I disagree with sbrew about this show and agree with Eric F. Wybenga and everybody else. This is a kick-ass performance mixed very well by Mr. Seamons.The five things I look for in a top notch collectable (besides the obvious - the overall performance of The Boyz) is:1.) How is Jerry singing? 2.) How are Jerry and Bobby's mics mixed on the board in relation to the other instruments - are they too hot? 3.) What is the ambiance like, i.e .: did the recordist capture most if not all of the crowd response at the end of each song? 4.) How well does the SBD mix with the audience capture? 5.) Lastly, where was the AUD recorded from and how high could the recordist get his mics off the crowd? For me, those qualities are in order of importance. But all five answers to those key questions are paramount in judging whether a matrix is really stellar or just masking a seriously problematic SBD recording of Jerry and everyone's mics.And I consider this a stellar mix of a stellar evening's performance.The first and most important issue is that Jerry sounds good, and his and Bobby's SBD vocals are very well mixed and seem totally natural to the AUD. In fact, if I had to guess - not knowing this was a MTX - I would have said the vocals were ALL from the AUD. That is an unusual aspect to this MTX and a wonderful addition from the board. In fact, it's such a good mix and so natural, it has me scratching my skull at just HOW well meshed the SBD vocals are with the AUD. It's unusually good!Secondly, the aforementioned notes on Mr. Rolfe's 1st row balcony location puts me at ease to whether it might be a good AUD recording, with Steve being a serious and conscientious recordist fighting, begging, borrowing, and stealing for the best possible position while getting the best from what he's given; allowing for all the crowd's response and ambiance between songs throughout the night... which automatically answers the last two questions.It's a fun listen kids - and the end of the show is a balls-ee blowout! Highly recommended five star performance and mix. Nice job Mr. Rolfe, Mr. Healy, and Mr. Seamons, et al. And - oh yeah - nice job Boyz !!!PS. I just love this show and this matrix. It's hands-down better than the officially released "Road Trips"... At least, I can imagine that it is. ;^ )
