How about a peacock wearing stereo headphones. Last night was the first
stereo Tonight Show broadcast. It was done quite well. The band sounds
better in stereo. The audience applause can be irritating in stereo -
especially when there are a lot of hoots and whistles. The David Letterman
stereo broadcast had inconsistent sound quality. It seemed as if the
technicians were still trying to figure out how to use the stereo system.
More than once the sound of David Letterman's voice seemed to shift from
side to side for no apparent reason.
