That's been an irritant for me for quite awhile. I don't quite understand why they don't pump up the house volume - the musicians have their own monitors, so it wouldn't affect what they hear anyway, even if Gord doesn't want it too loud.
I recall at the November 2006 Massey Hall show looking at the sound system and remarking how small it seemed compared to most concerts I've been to. I'm not sure whether they're trying to cut costs or don't realize the system isn't adequate for the room, but it was again too quiet.
A refreshing difference was when I saw Gord at Niagara's Fallsview Casino ... I think they have their own system there and the soundman made sure Gord was cranked up nice and listenable. Just the way we like it.
