Lamb were good when I saw them in central park (though it was a very short
set). I'm also given to understand that underworld are good in open air shows,
though I've only seen them inside. Of course, both of these might be said to
have a certain amount of popular appeal in their music.
In fact, with the amount of ringing I hear these days when things are quiet,
I'd almost rather see acts outside. Some of the places where indoor shows I've
seen have been may have had good acoustics, but I can't really think of a
[non-classical, non flecktones] concert that used them all that effectively.
And most of them you can't see what's going on, either. Maybe I've just been
to the wrong shows.
