Ballet Hispanico Chicago Theatre reviews
People must have low standards these days
Ballet Hispanico at Staples, I witnessed. Perhaps, in such a large venue, they may need to upgrade their PA equipment because they seemed lacking. The vocals appeared highly distorted. Distorted not in a trendy way but as if you cranked up your inexpensive boombox and the speakers couldn't handle the volume. The overall audio was just weak. Other acts I've seen at Staples within the past year, like Van Halen and Bob Seger, did not have insufficient PA equipment (although DLR's sound was awful).
At times, the band would become out of sync. They would be jamming and performing at a faster pace than the album, causing the drums-bass-vocals to fall out of sync. The show was decent but I would not recommend it at that price-- too brief, not loud enough, and poor audio quality. It's unfortunate that there are so few good rock bands nowadays.
