There are good FOH mixers and there are bad FOH mixers. The difference between the two can be as large as the Grand Canyon.

I absolutely agree. If a band has done everything they possibly can to cooperate, then it is time to hang the engineer.
I'm not suggesting the engineer is blameless.
It is on the drummers, as well. Actually mostly on the drummer. If the drums are too loud in the beginning, the whole band doesn't stand a chance.
Bands are kind of like the QB in those situations. Raise the ability of those around them, and calmly overcome the deficiencies of the inept.
Be a pro, take it in stride, overcome and break a leg.
