ACL ...unimpressed

PJ Fan est. 1990

so far from what i've seen, PJ are doing great jobs, but the sound board is mixed horribly, too much emphasis on mike, not enough stone or jeff...you don't hear the crowd at all, a PJ live performance seems naked without being able to hear the crowd, it feels like it's a guitar a singer and a drummer jamming in a practice space, again from what i've seen PJ is putting on a great show, but this broadcast is not doing them justice

i think the crowds a little reserved because of the venue.not knocking ACL though, been watchin for most of those 35 years. just laid back, low key. only 300 people i think i read somewhere.LUCKY DOGS

Ok

I had a similar reaction while watching, but I think the environment at ACL is just so different from a normal PJ show its hard to compare. I still thought it sounds OK for a TV show. Especially some of the shit they play on FUSE.

The sound was off imo as well. About half way thru i didnt notice it as much. Red mosquito sounded awesome with ben on slide guitar. And Inside job might be the most under appericated song ever.

this would have been so much better if we were able to hear stone, especially during DTE and the guitar duel during Porch, and i think turn mike down a little cause the random little riffs he does that makes the music that much better sounded like random solo cuts, i think turning him down just a little bit could have fixed that

well yeah the songs where mike plays a constant rhythem sounded good because it masked the fact stone wasn't audible.

taping was great i agree, all the camera angles and everything were excellent, my only complaint is the sound mixing, i just feel that Jeff and Stone got cut a raw deal cause they were barely audible.

just finished up watching online.. there was plenty of stone and jeff in the mix, i thought. sounded good to me.

(eddie needs to stop smoking though)

im sorry, i always try to be positive and kind on the porch- but i have to say this, if you have any complaints about that performance you're an idiot. i watched it online, MAYBE there was a difference on tv, but jeff and stone sounded great online and that may have been one of the best pearl jam performances ive ever seen, unreal.

preface this by saying, i am a bit drunk and just got home from no code.....

quit the fucking bitching. what did you expect, they recorded a tv show with a few hundred people in the audience, you surely didn't expect a crowd like the spectrum.

someone is always fucking complaining

haha, they sounded good to me but i am not that picky.

the RATM tribute killed it.

Don't really notice the bad mixing. But listening to Eddies struggling voice hurts my ears. Sounds really bad.

If it wasn't Eddie/Pearl Jam to would not accept it. Now your in denial. It sounds very bad.

Its because it was an uncovered outdoor show. Just like the Bonnaroo show. Listen to the boot. Crowd noise was almost non exsistant. But I was there, and it was loud as all hell... The mix of the strings though isnt soo good...

What the shit happened to my qoutes.... HAH. :twisted:
