I attended TD once here in Vienna in the Konzerthaus.

The soundcheck was shaking the entire building and it's not a  
particular small one:

Admittedly I can't remember of tuning problems, just huge modular  
synths (Moog & Roland System 700) and strangly distorted guitars.

aging components is the main problem I's guess ... thirty years ago  
the rechnology was young but the components were not as sophisticated  
but new nevertheless ;-)
