You guys..... 
Phil Palmer's second solo on ITILYTM does not contain a 'major error', he plays one note slightly out of scale, which I personally don't mind, then on the following run down there is a slightly scuffed note - which happens when you are improvising.
Some people want musicians to take risks, go for it, other people aren't happy unless every show is note for note perfect.
The drum sound (at least on the same song) is not 'crap'. Personally I think the kick and toms sound fantastic. The snare is too thin and high pitched, which was how it ended up on the tour because the stage volume was so loud I couldn't hear my snare at lower tunings. I regret that I didn't try and stick with a better, lower tuning, which would have fitted the material better. I am sure that Neil Dorfsman added a lower tuned snare sample to my snare when he mixed the original OTN record.
The beginning of MFN is a waste of time unless you were in the audience at the show. Mark teases the guitar riff (as you know) and the audience goes crazy for 5 minutes or so. Absolutely nothing lost by editing the false start from this reissue.
My CD box set (which I bought off Amazon) arrives this afternoon.
thnx for your feedback Chris
always a joy to have you onboard here, despite the often "mixed" comments of our own local super musicians :-)
i guess it is the same as with any national football team, the best national trainer is sitting at home, ...pls do not feel upset about this minority of comments.
what does surprise me a bit is that Damage management, or whatever the name is these days, cannot do a little extra effort and send a box to those guys actually playing on it, something i will never get...
but on the other hand, great to see you are still excited enough about it to order it yourself.
pls do keep visiting us every now and then, it is inside infos from the likes of yourself, or the sadly missed Jack Sonni, who lift up the cloud of mystery a bit for us fans!
we always guess and discuss, and over analyse, and sometimes, or most of the time, the answer is a far more simple one. which is where you come in :-)
