The mix sucked entirely. It was all guitar, and when he'd drop
out (often) there was nothing else going on to cover. He's
pretty fast with a few licks, but he has no sense of melody on
guitar - which amazes me, because he obviously does with
everything else. I just don't like that <fast lick/noise/fast
lick/atonal crap/fast lick/bad note/more noise> style of playing.

That's my feeling exactly but I liked his prince shaped guitar. I was hoping
he would give them away to the crowd. ;-)

There's no excuse for that man. It was just ....well, stupid engineering.
You don't have to set the autotune so harsh - Joel is capable of singing it,
and I think most people would rather hear a note or two drift around rather
than listen to a vocoder - for the national anthem, p l e a s e.
And, that is what made me appreciate Prince's performance (guitar mix and
all) more - was the fact that I could tell it was the real deal with no
lame-ass crap a là Mr Joel. Purple Rain - *in* the rain??? C'mon, you gotta
love that.....
