Oh god yeah... I was even buying total SHIT quality bootleg live 7" when I 
got my Misfits obsession... makes Evilive sound positively 
over-produced!  I don't know how much of their poor live sound was the "too 
busy jumping around to play" and how much was the bass/guitars that Jerry 
and Doyle make being awful!!!!!  Unless they had some sorta "mud filter" 
put on everything.
