Oh wait...

[JustinC]

I thought he sounded alright for his current standards when they played it in 2013

I see what you did there. See also: the acoustic set.

To be fair, Peter's more obnoxious on "Desperate Hours" than most tunes. That said, yeah, yeesh.

[greykitkat36]

Wow this sounds fantastic. Cannot wait to hear the rest of this show. I honestly don't mind Peter as much as everyone else does at least on this particular mix. And some of what he does in the verses is kind of what Tim does on the '13 versions,

Agreed that this song kicks ass and would love to hear it again this summer its by far one of my favorite DMB songs. Haven't heard it since '03 and that was the only time for me.

[Hopper]

Is there a link to the clip that works on mobile?

[Tomacco]

So, the whole hype about the mix being a big deal and would drown out Peter.... Peter is just as loud or louder than the usual SBD mixes here. Not a huge fan.

[Poth Ead]

to me, the mix sounds fuckin great

this will be a good listen but how will it hold up against the rest of the series? that's pretty much my own standard question to myself before each new live release

[Jayes]

Somebody said it the other day, but part of the flak Peter catches is caused by his inevitable height in the board mixes compared to the other inputs. I still think a lot of it is cheesy, but some of it is tasteful buried down in the mix where it belongs.

Yup. Celluloid brought that up. I thought that was an awesome point that I had never considered before. Very excited to hear the action show.

[batleon]

Yeah this is about what I was hoping for a mix. I dig it.

[greykitkat36]

I'm loving carters drums, that's the biggest surprise to me..they sound fantastic, was not expecting that from a 92 release.

Why is that? It's a multitrack and Carter is the most talented musician in the band. I knew he'd be killing it on a 92' recording.

[cryfreedom09]

That entire rhythm section is killing it.

[Thrawn]

How many different keyboard effects do you need on the same song? Fuck. I think Peter's keeping me away from this one too.

Yeah. Carter is great here though. I'll give this one a listen out of curiosity once it's out.

I meant the actual "sound" of his drums, not his playing--we all knew that would be amazing. It's really difficult to get a good live drum sound especially at a small club where everyone is super close and there's tons of mic bleed. This was long before DMB had the money to pay the sound guys and recording experts they have now--so the fact they were able to mic that kit up and get it to sound somewhat decent is surprising to me. I know a shitload can be done in post-editing with multitrack, but the initial recording still has to be pretty good to get them to sound that good.

Fair enough
