This was a typical board mix- lots of vocals, drums were noticeably higher than the guitar. I was able to take Izotope rx and drop the vocals, boost the guitars/bass and it came out pretty nice! The mix fluctuates but it evens out a few minutes in.

I filmed fIREHOSE at Cattle 3 or 4 times. I picked this one because it sounds good and it was during my favorite tour. Brian, do you remember why you did this one at the4 Eagles hall and not cattle?

I have always felt that this was the best fIREHOSE video I shot- best sound and performance. The problem was that this Eagles hall (like a VFW hall) had high flourescent lighting that cast shadows over Ed and Mike. I was able to fix it enough in Adobe Premiere Elements and neat video to at least see their faces. It’s a big improvement from the original version.
