After many weeks of anticipation, I finally headed out the to Dean Dome
last night to see Bruce Sprintsteen.  I had seen Bruce many times over
the years at places like the Tower Theater in Philly, the Spectrum in
Philly, and the Cap Center in Washington.  I also had heard many good
things about the Dean Dome facility so I jumped at the opportunity to
see Bruce in one of the "smaller" venues.

Boy, was I dissapointed.  Don't get me wrong, the show was classic
Springsteen with all the crowd antics, improv, etc.  The problem was
the sound, it was dreadful.  It was impossible to understand any word
he said, let alone the words to any song (even though I know most of
them).  The sound was extremely muddy, with no high-end; standing waves
everywhere.  I sat, looking out from the stage, right-center about a
third of the way up the second deck (not great seats but nowhere near
the fringes).

What's the story?  Did anyone else experience the same noise?  Is this
just a Springsteen phenomenon or is it typical of the sound quality at
the Dean Dome?
