Re: OT: New Orleans Jazz Fest Artist announced

Caught a bit last night on AXS-TV. Tab Benoit was layin' it down. Unfortunately I had to go to sleep before Robert Plant was on.
Side question (possibly specifically about AXS-TV) regarding "the sound" on AXS-TV. First, I love the network and their committment to at least make an effort to put Live Music on TV. However, After watching a bit of their Cochella & Stagecoach festival coverage (had a hard time stomaching much of either of those two) and what I saw last night of NOJF, made me wonder what they're doing with the sound feed. If I had to guess, it's a close-mic'd board feed to the TV. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great. Clean. Pristine. However, I'm not getting ANY crowd or ambient noise AT ALL with what I'm hearing. The performances could be "live in the studio" as opposed to "on stage". I miss the audience! Anyone else noticing this? Agree? Disagree?
Peace,
Mr DJA
