Well aren't most of Eric's fans a bit older?  hehe Nah.....what I hear
happened
was that Doyle was not doing a sound check before the shows which is kinda
bad IMHO. That's why his sound was off. There were a lot of complaints even
by Doyle fans that the sound was crappy and some even questioned why the
sound engineers weren't fixing that.  Doyle was interviewed and asked about
the sound problems after the tour was over and he said that the reason he
was
not doing a sound check was because Eric was not doing one either. The thing
is that Eric's sound engineers already know exactly how to tweak Eric's
sound
and not Doyle's. I think that is why Doyle's set sounded bad.
