Condensers are still tricky in small and medium sized "bar" venues

It depends on the particular mic more than anything else...My favourite condensers (Milab LC-28
http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/m/0/25521/48/1582 7/#msg_411050) dont have any problems in situations where a beta58 wont cut it.

-Even if it is easy to hear that it has been echoed forth and back a couple of times in the venue before reaching the camera...
Here is another shot with hardrock on an extremly small stage in medieval catacombs with a lot of condensers in action.

Standardsetting on both stages were 4 vocals (milab) 3 guitars (milab) and a various of other instruments from glockenspiel to god knows what and all of those were also milabs, drums were condensers too including the kick.
A much larger stage, and here you can see a bunch of condenser again, but its not much that is heard thru the cameras distortion...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goruSTg9_x0Another kind of hard and loud music, where condensers are used for their ability to resist feedback and then is distorted electronically for the right effect.
(the guy in the white clothes is actually whispering <- this guy later bouht a condenser to avoid his endless feedbackproblems and has been happy with it thereafter)

-This is from a consert with the german group melotron in 2005.
