Actually Doc...my fist listen was on my computer and I had the volume down lower than normal. My Logitech 5.1 THX speakers sometimes sound bassy.
My second listen was in my car. I had to lower the bass a couple of notches, but the clarity came thru much better. I could definitely hear the crowd. It's a shame they didn't keep some of the "antics", but I guess a record company only wants tracks with music on a live album.
I wondered about "If You Stay"...when I listened to it in the car, I could definitely tell it was Be's voice on the backing vocals. Sounds just like the BB's version...but better.
Faith In You was recorded in mono!?!!....SIN! (Where do we get the "bonus track"?)
How many other songs were recorded live but didn't make the album cut? And why did I buy the album for a measley $4 + shipping? Makes me wonder if you're getting anything from the sales.
