Burdened with murky sound for a band that has fairly high audio needs, Thursday’s show was mostly studied, intellectual tension.I have seen several concerts at Town Hall with not-so-hot sound, including The Magnetic Fields (described here) and a Peter Rowan spectacular a number of years ago.
I think that it varies a lot depending on where you are sitting -- although I have trouble believing that the New York Times' critic got a bad seat -- but it is pretty surprising that they haven't either figured out a way to do the sound better or else renovated the venue appropriately.
