I also had some challenges cleaning up mic bleed wherever I could. My first mix seemed to have no stereo separation, so I got a bit more liberal with some panning and it sounds a bit better, but only a little louder overall. I also took the mono guitar track and sent it to a stereo bus then found a complimentary delay. Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
A lot of balance refinements were made in the mix, enough to allow the kick and snare drums, and the vocals, to move substantially forward. The Passive EQ in Mid-Side mode gave much better stereo separation than the directional mixer.
Hi Dave
I see you have captured the elusive John Bonham Drum Sound!! LOL!
I Kinda like it.
I love your blow by blow commentary!
Its always cool to experiment and go outside the box.
Good Job!
Its time to remix mine now..I might steal the JB Idea from you
Cheers

Crush, limit, ultra-fast attack, very slow release.
Very cool! Love those Bonham drums.
Good day,

Hi Dave, listening to these drums and wow, this is definitely and acchievement unlocked! Last version is the one for me (because the more the better, ain't it?) though bass hat/kick/snare could be just 1/2 dB lower and the bass could give half a step forward to compensate. Also, drum fills sound incredible!
Main vocal sounds excellent, though I'm not so sure about how prominent is the male BV, since he doesn't seem to glue so well with her.
The mandoline sounds louder than the guitar, that's a shame. That guitar is well played, inventive and isolated. First part of the solo is specially offensive.
But again, those drums are LP quality!
