Hi there, this is essentially a great mix but I do wonder whether it would be improved considerably by backing off the master buss compression / limiting considerably. I'm a sucker for loud mixes myself, but with this type of dynamic, organic live music, I feel it needs a lot more room to breathe. Once the whole band kicks in the LU range is 3 for pretty much the rest of the song, which is tiny. You'd get much more contrast between song sections if you increased that considerably.
Only other point is I wonder whether the reverb and distortion on the lead vox are a touch overdone? That's a personal thing obviously, but I reckon you could back off the distortion quite a bit and still have a nice edge to the sound. (Are you using the Waves Butch Vig vocals plugin by any chance?)
Hope that helps, as I said overall it's a great mix but I think these points could improve it still further.
Cheers, Matt
