I get the impression 10.02.07 falls under the challenging category for a release with John Mayer and the Marley brothers and Co. having to sign off on it?

I'm going to snoop around a bit, I already found bundle links for tees and hoodies. Doesn't seem like this one will come with a poster though

Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.


I can handle the spoiler, anything would be welcomed on my end besides D&T but that's just my personal preference, others would be ecstatic.

And '14 and '15 wouldn't please me, but others it would. Again, just me.

Would be great if we got Dave and Tim Europe or Alpine 2012.

Or Bismarck once and for all. Can dream I guess.

Wow that's awesome. I was wondering if they were going to have to release two back to back for the time frame leading up to the Holiday release. Thanks!

[Aforauer]

Maybe a little 2021 or 2022 release featuring some new songs bundled with album? One can dream

61 is up!

[bwillis1975]

So, it's the 2005 Chula Vista show. I'm pretty lock certain that the last release this year will be a new show. Other than the Warehouse releases, no band LT since 2018 dates. Don't know if they want to release 2022 with the new songs they're playing but I'm willing to bet LT62 will be 2021/22.

Was just listening to some of LT16, might be my favorite mix out of all DMB live shows

Wow I’m surprised. That’s always been one of my least favorite mixes. However, it’s an amazing show. I guess that shows how subjective mixes are.

LT16 MIX
Reading this I though about giving a little check to this mix with some tools. This is only my opinion, of course.

First of all, this was mixed by Chris Kress, who is, by far, my favorite engineer among the ones to mixed DMB live Trax and live albums.

EQ:
In terms of EQ and balance, this mix is extremely good, to my ears. To be picky, there is a little "boominess" in the lows (around 60hz - 100hz). This is very subjective, but personally this is something that I like a lot. I like to hear Fonz, turned up till a point where he is high and punchy, but not annoying yet.
On the other frequencies (low-mids, mids and highs), everything is perfectly balanced, and I don't hear any muddiness or harshness.

DYNAMICS
This was certainly compressed up to a certain limit, but it still has some headroom, as the RMS (which is a parameter that measure loudness) is around -9 dB. If I can point something out, is that my metering tool detect a peak value around 0 dB (which is the maximum possible value). This means that the volume of this LT was turned up a lot, and it is possible that the sound was somehow brickwalled. If this happened or not, I cannot tell for sure, but it is quite strange to have a peak so high. Anyway, overall, dynamics sound pretty good to me (DR stays around 9).

STEREO IMAGE
If I can make some remark to the mixing engineer, this is the weird choice to put all the instruments in the mid channel. I mean, all. Dave, Fonz and Carter (of course), but also Boyd and even Roi. Considering that this is a 2000 recording, and for sure was a multitrack, that is a questionable choice. Everything is compressed in the middle, and the stereo image is quite narrow, and this all over the recording. There is not much that a master engineer (Jonathan Russell, in that case) can do, at this point: even if you try to open up the sound, single instrument cannot be spaced (panned) apart anymore. They remain on the middle channel. So, this is basically the main issue of this release.

So, let's say that this mix, for me, is ⭐⭐⭐ (over 5).

You can see all of this quite clearly in this video:

Very interesting to hear your analysis. I think with me it's the boominess that I didn't like. Don't get me wrong, I like the bass turned up in the mix. For example, to me the LT 3 mix is perfect and I've always felt Fonz is turned up pretty high but it never comes across as boomy like LT 16 does.

Nonetheless, awesome analysis.

It wouldn’t take that much to me to turn the lows down and make an alternative version just for your ears pleasure, my friend...

I think I might just love that, my friend 😊😊. No rush brother. If you are able to that it would be pretty dope!!

[ToySoldier#34]

So generous XCacel, I have learned so much this year about mixing for my own music and really love it, I enjoy reading your notes in detail

If anyone is interested in this alternative version, DM me for a "sample"

I'm convinced that Fiddler's N2 will be released in some form, whether it is a Live Trax or the free Warehouse download. A few reasons for this-

1: The set is pretty good. Not the best of 2022, but has a solid mix of classics and rarities.

2: It's, to my knowledge, the only show of the year with both no new songs and no guests. These can be barriers to live releases.

3: Dave's voice is pretty damn good. I'd say it's one of the best shows he's sounded of the entire tour. A good test is Fool In The Rain, that has some pretty tough notes and he sounds great.

Definitely because there's no new songs, I think it's the next Warehouse release show. Unless the new album is released before this is announced.

As much as I would love this, as I was in attendance, I cannot agree with the voice. The beginning of that show was atrocious. His voice sounded like a garbage disposal. The person I was with who hadn't seen them since 2015 asked if he always sounds this bad now or Dave was just sick tonight.

I’d love for one of those ‘98 show with Herbie Hancock to get released. Probably a long shot, but that’d be awesome
