Hate to say it, but Testament's sound was as bad as I ever remember -- not the guys fault, the distortion from the speakers was so bad I swear it took halfway through each song to figure out what was being played.
I got up close, got far away, but really nothing helped. I would have preferred much less volume if it could have cleaned up the sound. Someone was obviously trying to adjust the mix during the whole show. One thing was clear enough, though -- Chuck! His growling was just as good as I remember. Made it a great show nonetheless.
On stage do they have an idea of how it sounds in the crowd -- do their monitors pick this up, or are they separate?
Also, later in line for beer, I asked Jack about the Vegas show -- he really didn't say Exodus wasn't gonna play, but also didn't say they would. Schedule problem, I think.
