    Before you slag Bobby folks, he was losing his hearing at this stage and probably experiencing the first signs of dementia, it must be terrifying for a full time musician to realize they can't play anymore, but he kept going because music is his soul and it's all he knows how to do. Best to Bobby one of the greatest singers ever.

    After watching and listening to this video, I agree with all of you that it sounds like shit. However, I need to tell you that in my "In-Ear Monitors", there was so little sound from the Band, and my Microphone sounded like it was not even turned on. I couldn't hear one word I was trying to sing there. It felt like I was screaming into a pillow with no sound from the Microphone in my Monitors. I'm going to click on the "Thumbs-Down" button too. Anytime my Monitors are this terrible, I won't do the Concert. I didn't enjoy not being able to hear my Mic. on this Concert. I'm with you all about this crap.

      ***** - No matter how good a band are, if you have a bad sound engineer/monitor engineer, you're going to sound crap - we've all been there and it's very frustrating. We know what you can do so ignore the haters.
      As we get older, our voices get lower unless one does some serious vocal warm-ups/proven exercises - the raw talent is obviously there, however maybe you need some vocal coaching to prevent bad habits which have built up of the years. Even the oldest and best sounding sax needs an overhaul occasionally. :-)

He did so muc h work on my Vocal Cords, and then we checked out the best Vocal Warm-Up details I've ever seen. After we worked on that for a while, I was singing notes like I never could in my whole life. Now I'll be able to sing anything i want, better that I ever have. This is going to be so much fun for me, and I can't wait to use all of his information that I learned. Take care guy, and I hope you're doing well....Bobby

      Mr. Neptune Blue In Bobby's defense: Tommy Denander, a very good guitarist with whose "badly expressed opinions" I mostly NEVER AGREE, says Bobby is near deaf (that's pretty common for musicians, unfortunately) and has implants to hear.
      Pair that with bad monitoring, and you can actually get this kind of bad performances.
