Jesus christ the vocals on Ringo are so loud. This might actually be the worst one yet if the rest of this is this way too. Everything sounded so good in the room

Listen to the end of CtC. It was unbearable.

It is truly shocking that in the year 2025 they cant put out a SBD that stands up to the quality they had 20 years ago when they were selling the CDs at venue an hour after show

lmao wtf. That could be the greatest show they ever played, but i’ll never know because i’m not sitting through a tape that sounds like that

Shocking that there’s tGD shows that are over 50 years old that sounds better.

Umphreys doesn’t excite me like they used to, but I did some skimming and the jams have patience, substance, and some interesting ideas. Love to see it. SBD quality aside

This is really disappointing to hear. Turned off the stream after CtC so guess I’ll never hear the rest. Bummer.

The jam segments are listenable. Tinkles, Ringo, Crooked are all interesting

I would gladly take KB back. This is embarrassingly bad.

Holy shit I think I could do better

I’ve avoided listening to too many good shows/segments on account of these garbage mixes. Can we reach back out to Joel yet to let him know we’re butt hurt?

I don’t love the new mixes overall, but they generally FINE as far as I’m concerned. Last night was something else entirely.

it’s worth noting that it looks like they were playing on backline, or otherwise non-standard gear last night.

Cool to see Warren and Karina. Love them.
