[QUOTE="Jake Scudder, post: 18916, member: 195"] Re: In NY through Feb 18th - any shows worth catching **Disclaimer - I am one of the many who owe my career to Abe Jacob. I may be a little biased. I probably won't end up seeing it at the Brooks. I did sit in with JvB (who did a great job and was clearly having too much fun) when they were still at the Neil Simon. I think Abe did a fantastic job. First off, he surrounded himself with the best in the business as only he can and had more research and prediction than many permanent installs get. The rig was clean and plenty loud without creating fatigue. The transitions from early "Ed Sullivan" to the stadium shows, to the later richer sound of the studio albums was spot on. I saw the original company on a Saturday night with a great house. It was a really good time. My only minor complaint of the whole night is that I felt the keys were a little hot in some of the first act tunes. I think this was due to the "keys fill" being a little too loud in the under-balcony speakers. [/QUOTE]
