It’s hard to hear how bad , for example, Keith Richards’ guitar often sounds.. it’s a show…they make sure you hear Ronnie’s guitar but think it’s Keith…they know every trick in the book…it’s a performance in every sense of the word
Not picking on the Stones just using them as an extreme example to make the point that often what you think you see and hear at a rock concert isn’t exactly what you perceive… there is a lot of sleight of hand
