I listened to Patrick's bits on the remastered YESSHOWS disc last
night,the first I'd heard it in ages.Why did his tron sound SO bad??I
have a video of him with the band that sounds terrible as well.Very
bassy sounding,no balls,and a peculiar eq "honkiness".It certainly
didn't sound that way on REFUGEE,RELAYER,or when he joined the
Moodies.I recall he had made his own tapes so perhaps that's part of
it.It also sounded so dry...no reverb.(unlike the studio tracks)
