This show rocked! Great performance, Bowie sighting, plus THREE FREE DRINKS! Thank you Nokia! Now if only you could improve the shitty sound quality of your theater...

Well you obviously are just bitter because you weren't there. Had you been sharp enough to score a ticket, you would have realized that from the floor, the sound sucked.
Go complain about ticketmaster or some band selling out, jackmonkey.

The sound wasn't bad for the softer songs (like Transformer acoustic), but when they really rocked, it got lame.

The sound at Nokia is alright, but Cee-Lo! He hits those notes like a goat straight kicked in the balls. Gushing out of the mic like Niagra falls on a warm winters day. The man is neo soul with more heart than a cardilogists ever seen in the tin man's wet dream. If you want to hear more of my flow, Flue Armour featuring Cee-Lo.

It was a great show...

Check um out (the only problem with sound I thought was when Cee Lo was mumbling)...

Ouch. The sound was awful. Aparently the three free drinks were getting to peoples heads... You couldn't even hear Bowie clearly when he introduced them. I saw an MTV taping there with Death Cab and the sound was great, really crisp and well-mixed. This was the opposite. Cee-Lo's voice was mixed in equally with all the musicians, it barely rose above the din. And the back up singers were non existant.

I agree, the sound absolutely sucked, no low end whatsoever. It was full of mids and super muddy. I was right infront of the left speakers and could barely tell what Cee-Lo was taking about. It was even worse for the backup singers and string section.
