based on a quick skim of the liz phair forum, i would say the low mic was a frequent complaint...
i enjoyed the lovefool cover thought it was done in fun. i dunno about liz phair seemed like an average performer and the songs off the new record stand out as pretty medicore.
went in seeing the cardigans with lower expectations then before, and came away pleased. liked the new moodier songs, which will fit nicely with an expanded headlining spot.
