I would not have attended, or considered attending, the VPO concerts at Zellerbach had I known they were using electronic enhancement of the live sound.

I passed on the opportunity to hear the VPO under Bernstein at Concord Pavillion in 1987, for the same reason.

I will not pay hundreds of dollars to hear a PA system, no matter how sophisticated.

  . . . although, come to think of it, the last time J-Fi was in Berkeley, she played in Hertz Hall (a smaller hall, used for recitals, near the main music building, and, as far as I know, uncontaminated by acoustic virtual reality systems).
