On thing to keep in mind about this mix is it's not as loud as previous archive releases. This may give the impression that the guitar are burried in the mix. But if if you listen on a good audio equipement you can hear everything clearly, including the guitars. In comparison, the mix on San Jose '99 is louder and more upfront.

No it’s not only a matter of volume. As documented previously in this thread (by comparing between the two official mixes of I Go Wild). The guitars are mostly buried here. I doubt that someone even did any extra work for this release. Anyone with a little taste would have tried to improve this. Maybe Eagle didn’t have access to the masters. Anyhow it’s a rip off.

These different versions of the Voodoo Lounge Uncut release seem to make me a bit dizzy.

There are three bonus cuts on iTunes:

29 You Got Me Rocking (Live) 3:19

30 Miss You (Live) 9:33

31 It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It) [Live] 5:00


Are these iTunes exclusives?
At first glance I cannot see these on the CD/DVD releases...

So I dusted my old I Go Wild single and I did the same thing as ironbelly, but I put both versions in the same file (both in mono).

The first half is from Voodoo Lounge Uncut (obviously...) and the second half from the single.

As I've said before, it is pretty obvious there is a huge problem here. Or maybe they expect us to buy a "Remastered" version of VL Uncut? Oh wait, it was supposed to be "remastered"...

I still think it sounds interestingly different rather than bad.

Would I like the guitars up a bit in the mix ? Yes.

But I can hear them fine.. and whole sound breathes better than some of the overly loud & compressed releases we've suffered in recent years.

FWIW I've found Totally Stripped to be perhaps the best balanced of all the archive live and "vaults" releases.

It sounds almost like a wonderfully good audience recording ...and what else could you ask of a live album ?

Anemic and lifeless guitars. So buried on the mix. The weakest live álbum IMHO.Very nice setlist, but very little energy. Please, no more releases post 1990[/quote

Agreed on the guitar sound, very low and for me takes a lot of the magic out. The band performance is not lifeless, the setlist is a cracker, if the guitars had been more upfront we would have a terrific VL show here. Totally Stripped a much better sonic adventure, guitar wise, into the Voodoo Lounge.

Voodoo in Japan sounds similar to Uncut if I remember, full thing was/is still on YouTube.

Does anyone know from what concert these three songs come from? New Jersey ?

I finally watched the DVD after listening to the CDs. Wow. Definitely seems worse than the CD mix, and the CD mix is strange to begin with. I was initially bummed that I hadn't picked up the Bluray/CD combo rather than the DVD/CD version, but I now feel completely fine with the DVD/CD set. I usually try to get the bluray pack if for no other reason than to improve the audio, but improved quality of a crappy mix is still a crappy mix. While I'm glad to have this release, looks like I'm still keeping both my initial "Voodoo Lounge" DVD and my "Miami Dice" bootleg. Alas.

The suround-mix is even poorer than the stereo-mix ...

These are single videos taken from the Miami show.

The DVD mix is so poor and the bluray mix is even poorer than poor and the DVD. The surround mix of the bluray is so bad and much worse then the worst stereo mix of the DVD and the worst mix ever. The mix of left channel of the CD is so awful that it is unlistenable but the right channel is even worse and the worst mix ever made in the whole wold at all timnes. The stereo mix of the bluray is the unbelievably poorest mix ever and even much poorer than the poorest surround mix of anything in the world ever.

In summary, the Boot is superior Hoodoo U Voodoo, but it's a middling show and your better buying San Jose '99
