Well, I like the liveness and the mix and all of the sounds. Could use a little ambience.
But what is a little bit of a downer for me is that the signature opening riff...especially on the bass...isn' played right. That's like THE thing in the song. The substitutions don't have the same impact. Gotta have that octave-down two note thing. The impact of the original line is gone.
The other thing is that the bass player and drummer are over-playing. The fundamental musicality and groove gets shoved aside in a 'dig me' riot.
The guitar player oughta work out some basic stuff to improv on before getting in front of the mic. His pentatonic meandering is OK; but, jeez, he can't seem to make a line flow to a groove. Again, trying to do too much, with inadequate prep, and lost in his own thoughts....'what band?' He's almost better that Steve Stills. But some simpler, more timely and melodic riffage would be great. There's a place for what he does...getting all un-necessary; but it loses its impact if there's no contrasting, musical noodling.
Good sounds. But chaotic performances. Every dude for himself. The concentration should be on the music, blend, and dynamics....with more effort to provide tasteful accompaniment...working as a team...one thing: the song. Everybody is capable of playing the parts. But y' gotta have a plan to work with. Organize for the good of the music. "Play Together" MHO
. It will sound like a band in a room because that is what it was.
