I know what they sounded like at the top of their game and you guys just flat-out nailed it. When you can copy Ann Wilson's vocals like that, your on to something. Ann & Nancy would be proud! Thanks for the nostalgia.

    Oh…my…gosh. That was … wow. Ya know, I liked the version of this one that you guys did previously, I thought it was pretty good. But this one… wow. She so NAILED those vocals. The vocal range on that song is crazy and she absolutely slammed it. She has obviously been working hard on doing that one, very nice. Everyone else did really great too, of course. And I have to call out the engineering. The effects on the mix were perfect, especially the vocals! Very nice. There’s a requisite choral/reverb balance for the vocals on that song you just have to get right, if you want to do that song right. Easy to over do, get bleed, saturation, clipping, over compress, etc. I have to say, you guys have seriously mastered the art of doing covers. These iconic songs have so many nuances that you have to work HARD to reproduce. Any really good band CAN do them, but getting all the little details just right… wow, that is hard. And it’s so different from one band to another, each singer, each original musician had these little tricks and talents, special things they would do, certain vocal qualities. You guys have so mastered how to do “all that”. This one was really impressive. What’s more impressive… some cover groups get really good at targeting one particular group’s stuff, maybe they get good at original stuff from one or two groups. But you guys have covered such a broad spectrum of genres and unique sounds. And have done them really well. That’s amazing, really.

    4 of us are coming from Sturgis Michigan to LLB 2023, and I cannot wait! You guys help me relive some of my younger years through you "original flavor" covers. You guys put the emotion back in Rock! I will be 67 at the time, and this will be 50 years back on energy! Cannot wait. :)
