This was our first time at the Paramount and we were really looking forward to seeing 70's Soul but were very disappointed. The background music was so powerful you could not hear the singers. We were seated in the lst 6 rows of the balcony. We could hear people complaining also about the sound. I'm sure if the performers knew of this problem they would also be upset as this could have been a really great show.
