As for the Rock am Ring show, I am quite positive the front of house PA had Chris's vocal's at a standard level as opposed to what we hear in the video. That doesn't even make any sense why it wouldn't be. You can hear him very clearly in every other show, why wouldn't you in that one. It's just the recording. And the reason why they setup a boom mic and Paul is doing backup during that show is because of the fact Clown was not there, and this was/is a band with "musicians" in it, and Paul knowing how to do a lot of Clowns backup vocals filled in. When Paul was alive I think they usually had a boom mic set up most of the time anyways, it would just be positioned on the side of Joey's drums more often. But with this show because of the fact he was going to be doing backup they moved it.
The mix is off in this video probably probably because the mix we hear wasn't made for broadcast, or was made for it but Chris vocals were just set too low (very likely if it's mixed by some TV guy in a remote truck)
"Keep in mind Chris mic is only at 2%" 😂😂 signal levels are not measured in percentages, and even if they were you would have no idea unless you were the fucking sound guy 😂😂😂😂
I'm not saying that he had exactly 2% volume, but his mic is much quieter than Paul's. Search the rock am ring 2005 concert and listen to the (sic) part where - you can't kill me. or "pulse of the maggots" everything will become clear to you
