Not a single song off the album. So far so good. Tinkles jam was kinda tight.

So I’m probably not going to stay up late enough to hear the tracks off the new album. First set is a regular show, which is pretty cool TBH

Turn the damn vocals down on the stream please.

Lol came back to talk about the mix. Jesus Christ. The vocals are all I can hear.

Came here to comment on how horrible the mix is. Is KB back on the boards?

It’s all bass drum and vocals. Where is @opsopcopolis when you need him?

I turned my EQ totally flat, mix is still bad. Who replaced Mitchell and should be be blaming him?

Audio sounds like a taper recording from the Browning years

Shut up old man

This Crooked jam might be my highlight of the night so far.

Fuck, you guys are right. This mix is atrocious on the live stream. I’m just going to turn it off and hope what they post to nugs is better.

It’s really awful - doing the same thing

Way ahead of both of you.

Do you think the reason that shows keep getting re-posted to Nugs is that they’re fixing the bad mixes or that their fixing the fucked tracking or both?
