Grammy show

I don't understand why people sound so horrible live. I have seen my dad perform literally thousands of time, and I cannot think of one time when he was off pitch during or at the start of a song. They start off the night with the Black Eyed Peas and it sounded awful. Actually, the whole opening routine was mixed horribly. With the exception of

Crappy TV production

[hkd187]

Ive been aggrevated by award show sound for a few years now. Seems like prior to 2000 it was more like a real concert but now its like we're hearing a bad board mix with no ambience most of the time and its really apparent that the artists often cant hear themselves. I remember aerosmith performing at the oscars possibly, and tehy were good but Steven Tyler was constantly motioning at the monitor engineer to turn his in-ears up. Saw puff daddy and Jimmy page on SNL and Puff daddy (not to say hes a great vocalist anyway) actually said into the mic several times turn my sh*t up man! So he just screamed all his words so he could hear. I dont know who or why the ball got dropped on TV music production but it needs to be picked up. The only GREAT tv performance ive seen at an award show in a long time was Metallica with orchestra playing on top of a hotel in vegas. It was pre-recorded though and played back for the show so it was actually mixed by a human and not a union chimp sitting on a cheeto bag at NBC.

I thought the turn it up stuff was part of his lyrics in the song. Didn't he alo say that in the album release?
