In their prime, displaying the intense prowress that was "Check Your Head". They were admittedly going for a stoney album experience, and the show isn't much different. Lots of the groovin', slow-head bobbin' instrumentals are done here, as well as some gritty rap stabs and a few punkers as well (notable is the faithful rendition of Minor Threat's "Stand Up"). The hits ("Pass the Mic", "So Whatcha Want?", "Gratitude") are lively, the banter is oddly tossed around, and the intro is one of the strangest ever given.

The source says DSBD, which for 1992 wouldn't be impossible, but awfully close to improbable, as I find it difficult to believe that either Randy's Rodeo or Trenton State had the cash to outlay on such an expense at the time. Digital boards in '92 easily cost in the 6 figure range and were generally left in the studio. I'm not saying it's totally impossible, but I seriously doubt it. Maybe it was the Beasties board.


Otherwise, it's a very clean soundboard and a damn fine mix. But like many straight SBD's, it needed some work. So I smoothed over the EQ spectrum, comp'd it a bit to get the vocals to blend in better and bring out the music, enhanced a little with the BBE and then L3 maximized. Sounds big, warm, energetic.
