no it doesn't....these are really nicely put together and they add a dominant groove for those gigs that call for it (ie. lots of drinking, chatting, dancing, etc) but i certainly prefer just hearing live off the floor stuff when you've got the sort of talent that you and the Two Paulies have
with your lead abilities you could go 100% with backing tracks and have 1 or 2 less guys to pay, lol...but you couldn't replace the chemistry and banter you guys seem to have...it's great that you can go with a trio, solo or either duo
btw, i remember hearing mr bartlett for the first time (he did Insp lady) as well as mr johnston (he was playing licks right beside me the entire time, and performed a robust High and Dry) at one of the hotel jams...the one that earned all Lightheads a lifetime Delta Chelsea ban...yeah, they love us
i'd love to hear more off of your stellar 'Sundown-era' voice singing selection from WFY, APPT, Harmony albums...drink your glasses empty, much to my surprise, river of light, harmony, couchiching (yes seriously, lol)...i could go on
great to hear the new board mix...going forward, maybe you could leave a subtle bit of the camera mic ambience in the mix and bring it right up as each tune closes out
i know you are true to the studio recording but here is the bridge i spoke of (see 1:40 mark)
YouTube - Gordon Lightfoot - 3 songs performed live at Muchmusic Studios 1999-07-07
my last request (besides a smoke) is that it might be a great blast of energy to start your show with Spin Spin...perhaps end with Sometimes I Wish...ok, enough already
cheers,
opie
ps) by a free round, i meant Legends
