This great War show just surfaced at The Traders Den on February 1, 2021 when it was shared by good1. I haven't seen it on any blogs yet. The recording while very listenable is not without some flaws. Like all soundboards I have heard from Rockefeller's in Dallas Texas the vocals are very high in the mix while the instruments for the most part are lower in the mix. This is probably to do with the size of the venue. At smaller clubs things like drums, bass and electric guitar can be heard fine being low in the mix due to their loud nature. Vocals usually run louder than these instruments in a small club so that they may be heard over the much louder instruments. This is still a great show and a nice 3 hour listen!
