Default Re: Fort Pierce

I noticed years ago that some places just didn't have great sound and others did. In the Ct area, Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, where Gord often played back in the 70's and 80's, had this nice revolving center stage, but had a so so sound system. It was fine for a solo performance, but when you added in the band, it would get a bit mushy sounding. They rebuilt the place in the 90's and unfortunately, Gordon has never been back since the rebuild. The other unfortunate part is, I think they used the same sound system, as it has the same problem as the old one did. They also got rid of the revolving stage. I would think one of these days he would get to play there again. The new management is slacking. Even a little mushy is better than nothing.
Seeing the layout and equipment that Ft. Pierce has, I can see why they sounded as good as they could. Thanks for the link jj.
