Mix 5
Re-balance and re-automate the guitars. Enhanced the environment.

As always comments, inquiries and banter is appreciated.

great mix! but since you seem to be going for perfection i'll go into nitpicking mode :
the large reverb somehow gives a nice clarity/openess to the mix but is for me to obvious when she sings fe. 'if i can't have you here' (first lines), basically whenever there's a lot of space left by the instruments.
the bass feels a little ditached. i would open it up a little, make the connection with the guitars and organ.
round 2'20" and further you here the guitarscratching in the vocalmic when she's not singing. i would cut that out.
great kick! nice vocal! nice overall sound! peace

That is certainly nitpicking but all valid. The guitar in the vocal mic during the bridge makes you wonder where it comes from. However, since this is a live performance it seems not to be a real issue. It is an artifact of the clarity and compression of the vocal. I may consider a fix. Thank you.

I do often wonder if I missed the rule that stated reverb was not to be heard, only sensed.

The bass is tied to the kick not the guitars and certainly not the organ. My snare is connected to the chop guitar on the left.

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate your time and ears.
