Re: Rank the Live Trax albums from best to worst
Excellent : 3....... 8, 1, 2, 26, 11, 20, 7, 23 , 24, 16
Very Good : 28, 19, 18, 13, 15, 17, 5, 21,
Good : 12, 6, 14, 12, 10, 22
Below Average : 4, 27, 25, 9 ( I never listen to these shows)
3 is far and away my favorite LT. The sound is fantastic and IMO blows away LT 16 , which sounds muddy , and LT 11 has a tin sound to it.
Example : GIG from LT 3 sounds perfect , GIG from LT 11 sounds like a solid Scott Brown bootleg . Why is that ? I paid the same price for each of those cd's , 1 shouldn't sound so much better then the other.
The inconsistent sound with the LT releases is annoying , and ridiculous to say the least. LT 27 sounds awful , and IMO it's a joke that they would charge the fans $$$ for a show that sounds like a bootleg. Same thing with DMBLive , but thats a whole other story.
Here are a few more examples/ complaints with the whole LT program and the inconsistencies of the releases.
LT 26 sounds awful , and that is so frustrating to me as it's a great show . Why is it that 3 other songs released on Warehouse discs sound superior to the LT 26 version ? Why did they wait 10 years to release a LT show from 2003 ? This LT (26) would have made a lot more sense as LT 4 that was released in 2005 .
LT 25 sounds great , but IMO is a below average show, released 7 years after the performance, making it an irrelevant release. Alpine 2012 should have been LT 25, released in the spring of 2013.
LT 7 was released 10 years after , but is a fantastic show , and a great release. LT 6 made sense when released, a mere 2 months after the shows at historic Fenway.
LT 12 sounds good , but is so short it was a waste of a LT IMO . Plus it was released 13 years after the performance. A couple of songs (Warehouse, Recently) from LT 12 should have been released . A show from 1999 anyone ?
LT 20 sounds fantastic , and is a great release , close to the bands 20 year anniversary . LT 27 , recorded in 2010 , sounds like shit. LT 28 was recorded 1 month after LT 27, and sounds amazing. Go figure.
Bottom line..all of the LT shows should be special shows , not average gigs and all should obviously sound great or they shouldn't be released.
