Into The Woods Fairfax reviews
Way too Loud and Poor Sound Quality
Aaron Lewis was the only performance that I could barely understand. The bass, lead guitar, and drums were turned up way too high during Into The Woods's set. You could barely understand a word they sang. Even when he talked without any instrument in the background, you could barely understand what was saying. There had to have been a reverb or some effect on the microphone, because it made the lyrics and dialog with the audience unrecognizable. It was definitely not because of the venue. Many other concerts at that venue have seen with no problem.
