I was in Chicago last weekend and saw BHT&TM's at the House of Blues. It was my first time at that venue and was excited to check it out. Unfortunately I was disappointed, not with the band who put on a great show, but with the mix. For such a small venue I thought it was terrible. I was straight back from the stage behind the mixer. I thought it was my hearing but as I moved from my seat to the main floor as well as the balcony, it didn't improve. In particular, the keyboard and slide player might as well have been unplugged because you could rarely hear him. Even when Todd talked between songs, I couldn't understand most of what he said. Cool place, great band but someone needs to so a sound check. As I left and went downstairs I popped in on the trio playing in the bar. Perfect mix. I could hear every instrument distinctly. I had a great time none the less. Todd rocked it.
