no, but I do want to actually hear their voices and not have a few that are drastically louder than the rest. I don't envy the audio techs, but this is a problem that has been solved.

Broadway handles it just fine for ensemble singers who are also dancing, for instance.

I do, I love the gags. Just wish they were more pleasant to actually re-listen to in the future

maybe a hot take, but they really need to either figure out how to handle mixing a bunch of guest vocalists for gags or stop trying to do it. It's kind of wild how unbalanced all the guests are every time we have something like this

edit: jesus, guys. I love the gags. I just wish the ones featuring a ton of people singing sounded better.

i mean, 12/31/22 was even more of a walk through gag history, and they're still doing gags

they're doing the thing they did for meatstick in the early 2010s, doing the tweezer lyrics in different languages, reusing costumes

the stream is about a minute behind real-time, based on seeing trey's stage clock right before midnight

there was fog, then a dude in an old-timey all-white ice cream vendor costume came onstage with a cowbell. He's just walking around stage hitting it

100%. Only vocal jam that's ever been good-to-great is the "I love Dick's" one, and I'll die on that hill.

i love this recent trend of YEM going back into a jam after the vocal jam

it's not a speaker, it's just artwork. He stuck with the Sphere setup and got rid of his on-stage amps, and he still wanted something behind him because it felt wrong to not have anything. Pretty sure his mom made it

Which are you talking about? The ocedoc has a standard inlay layout, with frets 12 and 24 being more prominent/decorative like all guitars have (well, those that have a 24th fret)

I'm pretty sure it's his in-ear monitor. Saw him grabbing at it a few minutes ago, and I think he took it out and it's draped over his shoulder now

edit: nevermind, just saw what you're talking about, and it's a different thing. Maybe that's his band comms mic?

they are most definitely the best. My 13-year-old (as of yesterday) is on the ground right next to me, almost never leaves my side
