Noted. I don't know the venue, so I can't say - but depending on how many people and instruments were onstage, it may be that amplification was needed to allow the musicians to hear each other clearly. The monitor mix can make or break a concert: if the musicians can't hear each other, the whole performance can go down the tubes. What was happening with the front of house (audience) mix and levels has no real connection to what the band was hearing onstage.
On occasion the musicians are the ones asking for the levels to be high. At one Over the Water festival concert one hurdy-gurdy player kept asking for more bass, for reverb, and for more volume overall, even though none of them was appropriate: the Fort Flagler theater is probably one of the most resonant performance spaces in the state of Washington. ;-) Alden > I have no complaints about the quality and balance of sound at this > concert, and in fact I was struck by how well it was done.
