We saw the Kinks in CY Stephens Auditorium and the acoustics there are great. You heard them throughout the 1960s and 1970s on AM radio, but (because of that?, this was oldies then), I wouldn’t even had known they were still performing (I think this was 1980). They had a new album; very clear sound in CY.
Maybe we just imagined this, but outside on the north side, it seemed very acoustic also. At night it was probably even more quiet in that area then, but it was as if it picked up sounds like from Lincoln Way, any little thing from across the horizon, and channeled it towards the middle, the fins on the corner, like a giant ear.
