Live Trax 55: Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre 4.29.09

Performance-wise, LT55 is, IMO, one of the top 10 Live Trax. Great versions of Rhyme and Reason, Jimi and Two Step.

Setlist is also pretty consistent to me. You cannot expect all songs from the three albums on a 2009 release, which is fine for me, and I like to have Rye Whiskey, Beach Ball and Spacemen here.

In terms of mixing quality, to me this falls into the average range. I expect a 2009 SBD to be properly recorded, so I think there has been some problem in the mixing. Sound is not so open, the is not much wide range and the overall sound is a bit muffled.
Plus the overall mediocre output in BT track.
I don’t know what the other are thinking of the audio quality, if this is just my impression.

    Ok. I downloaded the tape, and this show smokes.. easily one the best 2009 shows around. Tons of energy. Band sounds fresh, engaged and having fun..
    I will not purchase the official release because this tape is unreal. Excellent quality sound.. one of the best sounding full band tapes out there.

    55 has a mixing error on it.. get the tape instead. It sounds great! And 56 is definitely the show to pay for.

    What are you referring to, exactly?

    The only album where I knew there was a mixing error is Piedmont Park. What’s the problem in LT55?

    As said before, the mix is pretty lackluster. I’m not sure what you guys are hearing though, to me this is a very sloppy performance. Dave flubs a lot and sounds uninterested the whole show. And Boyd is Boyd, mixing issues aside

    Unfortunately this show is unlistenable. The mix of Boyd being out of sync is too much. I went with the actual tape instead and just labeled it LT 55 in my itunes. It's actually a really good tape and sound is better than the pro mix. Not a bad show, but certainly not LT worthy, even from 2009. There were much better shows.

    Going through all the LT's again and I'm on this one. I've been reading threads of each just to see what people think/thought.

    The Boyd thing...

    I think its a Boyd thing and not a mix thing. I think he just sounds off on this night. He's more on time on other songs than the two being pointed out but I think it's just the decline of BT.

    Dig this show. FYI.

    Hey dude! Good to see you back on the boards. I wrote a couple of messages, but you were MIA. Hope everything's all right.

    If you listen to the audience recording, he is playing on time. It's only on the official release he sounds bad. It's most apparent on Funny

    You like this show in spite of the mix and your dislike of Boyd's playing?

    It truly is a mix issue this time around. If you listen to the tape he is playing in time with the band.
