В этой цитате нет ничего особо курьезного, кроме того факта, что "звук на концерте", а имеется в виду электроусиление, как правило далек не только от "качественного", но часто и просто трудно разобрать слова. Может где-то и есть тот идеальный "звук на концерте", не знаю, не слышал.

Вот что пишут свидетели Звуковы:

By 1978 they had developed large-scale 4-way active self powered designs that gave startling clarity and realism. The dream that Lee Gordon had wished for had evolved.

Music produced by people such as Santana, Eagles, Yes and the Motown label, required a high level of skill, which very few bands possessed. The majority of the new bands were unprofessional and image-driven, copying trends in the styles of Black Sabbath, Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin etc. With extravagant wastage of an entourage of roadies and equipment laden pantec trucks. Almost every cent went on a smorgasbord of drugs and hiring PAs consisting of ugly black boxes that produced harsh distorted unintelligible sound. Roadie sound engineers, often stoned, mixed from the middle of audiences with a desk light on themselves.

Loud harsh distorted sound became and still remains the symbol of live music.
