Live in Texas



Great DVD and CD, but ...,

... there's no way this recording is free of overdubs and some major post-production. It just doesn't sound live, especially when watching the DVD. I would bet they sounded nothing like this at these shows. Also, the package says it was recorded on 2 different dates, but the guys are wearing the same clothes throughout. Perhaps they recorded the audio from 2 shows and mixed it in (along with some studio trickery) with the video from a single show? Maybe someone who actually attended these shows could comment on that. It just sounds too good and too polished to be totally live. I know it's common to overdub, etc on live albums, but this one may take that a little too far. Nonetheless, it's fun to listen to and watch. If you're a LP fan, you'll enjoy it.
