  • this show is just unreal!!!

  • I couldn't agree more with his opinion of Kevin's sound. I heard the closest-to-album guitar sound to any band when I heard Kevin play in Sarasota last month. It was very close to the album sound. 3eb fans are missing alot nowadays, but I am excite for Kevin to move on with new material!

  • Another great show! Eric Valentine is truly an extension of my own heart. I am so grateful for all you do Dave and Herb. I am learning so much.....

  • Thanks Dave. Great show again!!

  • With that special ceiling over the drums there are no issues left...

  • never thought about that!this is just amazing shit!

  • I am becoming a way better engineer because of this show, thank you guys so much for doing this. I am prob going to watch them all a few times once I get through it once.

  • yeah, i feel a bit awkward when at the start of the show they talk about their guest in the 3d person at his presence, that's not exactly polite

    in my opinion it'd be more ethical so to speak to introduce the guest right from the beginning so they don't look like a stage prop, and involve them in the dynamics of the program

  • Love the way how you played The Batter's Box this time. Please do it more like that. cheers!

  • holy shit the robot is rad

  • no one knows over back in black? I geuss if you think analog sounds dull I can see how you could arrive at that....
