I was looking forward to Hot Chip for my Fox Theater deflowering. I got loge tickets. The seats in that area are large and set in pairs with cocktail tables in between. The rows are far apart, so there's plenty of legroom. Of course the renovated Fox is jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
The youtube videos of the opener, Yacht, were enticing, but the sound was unpleasantly muddy.
I hoped this would only be a problem for them, but the larger number of instruments in Hot Chip just made the sound worse. The vocals were too prominent and disasterously out of tune at the beginning, and the sound was even more muddy. There was a weird emphasis on the center frequencies. We left early, and werent alone in doing so.
