Some good points made above. In Rochester it was Gord's in-ear monitor box that kept falling off. The stage has been mic'd for a long time now, although the mics they are using for this tour look different than the mics they used before. They could be for feedback detection purposes as well as recording.
Quote:Vol.1 of the Live Series sounded to me like it was straight off-the-board, without any post-production. IF they were recording all tracks seperately with post-production in mind, I don't think you'd hear the dialing-in of the sound mix on the Live Tracks. You can definately hear the sound mix improving with each track on the Toronto show. The first 4 tracks are pretty shakey.Exactly - you are right on the money. Most people who don't know the difference wouldn't notice this, and I'm glad you pointed it out. I spoke to Mark V. about this, and he said yes, they did record all the tracks separately in Toronto, but they were mixed "on the fly" in the truck, not in post. Management wanted to get the show released as soon as possible, so they just put it out "warts and all" so we the fans could have it. I think the band/Mark will be listening to it closely, to see what can be done to better the next release. Perhaps they will wait and do all the mixing in post.
