Portland Cello Project Eugene Concert reviews
Great Show but could have sounded much better!
The sound at this show and many others is my problem anymore, particularly the LOW END. There is way too much power down there, covering up a lot of the finer things like the VOCALS.
The vocals on many of the upbeat pounding songs could not be heard or understood. If you didn't know the words to some songs, you surely would not know them afterwards.
I've been to lots & lots of shows at outdoor venues and First Niagara is a great venue to watch & hear a great show. This show looked fantastic without being too over the top with effects.
The acoustic set in the middle of the show was fantastic and still very powerful. If they would have taken that model and pumped it up a little with all the extra stuff in the mix, it could have been perfect.
I play music for a living, and believe me, I get wanting to be powerful and in the moment so I'm no prude when it comes to volume. But when there is that much pound and sheer force coming at you, it can get very fatiguing to your ears.
Portland Cello Project are just too Damn good to cover up their killer vocals with that much low end!
