I have high hopes for the the sound on this one, especially after the disappointment that LALP was in this department. The drum sound was outstanding live this tour, especially the snare and the cymbals. Fat, full, well-rounded tone, nothing like the thin mosquito bites heard on the DVD. The chinas were so loud and powerful, they blew my mind every time Mike accented something on them. I hope this new release will capture some of that.
