On this album, over and over again, Michael Sadler goads theĪudience into singing along, and stops singing himself. On a live album it should be used sparingly. Suppose that it pumps the band up to know that an entire hall full of people knows the lyrics to their music, but Secondly, and this is more of a personal issue: I hate when a live album features a lot of audience singing. It's astounding that a band that'sīeen together for thirty years could be this unprofessional. Gradually gets better until it levels around the halfway point of the first disk. Because of this, the instruments don't blend well. The guitar is too loud, the keyboards are not loud enough,Īnd the lead vocal is booming and distorted. With a mix that Charles Barkley would call "turrible". The first advice I would give to the band and thier road crew: learn how to do a sound check! The album begins (actually, I received an email newsletter) at a temptingly low price.
