Title: Were they in Maison Mere often skipping the soundcheck ?

The sound of the lead-guitar was also bad when they performed in the Estadio da Cidadela in Luanda back in 2000.

I think for this concert, there was a Mixing issue. No sure if the people who attended the concert heard what we all are hearing for the concert.

You went late.

I was not there but videos of sound test and final practice showed that the test was done earlier.

Werrason was always late to everything rehearsals, sound check etc.

This is the only concert that had a decent sound
