In a bar setting of an american style party The speakers of a live band is so loud that make you wonder whether musician all have ear damages of some sort Musical vocal could hardly be heard but the conversation vocals are equally loud trying to compete with drum beats and heavy bass yet unsuccessfully and non-coherently I just had to look across the room over a table or two to focus myself on the NFL playoff soundlessly kind of washout for both games hardly exciting to watch compared to any of the BCS bowl games in the past few weeks where at least I could hear something from the broadcast and my own cheering vocal
