Red Mosquito

Sound-wise these boots aren't the best. They sound like maybe there's too much audience in the mix? Also I swear on the Sea Hear Now boot Stone's acoustic guitar is out of sync or something. I quite liked Josh Evans' mix of the Moline No Code show but not so much these ones. Still better than the 2008-2010 boots at least.

But performance-wise these are great. These Gigaton tunes fucking SLAY. How 'bout that Seven O'clock? My god.

I agree that it sounds like the audience mics are too prominent - it's almost as though there's a kind of slap-back delay on everything, particularly Matt's drums.

I wonder if a contributing factor is the 70s Les Paul Signature he was playing, they have unique low impedance pickups and unusual controls:



Maybe he's still working things out.

Retrograde is a keeper live.
Sounds awesome, im loving the led zep and rem references and damn that jam at the end is huge.

Works like an opener too.

That outro.

melted my face i hope they keep getting this crazy with it

Alright sounded really good.

Great performance.

Daughter is awesome...i love what mike is doing at the WMA tag.

Yeah, they really nailed this one. Not hefty enough to be a show opener, and it might kind of get lost if plopped anywhere in the first set like it was here. But I think I could dig this as the first or second song in an encore as things ramp up gradually.

Immortality

Best live version...ever?

ever?

they were crushing it from '95-'00. but now? best ever?

The jam at the end is wild. Cameron rules.

Also loved Mike

Oh man. yea i loved it. I had my eyes closed for most of the song just taking it all in. Definitely one of the better versions i've heard.

Fantastic.

yeah, what a song. Matt is wonderful here.

Well, this boot is fucking great.

Damn! That was fuckin' good. A couple annoying vocal tics in the beginning had me a little worried at first, but everything that followed was just great. Might've hit a little harder at the end without the extended outro though.

Ed sure does get sloppy in the back half of this show.
