Did the person in charge of mixing/producing the album really neuter the guitars? I like the majority of the songs but the guitars seem really tempered/low & the "edge" of the songs seems taken off. Am I nuts? Well I know I am but am I wrong on the above?

If there has been one place where Live's music has really faltered, it has been the production. I was listening to Rattlesnake and Graze today and noticing how powerful and loud the guitar sounds; even when it is being soft it registers a deeper tone over the songs throughout. On Birds of Pray and Songs From Black Mountain, this edge/tone/power has been completely obliterated. Songs like Show, Sofia, and Where Do We Go From Here will sound much better in concert, but to the majority of people hearing them on cd and the singles on radio, they are flat and even keel. It is really unfortunate but I think Live needs to understand that they are being emasculated more in the production than any place else, yet they really seem okay with it. Just listen to even the Dolphin's Cry as compared to, say Show, and the way the guitar stays with you is incomparable to the newer material.
