Lolla Vs Roo Sound

Lolla was my first festival last year and I wouldn't have rather been anywhere, but the sound at ROO seemed head and shoulders above that at LOLLA. I was 2 rows behind the pit at ROO, whereas at LOLLA, I was right behind and to the left of soundboard. Surely my location didn't have that much bearing on the sound. In addition- every band that played on the main stage sounded great. Anyone else notice better sound at ROO??

    Pearl Jam's set at Lolla had the worst sound of any concert I've ever been to. there was something wrong with Mike's amplifiers the entire night. It's cleaned up a little on the iTunes bootleg but it still sounds pretty bad. I'm sure that about 80% of the crowd didn't even notice though.

    Concur. Mike's guitar sounded like crap the whole night, but you can't really tell from the iTunes boot.
