    the crowd sings the final chorus on Evenflow at MSG 1 and you hear them fine.

    but that crowd was off the hook.

    i think most official boots are like this with less crowd noise. Grab the "unofficial" MSG2 boot that was floating around if you can. EXCELLENT crowd noise IMO...i cant get enough of it

    I've heard about 4 boots and the crowd is only really audible between songs. Sounds like they're playing in an empty warehouse with only half the instruments plugged into the amps. No real atmosphere. Anyways, I'm not an audio geek and music is subjective, etc. but the quality of the recording or mixing on these is just terrible to my ears. The guitars seem to come in and out on any heavy, fast song.
    2003 - Champaign (first show), Chicago, Uniondale, MSG II, State College, Alpine Valley; 2004 - Toledo, Grand Rapids; 2005 - Kitchener, London.

    No its like they're playing on top of a 10 story building and the crowd is down on the street.

    You are correct. That is exactly what they sound like.

    I'm listening to msg1 right now, the crowd noise seems a bit muted.... I hate to complain but this is fucking piss poor mixing... the guitar work is disgusting and whoever mixed it makes the crowd come in loud only when they sing part of the song, which is fucking stupid.

    I agree... it's really sad... it's almost like someone just took protools and clipped out or muted down the levels or frequency of the crowd (for when the crowd isn't participating in the song itself).

    Then of course the encore break sounds pretty normal.

    In between songs I mean you can hear the crowd, but when they're cued to start singing along during a song its really hard to hear. Thats actually the part of the bootlegs that I really love. I don't know, I'm tired of complaining about this. They are what they are. It just sucks they couldn't capture the crowd in any of the ones I've heard when they sounded awesome two years ago.

    I dunno what happened to basecamp, those bootlegs were stellar, I'm glad to be able to get these shows, but I'll only be buying the shows I went to and trading/downloading the rest.
