Is A Live Concert Stereo Or Mono


Someone the other day said to me by e-mail when I asked if the Mono LP were better than the Stereo LP and he answered have you ever hear a live concert , they are in MONO.

I wasn't sure if he was kidding or not.

what is your take on this

Oh yeah.. he prefered MONO..
I'm still trying to figure this one out, will have to get both a stereo and mono copy of the same LP and see..
comments welcome on this 2 part deal

Live unamplified instruments playing are not mono, stereo or multi-channel. Those terms are only appropriately used when describing amplified, reproduced sound. There seems to be some confusion because nearly all mid to large venue concerts are amplified. If you're at a Pink Floyd concert you're not listening to the band play, you're listening to a big concert hi-fi system reproduce what the band is playing.
