^clearly he misses a big one.


Anyway, we all know about the boyd studio re-do of his live in chicago lie in our graves solo (this is the one that bothers me the most...for the longest time i thought it was the best liog ever...then i found out it wasn't real).

Another more recent example is the vocal autotuning that is blatant all over live from radio city.



My questions to you are:

Do you think the band edits/touches up its live releases too much??

By covering up mistakes, is dmb being a little disingenuous?
Yes... the bottom line is, they are releasing shows because they want to make the most money off them (i.e. they were the biggest shows of that year).

Instead of releasing the shows in which the band sounded best. It's a shame.
