I'm convinced that JLB's voice just isn't meant to be recorded live. I've seen them lots of times, his voice has sounded amazing live every time, but for some reason, except for the live DVDs, I don't think his voice records well. For example, when I saw them in NJ on the SC tour, his voice was the best I'd heard up to that point. When a friend of mine found a bootleg of that same show, I couldn't believe the way it sounded. I don't know what it is, but his voice just loses something live when it gets recorded somehow. It doesn't make me love his voice any less, though.
