That's why DMB's management is awful. If it makes him / them sound like an ass, they shouldn't push DMB on SiriusXM. Let fans hear shows in person. Or let people continue to enjoy taper audio where there is much more forgiveness thanks to the room's air and the natural verb.
If you've heard any IEMs the music almost always sound like shit; vocals in particular. That's how unforgiving the live release of SiriusXM audio.
Dave is vocally rough right now but I seldom see remarks coming back from shows mentioning his voice. Meanwhile, when you're promoting the heck out of hard on the ears live streams, that's the impression fans are FORCED to come away with.
As Grateful Dead approached in 1995, Jerry's playing was real bad. People now easily overlook that period. By pushing all these soundboards to out that have Dave sounding craptastic there's no way to leave it to memory.
DMB's management is out to lunch or too busy seeing Phish. Evaluate what sounds good and what doesn't. Only allow good things to go out. It's not difficult.
