Has anybody noticed that most rock bands these days (local cover bands) are
or at least seem to be carrying around about $30,000.00 worth of PA gear?
It seems to be the rule here (Maine, and in general the New England region)
I don't understand how they can afford it and what the need for a system that
could carry a small stadium is. As a result of this available power many of 
these bands tend to be a bit loud, not that they aren't good, just too loud.
When I got out of being an active muscian last year our band had nearly $10K
invested and it was woefully inadequate when compared with what the competition
was dragging around. Is this the rule everywhere nowadays?
