I love how the Chuck isnt loud even during his solo on Honkey Tonk Women. Engineers are paying attention to someone...
No, I did not pic a song to end the 1st disc. For me personally I make ONNYA track 1 on disc two, but I know alot of people feel that presents the bstage in incomplete form, but I dont care. So you can do whatever you like really. I never made artwork for it but plenty of people did make fantastic artwork for it. So pick whatever you want and go with it on the break between discs.
As far as the recording goes, there are plenty of things I'd still like to (and will do to) it, but I think its very enjoyable as is. I laugh every time I hear myself on the recording. You can hear me talking to my dad on the phone sometime after ADTL or MrPitiful "They played Sway! They played Sway!!" I had two wiskey sours before the gig and my friends bought rounds in my honor all night so I figured I'd try to run quick during the Worst. I knew what Keith's set would be. So You hear me asking my buddy to take my jacket... Gotta love my stealth gear. (btw, they did pat me down and wand me. i got mad skillz though and nothing works better than electrical tape and a crotch. i'm just glad the female security guard didnt start grinding on me...) I made it back for Infamy but did the gear switchoff after it and before Miss You. I'll continue to work on it and someday I'll release the "remixed" version, but for now I'll let this circulate. I'm happy with it, every person who has heard it has loved it, its great. Not just the quality, but the performance. Sympathy, the openning of Brown Sugar, and a few warhorses are the only weak spots of the show. The whole thing rocks.
Seriously, if you dont like this show you really need to give it another full listen at whatever the peak volume of your stereo is. Whenever your bass starts to distort, thats where your volume knob needs to be. She's So Cold, IORR, ADTL, Sway, Mr Pitiful, Infamy, ONNYA, Shattered (messed up but still killer), etc... This show is great.
Btw, I'll give mad props to anyone who can tell me what Jagger says on IORR when he changes up the lyrics. I've deciphered a little bit. Seems like either he lost his breath, or forgot his place or something. Similar to what seemed to happen occasionally with Manish Boy on Licks.
