It might be a liiitle to stale for my taste though, it feels a bit dry for being a live performance, so maybe some mixbus or some fx and distortion could be benefitial. Still i like the balances, but the vocals are a bit to dry and unprocessed. I know you said that you forgott the toms, well i sort of forgot the vox harmonies so i know it can happenbut i didn't feel like they really contributed that much anyway.
Touching on that mixbuss suggestion, RUN A REAR BUSS!!!!!! It's magical. Of course nothing can polish a turd, but if you've got a nice sounding mix going (particularly this works well with live mixes where there isn't much dB automation), add some energy to it by routing most of everything aside from drums and bass through a secondary STEREOBUSS aux that's a bit more compressed than your master send (unless you're not using any compression on the master send, which can REALLY make a difference using this technique). Bring that fader up slowly to your liking and BAM. Has about 50% more energy it did prior. Of course I wouldn't suggest doing this on every single mix, as everything has it's thing, but play around with the technique.
