I went to the Reno show on the 15th, and I agree that it could have been louder, but there were also songs on which it seemed that GL was a bit too far away from the microphone for the decibel level of his voice. The danger of turning up the mic though is feedback, so I suppose another possibility is to steal a page from JJ Cale and sing softly but eat the mic. All in all I loved the concert (except that it was too short!), and I know all the words to his songs anyway, but my wife (who wasn't a fan before but is now) complained that it was difficult on several songs to make out the lyrics.
