BOC: BOC in SLC

        After hearing this, I have decided not to go see them until
        his voice is back in shape.  Last summer I forked out $25 bucks
        to see BOC at a "Classic Rock Fest".  They played 5 songs total.
        I can't see myself paying for anymore subpar performances.

        ...which reminds me, I saw them last winter ina club and they
        blew the horns on the clubs PA so all you heard were lows and mids.
        It didn't seem to bother them though, they just kept on playing.
        I know it's considered professional to not let equipment problems
        affect your performance, but they were not delivering a quality
        product to the fans that paid to see them that night.
