Marty.
What a fantastic song you and your team have produced
Holy Toledo Marty 74 tracks! that is epic 😵 , I hope you had access to gallons of coffee not to mention a good defrag program for your brain after the wrap .
Sounds like you had the classic 'I-can't-delete-anything-because-it-might-be-important' production technique. I've Been there. May the mixing gods have mercy on your ears...and your rendering times.
I really enjoy your animated vocals on this. Your vocals have a unique ability to draw me into the story that you are telling which never fails to be a fun listening experience. Great how you set the scene with the audience/band interaction with the band kicking in with that infectious fun groove. Dave Bell's guitar solo? Shredding like he's trying to pay off a student loan! The crowd's enthusiasm occasionally swallowed the lead vocals whole, which proves two things: 1) They were really into it, and 2) Sound guys have nightmares about live recordings. But honestly, who cares? This track sounds like it was a monumental undertaking, a true Herculean effort. And you know what? We, the listeners, are the lucky gods feasting on the ambrosia of your musical labour. Thanks for the joyful indigestion!"
An added personal bonus is that your song brought back fond memories of visits to "The Big Easy" ( pre Katrina) .
Oh and about that explaination: ♀♂
"Sounds like a typical rowdy night... if your night involves a PTO-approved euphemism for sex, a rogue "Grooove dat!" screamer, and a drummer heading to Bourbon Street (hopefully with a designated driver...and maybe a conga). The real question is: did the Neville Brothers show up with their PTO-approved euphemism, and did it involve beignets?" nudge nudge wink wink 😜
All around an excellent song and production Marty. I enjoyed it thoroughly ! 💯 ✔️ 🆗 👋 👍

Gentlemen, dat is some groovy pie!
Love the groove
As usual the vocal, bass, guitar lead, and mix are spot on.
I really liked this one. D'anks, Mario. Dat makes me smile. ACE work Marty, Dave & Bill!
The human elements lift this into the stratosphere...or is that "stratocasts this"?
BIG sound from a big mix - I bet the screen stunned your eyes more than once.
The "Groove that" bvocs seemed, once or twice to get in the way of the superb lead vocal but it did give the live feel a nudge up too.
Loved it. Thanks, Ray. You're right about the mixing screen. Daunting with a lot of scrolling. Fortunately I took the trouble to keep it somewhat oranized. I should've ducked those harmonies behind the lead, but (again and as usual) you're right about it adding to the live ruse. I even came in late with the first bass note just to add to the illusion.  At least that's what I said to myself when I realized it. Marty,
You and your cohorts have a great song and production on your hands. Sounds like it was recorded live at a county fair. Well,, 74 tracks is a bit much! But you managed each expertly - hats off for that!
SInce I don't use a DAW, the envelopes and buses don't mean much to me - other an envelope will eventually get my letter delivered, and a bus will get me across town for a buck-and-a-half. I just wing it with BIAB and Audacity - literally.. But this is pro-sounding stuff! Excellent woprk.
Alan Thanks, Alan. I'm blown away that you don't use a DAW; your productions are masterful events. Sounds like a good time in NOLA! Personally I may be getting a little long in the tooth for day drinking and all night partying but believe you me I know a good time when I hear it. 74 tracks? That’s a crazy amount of time and energy spent. But it sure sounds like fun. Good job to you and the band. Movin and shaking my way out of here. Thanks, Tom. Probably the only bad times in NOLA come after a particularly good time there.  Yeah, I don't hang around with that drummer after gigs anymore. You still got the moves, Tom. Wow, ambitious project! Really liked the energy in this. Had me tapping my feet. Was playing my harmonica to it. Can't do any better than that. Great job! Thanks, Bob. My favorite part is you playing harmonica with it. Man, you are so good on that thing, especially the chromatic harp. Do more of those!!

This pie looks pretty tempting, Marty. I'm going to have another slice.
Laurent Haha. Gotta quench that appetite, Laurent. “There are 74 active tracks in the mix, 18 with at least one envelope.
Although there are 5 Buses, it was crazy to mix –or maybe the crazy part was me.
There are 19 drum tracks, and 12 audience tracks, 2 vocal and 8 harmony tracks.”
Help! How do we stop the head spinning?
Man, we time out after 8 tracks or so. Wow.
We enjoyed the vibes that are similar to Dr. John and even some early Little Feat.
Bill’s washboard and harmony fits in a fine mix along with your and Dave’s excellent performances.
(Dave’s solo is happy per Janice. 😊 )
Thanks for the explanation of the audience reaction.
In addition to the crowd sounds it made us feel as though Scotty beamed us right there to your concert.
FUN!
J&B HAHAha. I mentioned those track specifically to get your attention, Bud. I remember your reaction once when I mentioned using 20+ tracks. See, you guys can make sensational music with just a few tracks, but... Yeah, I thought the same thing too, Janice, about Dave's happy sounding solo. He always manages to fit the song perfectly. Bill is a multi talented musician and a huge benefit is that he lives close by. Hey, give me Scotty's number cuz I want him to beam me down to Georgia. Hey, there's a title, Beam Me Down To Georgia. Terrific live audience at an outdoor concert. Worth all the production work.
Mike B. Thanks, Mike. Yeah, those concert goers took a lot of time to tame --even had to call in security once.

Loved the audience crowd noise interspaced throughout the song. Easy to imagine this being a live performance.

Marty- I'm digging the cool second line street beat. You are definitely channeling some Dr. John vibes! Sounds great! Thanks, Steve. The band before us and the one after had a great horn section, and I swear I saw you there. Marty.
What a fantastic song you and your team have produced

All around an excellent song and production Marty. I enjoyed it thoroughly ! 💯 ✔️ 🆗 👋 👍 Wow, Izzy. Best comment ever!! Thanks so much for taking the time (and getting the spelling right -hah). Seriously, man, you words are a framer for sure. You're right, it is a great place to visit. My last time there was 2019. Gotta get back there. Let me know when you will be there. Excellent song, fun to play on. Thanks for the invite! On behalf of all the listeners, thank YOU, Dave. It was pretty crowded on that stage, huh? Glad you filled it out with some great playing. Cool groove Marty. Loved the live feel. Really well done. Thanks, Scott. Glad you were there. Loved the audience crowd noise interspaced throughout the song. Easy to imagine this being a live performance. Thanks, Mark. When the crowd cheered for Cryil the conga player, I knew the audience should be explained.
