Listening to this right now on Spotify. Not as good as the Four Flicks mix, but still a great show worth revisiting!
It is typical 'modern days' production for nomad listening. As bad as all recent archive live editions.Quote

Just listened to Brown Sugar, it's sounds completely overloaded and distorted compared to Live Licks. I don't know what they're are doing with these reissues but the sound is horrible.

2022 shows are far better.
Yes for sure. Keith and Ronnie just wasn't up to par in 2003, and Mick is much better today. And Steve just brings so much new energy to the band. Can't wait for the 2023 tour, it will definitely be the best so far.

Sound butcher, I like the term. Just have concerns about the butchers' guild. They certainly feel rightly offended when you associate them with this depressing sound result.

Usually I start to complain about the mix here but I started to accept that we probably won't get a good sounding mix on these releases anymore... So I'll save that energy from now on
Money. With El Mocambo they probably thought it was worth it to invest in Clearmountain since it's such a well known, legendary concert. Still there are thousands of young sound engineering students who could do this better than Wheat and for less money...Quote

The question is, why they contract to Bob Clearmountain to El Mocambo and not for all these re-releases...

Give the footage to one of us. You'll get more out of it than if Sam Wheat tries.
A bit better than Copacabana for sure but that doesn't mean it's good.Quote

About Licked Live In NYC, in my opinion it sounds good, I'm listening to it now on spotify and it sounds good to me. Sam did a good job here.

The only 2 I thought that were really bad were Ladies & Gentlemen and Copacabana. Everything else was fine by me.
The most stupid thing about Copa is that the original DVD from the Biggest Bang boxset sounded absolutely amazing. So they basically paid a mixed to make it sound worse. Same with this one, the original DVD sounded just fine.Quote

My Voodoo is on CD. It doesn't jump out to me as badly as Copacabana does. Most bootlegs sound better than Copa IMO.
