Overall pretty solid show, great service from the Bernie's staff, great venue, and great performance by Ripe! A few songs I wished they played, but oh well. They can't play everything. I will say that the mix was rather sub-par for what I'm used to at Ripe shows. My first time seeing them at Bernie's, I sort of just assumed it was the venue itself, but this time after hearing the Q-Tip Bandits open for them and sound MUCH better, I realized it was actually some combination of Ripe's backline plus their FOH engineer that yielded a mediocre mix. Kick had no punch, toms weren't even, horns could barely be heard half the time, guitar solos didn't seem boosted. And it wasn't where I was sitting, the whole venue sounded like that. Never fear though, I will continue to see Ripe live as it can only get better from here!
