in the audience for the Lithuanian Chorale, annoyed with the damned DSP, etc., blaring out over my head, and then later the same evening I heard a re-broadcast of the same performance (it had also been broadcast live), and it was like a different performance! By that I mean that not only did it sound "better", but the singing was altogether more coherent, cohesive and charming, while the performers had sounded tired and bored to me during the same damned performance, live! And in this case, we only had a cheap indoor antenna in an area known for lots of ghosting.
No substitute for selection, however, IMO. The ability to be able to get nothing but exactly what you want to the amp is golden!
(BTW, do you know Don Scott?)
