The first solo Jerry lays down is blistering. Jerry's voice while a little gruff is still capable of portraying emotion and reaching for little vocal nuances. Dew is confident, well played and totally solid, but not a barn burner. Promised Land slams into an uptempo, peppy Bertha. This should have been on In The Dark instead of Tons. Push has a great, extremely lyrical solo. Brent uses the fiddle/violin effect I love so well.

Problems with recording plague Masterpiece. Second solo is a little wobbly then song just disintegrates. Nevertheless, as B material goes it's tight, well played. Tons of Steel? Why are they playing this? No one wants to hear it. Mickey gets a little worked up near the end of the solo and it has that popcorn machine effect on the beat but it holds together and doesn't ruin the song. Also, the bell sound that is on the studio recording is present here. Hell in a Bucket starts out rocking and with high energy. Phil is present even on a bluetooth speaker, and Brent's keys get a little lost in the mix at times, so I'll give it just a B for sound quality. Somehow you can just tell its in a huge concrete stadium.It's a little bright and sibilant on the highs. Overall, this is a decent sounding recording.
