Well there was almost no one in class today, mostly due to a strong case of the ACL's or whatever other name you have for it.  In class we watched some live performances that were okay at best.  Some of the things I didn't like how you wouldn't be able to understand what they were singing about because everything else sort of drowned out, often times the singer's voice, though this was probably more of a problem of watching it through the internet instead of being there where I imagine the sound quality and clarity was better.  There were some good shows where everything was way more toned down which was a welcome change coming from shows where it was many sounds clashing and instead only had a few instruments that were played right so there was no need for 5 other sounds.
