On my way back to Chicago from Denver. Flew here on Friday to spend the weekend with a friend and go see Streetlight Manifesto.
The show was at the Mission Ballroom. All I can say is that, aside from Park West in Chicago, I’ve never been in a better sounding room… anywhere. It’s a new venue, 2019, and really hasn’t hosted many shows due to being pretty much closed for the C19 thing.
The mix was absolutely perfect. You could clearly make out both saxophones, the trumpet, trombone, bass, drums, guitar and vocals with perfect fidelity. It was incredibly clean. Without question, it was the cleanest sounding punk / ska-punk show I’ve ever seen.
Also of interest, I saw more crowd surfing last night that what I’ve seen in maybe the past 10-years collectively.
Absolutely a great show and was 100% a greatest hits set list. Completely my best birthday present to myself in the 52-spins around the sun I’ve taken.
