Great vocals !

Good Vocals, I noticed the keyboard level stayed the same volume didn't get louder for solo(already loud enough) and then didn't turn down after solo, obviously 2nd guitar solo was inaudible on that recording. Boy wish I could sing like de gals, very nice.

Cool vid! Constructive observations...

White shirt guitar guy is trumped in the mix.
--- his intro sounded cut off in the mix when everyone else joined in
--- his solo was overshadowed by dominant keys

Keyboard guy
--- very hot in the mix - good player but just very upfont
--- switched to organ in the first guitar solo and layed back but was then in the white shit's midrange turf
--- then when white shirt took his solo he switched back to keys and was dominant

To me what I hear could be sound problems so I don't want to say more. But this - your band sounds mixed like a rock band not a jam band. White shirt was absent from the mix at times. Keys were too much on top at times. Couldn't tell one guitarist from the other at times. I think that is your great opportunity.

Chick singers sound good and fun

Good response from fans

Your band sounds well rehearsed

I hear lots of good potential!

I like it. The keyboard reminds me of Skynyrd.

That was pretty good IMO. Good keyboard solo and agree with SS's comments. As for the video itself, lights always help the quality.

What state is this in? There is a Rockland near me...

The Rockland Bar and Grill is in Raleigh, NC.

Ah. Well, 800 miles is closer than some places, I guess. There is a Rockland, MA about two towns over from me that would have been more convenient. Good band, by the way.

Vocals definitely were fantastic. There was a lot of good playing in there as well but the heads down playing took a little bit away from it for me. It's ok to look down at the axe from time to time but I like to see a little more looking into the crowd. There is a shyness factor in there that needs to be dealt with IMO.

Song sounded really great and I would have been very glad to be shot in one hand, beer in the other at the bar that night.

DynaSound1, do you hear what we did based on feedback?

Where did Big Boss Man go?

SS,

No...didn't hear....what did you do?

as for the Big Boss Man..he's still around.

Great front singer
