I go to concerts to listen to the artists, and the Impressions concert ticked all the boxes, what with great harmonies, stage craft, sympathetic band and superb sound set up. Whilst I admire George, the concert will likely be an assault on my delicate senses. I don't dance, shout out, sing along, wave my hands in the air, blow whistles or like to hear artists drowned out by the audience. Just me, I guess....you can tell when I'm really happy 'cos I don't move an inch, just concentrate on what I'm hearing and seeing. Makes me a crushing bore for many, not their cup of tea at all!
I was hugely disappointed at the Whispers concert at the O2 with the sound set up. The Whispers and their band were not at fault; they are superb. However, where I was sat, left of centre in the balcony, all I heard was distortion to the max. Friends sat elsewhere said it sounded great, so maybe I was especially unlucky where I sat. The Indigo brags about its sound so I was unlucky that night perhaps.
Irma or Bettye? Or both? I am especially interested in hearing what Bettye's playlist is likely to be. I am a long time fan, love what she does, and appreciate her work over the years. I am less likely to go to a pure rendition of the Interpretations album. Just sayin..
