Could be better…
by Ye Ole Rastaman on 5/7/25Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleRating: 4 out of 5I’ve seen the Wailers several times over the years. This most recent version of the classic reggae band, needs some improvement. I don’t know who the board operator was, whether he was an in-house individual who just didn’t care to find tune, or if he was with the band, and is playing politics to the air of the bass player, who was the last living member of the original band. The Bass guitar level was way and I do mean way too high. It forced my lady and I to give up prime seating on the floor and move to the balcony to get away from what was literally a physically exhaustive environment. If this information reaches the band, I don’t wish any harm to anyone, I just wish they would level the sound so that it’s more in tune with the original levels which were not excessively base driven. Changing subjects, the venue was absolutely perfect. We did enjoy ourselves, but again it could have been better. If the levels on the different instruments had been more in tune with the sound that originated reggae. I wish The Wailers good luck in the future… Signed the old Rastaman.
