An artist as creative as Vile deserves to have his lyrics heard . The sound was mixed so poorly that his lyrics were not discernable . The bass drum drowned everything out , except for the three solo numbers Vile did . I was right near the mixing board , why these guys set this up and made no adjustments as the show progressed , is beyond me ! The sound for the opening act , Julia Shapiro was even worse . I had no clue what she was singing about .
