They can't even get Glastonbury to sound good. I've heard some really bad sound from Glastonbury.

They haven't done that training for years. They sold off most of the training centre. Also much BBC production is now outsourced.
What the BBC or anyone else does now is unrelated to when I did training. Modern movies also often are worse for dialogue then 1930s to 1950s.
Live audience pop / rock concerts and especially outdoors are mostly dreadful for sound, no matter how you record it.
The only live music I've liked were orchestral or folk or Tom Paxton. All the rest had poor sound quality and too loud. Dreadful compared to the same artists/groups on CD studio recordings. All of the CDs I have of actual live pop concerts are also much poorer production values than the studio versions.
