Overall it's pretty good. There's a couple of minor things that jump out at me. It's a fairly thick sounding mix but I think that works for a live song like this. I think it might be too wet and that might be effecting clarity.

The low end feels good but I kinda wish the bass guitar was more defined. The toms could be thinned, they're too fat in the low-mid region.

I think the mandolin could come out. I know I wasn't a fan of it or its tone but it feel buried, especially in the solo and that's one of the few things that a casual, non-audio person will notice. They don't care much about tone but get bothered by quiet solos. And don't even get me started about musicians. So feel free to put it out front. Yeah, it's your job to make it sound (as good as you can) but it's not your fault it's a mandolin. The electric guitar is occasionally peaky. Is it the source of the noise in the bridge?

The vocals sound good. Nothing to complain about there which is the most important thing. I like the effects. Subtle but adds some ear candy.

Good job. Hope that helps.

Yeah all really great points. I agree now I've had a second listen that the low end is a little chonky and the toms are probably a little too dominant. So yeah, really good pick ups. I also agree it might be a little moist as well. Good to have an objective listen.

Yeah, about that mandolin. I just couldn't be bothered with it hahaha but yeah. I agree. I'm a big fan of the guitar in this track. The guy playing it knew what he was doing and I soaked it in delay for the solo.
