Last summer we played to a crowd across a river.. we we on one side and the crowd on the other.. there was enough room for two boats to pass in the river in front of us..

We sent one of the band memebers with a wireless mic to the other side to help with the sound check... We asked if it was too loud... our guy said that if it was too loud the people were too old... (he is the local grocery store owner and a lot of his customers were old).. some of the people were not happy hearing his response on the PA.

When we we playing, everytime a boat would pass the sound would bounce back to the stage and go dead and flat... What a nightmare to control..good gig... weird place to play

Playing to old people suck! maybe if they were drunk it would have been fun....lol
