Great short article and touring background for Rush

Eh, I guess it will do in a pinch...

I wonder what Karyn would sound like issuing a directive through a 360kW rig...

Man, that would put even the latest version of NagBap to shame.

That's not 'sound re-inforcement' that's sonic warfare!

I'm thinking that 40' by 20' screen might be just about right for a cozy home theater setup. At 80KW power consumption, though, I might need to install a new service transformer.

The most impressive factoid in the piece: it only takes them 60-90 minutes to break down. For most bands, it takes that long just to pull the drummer away from chatting up the barmaid.

I never even heard of a 20,000 watt amp - for audio. That blew me away. 360 Kw for audio.

Are you kidding?  I think some of the idiots that drive around So. Cal. with humongous subwoofers have that much in their car!

I saw them play at the United Center in Chicago a few years ago and I was impressed by the quality of the mix.  It was loud, but not oppressive  There were no piercing highs making people bleed from their ears courtesy of a burned out engineer with severe hearing loss.  There was a great deal of artistry in the sound engineering, not just killer equipment.

(Although, killer equipment does help.  Especially if you're a killer.  But, that's off-topic, I guess.)
