Too much bass, December 15, 2006
This review is from: Riviera Theatre - Chicago Il 11/8/05 (Audio CD)
I bought this Bauhaus recording, Instant Live: Riviera Theatre - Chicago, IL, 11/8/05, when Tower Records closed their stores. Bauhaus themselves sound good, but there is far too much bass in the mix. The bass is so overpowering in the mix that it is annoying. I threw a bass reducer equalizer preset in iTunes on it to make the vocals and guitar stand out better. Bauhaus sound fantastic - tight and energetic. Maybe the other nights from this tour are mixed better? I know some of the nights don't have In Fear of Fear or Bela Lugosi's Dead, so be careful which night you buy. This particular night, 11/8/05, is worth buying for serious Bauhaus fans. Maybe this can be remixed and re-released? I'd like to hear some of the other nights for comparison.

CD-R release, April 10, 2007
This review is from: Riviera Theatre - Chicago Il 11/8/05 (Audio CD)
BEFORE YOU BUY - keep in mind that this a CD-r release (as are all Instant Live releases as far as I know). The previous comment about the sound is accurate. All of the concerts in the series sound good, but require a certain amount of equilization.
