Live shows are a tricky beast.  On one hand, fans have come to expect a specific sound based on studio recordings, created in a confined establishment with no outside interference, and the ability to correct and re-correct an infinite amount of times.  On the other hand, if a band plays their songs exactly as recorded, they are criticized for not bringing anything new to their stage performance.  What many people don’t consider is the third variable: differing sound from venue to venue.  TV on the Radio is a very talented band – there’s no question about that; but on May 30th, performing at the historic Burton Cummings theatre in Winnipeg, that third variable came into play – and not in a good way.
