So a show at the Anthem and was appalled at the poor acoustics or sound engineering. The bass was so distorted that it sounded like there were shorts in speakers. The mixing on the vocals were too high. Is this normal for The Anthem or was this the band's inhouse engineer not knowing how to mix indoors vs outdoors.
Several times the band members were signaling hand gestures to their sound guy.

If your local benchmark is the 9:30 Club then The Anthem is a disappointment, also in this aspect.
