Not Much to Say (Not Much to Hear, Either)
I had a hard time hearing Bob's guitar in most of this mix, and the recording was muddy. At certain points, Brent was too loud and ended up drowning out everyone else.
The first time I heard this Row Jimmy, I liked it a lot - on a second listen, its still good but not great. The jump from soft to really heavy 3/4 of the way through Birdsong is jarring and it didn't seem very heartfelt - more like the band decided that they had to "do something". The transition between Playing in the Band and Eyes of the World is a mess. Dear Mr. Fantasy is ok (and one of the highlights of the night), and you can hear how charged up the audience gets. Not much to hear here.
