for sure, lsh, and you'll see Barry Keane doing the same...maybe his drumkit mics are picking up HIS voice and NOT Barry's as i'd originally thought, lol

yeah, nobody more important than the mixing man

here's a quote from Richard from the NG:

I plead guilty to the *poor* mixing at Montreux. In those days Gord liked
the harmonies more up front, but not at ensemble level as in a group like the
Byrds. What I found interesting about the venue was that - unlike a normal
concert hall with two main speaker stacks, the room had roof support columns
with multi-directional speakers attached to each column- some 30-40 in all.
When I first walked in, I thought *This is never going to work* (no bass - 8"
speakers). But it did and,to my surprise, I got quite good sound out of it,
IMHO.
