I enjoy live music though I have been to far fewer concerts than I would have liked.
Years ago they built a new sports complex at one of the universities in Iowa. It was supposed to be the next great thing in that it had a dome over it...not a bad plan in that neck of the woods. First husband and I went to a Marshall Tucker concert there, it was the first concert they held in that arena...that was his kind of music though I liked it well enough. I don't recall who was the opening act. Anyway...the sound was absolutely awful unless you were right in front of the stage. There was too much space for the music to fill. The acoustics were horrible with the music dissipating and fading off. It was disappointing.
My hearing is such now that I can't really be too fussy with what media is used. Several years ago I bought a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort over the ear headphones. With sound feeding right into my ears through quality headphones I am able to hear things in songs I have been missing for years.
I loved albums and 45s, owned a reel-to-reel for a time, dealt with 8-tracks, went through the love/hate with cassettes, and am pretty content with CDs. As I said, my hearing is such that I can't blame the delivery system.
