The last concert I was at was Pink Floyd's Division bell tour. I used to get excited about this stuff. ROFL

Really an amazing show. You got to hand it to a guy who is touring at 70 years old and singing night after night and traveling.

The production as always was top notch and the loudspeakers of choice were L- Acoustic K1's, K2's boxes all the way around.

There was L-Acoustic subs hung as well at FOH. It appeared to me subs were on the floor across the front of the entire stage

as well. My wife and I were in the United Center in Chicago and this is a big venue maybe 25,000 seats.

I was up in the 3rd deck stage left and I could look down on the band. I actually liked the seats being able to see over the band.

There was a hang of smaller L-Acoustic boxes right in front of me for coverage to our area. The sound was reall dam good

and wow have they come a long ways on sound in stadiums compared to years ago. I could really tell how well controlled

the low end was from this system when I went out to the bathrooms and beer stand. The bass was almost servo feedback

sounding in control.

The mix was GUITAR and everything else was well under it. Also, Davids voice was right out there. I admired the

accuracy of this loudspeaker system and I also appreciated a kick drum and drums that sounded natural. This was not

a bloated smiley faced click kick sound. Also, the BE started the system at a nice volume and SLOWLY took the gain

up as the night went on. My ears were not ringing and I felt no need for ear plugs. Hats off to a great BE for David Gilmour.

My wife made an interesting comment about the line arrays. She said she really like them compared the other type

of cabinets and thought they were quite elegant looking. Elegant line arrays. I never heard that point of view.

Three quarters of the way back in the room were three hangs, one center, and one on each side of it pointing to the upper

decks. I have attached some pics of the system. One pic was from Toronto but with the same setup.

I have to say the L-Acoustic boxes are some amazing sounding loudspeakers.

Pics are attached.
