	I've been to one gig where that was more or less how the mix was 
and it isn't necessarily what you'd want. For a start, it hurt to stand 
anywhere near his amp, and for a continuation, I couldn't hear Simon's 
violin. Actually, when one got as far left as one could, one found that 
Simon's violin was largely coming out as white noise but at least over 
there there was something like balance. This was Cambridge, and I was 
rather annoyed not to be able to enjoy it. Just saying, there can be too 
much Brock (and if my experience didn't show this, I'd just cite 
_Earthed to the Ground_...) Yours,
				   Jon
