Notes: The sound at the Middle East always sucks and Doug was sick. Recording is pretty good...standard for a rock show in this venue. Good crowd (really singing the tunes). OK mix on Groove Machine, improves during the song greatly. The lead vocals sounds great. Ty's guitar is a little low as are the backing vocals on the first few. The backing vocals improve on Dogman but seem distorted by the PA a little bit."Flies" is great, the overall mix balances out nicely by this point. "Believe" sounds really nice and clear on all fronts (except Doug is getting hoarse and when they all sing the mix is too much I think). Ty's solo on "Looking for Love" sounds like it's in your ear - awesome. "Marsh" has a "*" because they had to restart due to tech problems. The mix is pretty consistent (balanced) on CD-2 (nice lead vocals). The cymbals come in real strong on "Thinking". Great long version of "Vegetable". "Goldilox" is the crowd singin variety. Cool show even though Doug was sick.
