"Band sounds great - but the sound quality here is lacking and the mix is terrible. 2016-2022 shows sounded great so what happened? "

"Fantastic 2 night we spent in the Snake Pit. Stage was quite big but guys performed so good. Orion intro was beast and of course finishing with Puppetz was great too"

"I dont know why Greg is mixing James’ vocals so low on 72 Seasons and in these M72 shows.. james needs to be upfront in the mix. Guitars are are muddy and the drums are once again too high. "
