especially this line when talking about the arena wide audio upgrades that took place in 2012 (on an building constructed in 2004) "The BSS devices had to provide processing not only for the main arena, but also for several other systems in the suites, lobbies, concourse, press and interview rooms, gym, gift shops, restaurants, bar, and for the delay speakers under the balcony in the upper seating area."
I'm glad they didn't record Back Spacer there, but it was a loud assed three hour rock show in a semi-new building that was designed for ice hockey.
NBA basketball, not hockey
I think you could set it up for hockey...I'm in agreement, the last thing Tennessee needs is another hockey team. It's the last thing any of us need really.
I wasn't there and i can't have opinion about what you listen at that time..i guess if i was there,it would be nice for me also..but when i listen to that in my home with headphones or not ,especialy on the slow songs,sounds creepy to me..

So the sonic accuracy of the recording annoys you?
It's a multitrack recording. All instruments are on their own tracks and the audience / ambience on their separate tracks. Turn up the instruments and lower the echoy ambiance when mixing => problem solved, accuracy lost or not, who cares. You're listening to the recording in your own system not piped through an arena pa anyway.
I would hope that they're mixing the boots to be as true to life as they happened. I personally don't want a soundboard recording with a diminished amount of ambient sound. For me, as far as HD FLAC 20 dollar live recordings go, the band, the crowd, and the space they're playing in, are all part of the equation. I'm not contending that the 2014 Memphis setlist was in the same league as Benaroya Hall, but if you listen to that recording, you could say that that loud-assed crowd should have been turned the eff down in the mix too.
It's like photoshopping a picture of yourself to make yourself look "better". You still look like that.
It's like not knowing how to frame the pictures you take. If you want a fine detailed portrait of yourself, you don't need a 360 panoramic background of your surroundings messing things up.

We are really happy with the one hockey team we have.
And about Benaroya Hall, I've said it before and I'll say it again: it would sound a lot better without the hall echo. More intimate and in-your-face. Haven't bothered to even open the vinyl, because the sound is not that great . The cd will do.

I dont think I agree with you. The fine detailed portrait is the album, Lightning Bolt, Back Spacer, Riot Act, months recording and fiddling with knobs and tape, and the output of precisely focused material. The boot? By it's very nature that is a quickly taken landscape panorama. If you're going to record and release 99% of your concert output, as this band has graciously done, the acoustics and reverberation of individual spaces should be totally apparent, not de-tuned or blunted. The crispness of the vocals, guitar, bass, and drums are still there, they're just made different by the space that they were performed in.
I have zero problem with the sound on Benaroya.
I'm not trying to dismiss you or disrespect you but I'm not sure what you consider to be great sound and I consider to be great sound are the same thing.
