Shout out for DMB's Big Whiskey /GrooGrux


One of the best releases for 2009. On constant rotation at the moment. Tight "live" sound rarely captured in Dave's other recent work. Would have to go back to Crash for similar, muscular sound.

Excellent. I just ordered it. Crash is also my favorite of DMB but heavy handed
Steve Lillywhite did spoil it a tad with a little over compression. I have also been
disappointed by the quality of DMB's live stuff. My only worry is compression -
Green Day producer Rob Cavallo is known for a heavy hand on the
compressor/limiters so that might explain the raw punchy sound.

Anyway I can still enjoy it in the car if it is over compressed.
Mekong56,

Thanks - that would be this beauty. Anyway it sounds awesome and really funky. I recommend this album even for causal fans of DMB ( I got it yesterday and it is in heavy rotation )
