Review title: Very impressive - but too much crowd in the mix.
Product review: Unlike some of the other reviews, I really enjoy hearing "A Pleasant Shade of Gray" preformed in its entirety on Disk 1. I think it demonstrates the band's technical skill to pull this off and the material comes off well.My biggest single complaint with this release is how the producer mixed in crowd noise. I guess he didn't want us to "forget" it's a live album because the crowd noise is way to prevelant. During the soft intro of APSOG a handful of fans continue to whistle and holler for almost two full minutes. Rather than adding excitement, it just becomes grating because these few fans whistling is almost louder than the music.Other than this issue, this is a great live release with excellent performances and production. You can hear each instrument (including the bass!) very clearly. I definitely recommend picking it up.
