Very pleased overall, I just prefer the sound of something like LT3 better. If this were the only DMB live vinyl, I would be beyond excited. Spoiled by riches at this point.

I would imagine that is just the recording itself. For being considered the mecca of DMB live releases, I've always felt and heard it the mix the same way you described. By all means it is not bad, but just not as full sounding as say Central Park. Drums are a bit flat in the mix and hollow, bass is a little low, overall not a lot of depth in the recording. It's a flat mix but does a fantastic job of mixing the whole band together, nothing is missing or stands out too much.
The 95 DMB sound though was very much this way though. It captures what they sounded like at the time. Almost all 95 tapes and releases have the same described sound.
Would love to get my hands on this vinyl someday.
