Yes. It was hard to hear the reed player. I was straining to follow his solos. It wasn’t just the mix - his playing seemed fairly subdued, almost tentative. We were sitting in the third row, toward the right, directly in front of one of the big main speakers. The volume was just right, and we could make out each instrument really well, with the exception of the reeds. I walked back to the back of the room by the mixing board to see if the sound from that channel was better further back, and I still couldn’t hear him well at all.
This is actually an evolved version of the title track on the new album "Speak to Me". I was at the show and loved this version, a lot more dynamic than the album version, and a killer drum solo from Rudy!
