Default Dave Matthews Live Sound

On another thread (Eq and UST), I think Gary brought up Dave Matthews Live Sound.

Without getting into if people hate him or not, why do you think he runs such a bare bones set up?

I have seen him many, many times, so I do know the sound quite well.

Do you think it is purely the fact that he has to play very loud? I know when he is acoustic, solo or with Reynolds, he is also just plugged in to a Matrix system.

Can anyone shed light on his set up, and why he has not gone for a better sound?


And, like I have said before...the UST sound, in my opinion, has become something of its own. Truth be told, only us players are the ones that agonize over sound. I mean, 150,000 people in Central Park - not one complained that Dave's guitar was QUACKY.
