James Brown rocked thousands with barely 500 watts of sound, no subs and
no monitors - the skill of the performers on stage is equally important.
Great sound can make up for a lack of talent and crappy sound can rob
great talent - but the conversation between the artist and the listener
is paramount.

isn't it always about the sound .
the sound is the medium . the reason the artist created
and the reason the audience come to listen .
sound is the 'sense' we experience
All good events I have ever been to have good sound '
literally the sound system ' had a quality that created
and facilitated peoples ability to listen / communicate
