One of the tightest band performances with the cleanest mix I’ve ever seen

[@hansjoseph__]

Dudes has worlds best FOH!

[@asarsalari]

Yes, absolutely sick mix and the band is on point

[@MattRandallProductions]

Gotta be honest, I don't think the mix you are hearing here is what was played live. Watch his solo. He's clearly hitting notes that are not audible. Also watch the official music video and then listen to this one straight after. It is almost identical.

[@TheTapMusic]

@@MattRandallProductions There's absolutely a ton of post production goin on here; I wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple takes of the song, and while the audio was comped, the video was edited from one take, hence things not lining up exactly. There's also some background vocals that are coming from somewhere else, and at the top you can clearly see them all getting a count in, indicating they're playing to tracks. Doesn't detract from the musicianship on show here, this band is full of world class musicians who are more than capable of pulling off a fantastic live performance, just a production choice for whatever reason.

2:37 _LOOK!_ He keeps soloing, but it's inaudible; then the footage cuts to the wide-shot where his left-hand and stance suddenly shift. (As a guitarist myself, I can assure you that the video and audio do not match here!) *Conclusion:* There must have been more takes edited together; the sound does sound like one take throughout, and this band plays incredibly well

[@sanketa6370]

Sharp eye!

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]

Nops it might be the reason he just muted the strings

[@musicofcorey]

Look at 2:30 as well. There's a bend in the audio but not in this performance

[@hawaiirealmedia5610]

I'd guess the music is indeed one take. But the shot you are talking about is a video insert from another take, but it's video only. The inserted video is not a perfect match for the music that is of from master audio take, therefore you see the sync error, which shows the differences in performances, visually. This could have been done to cover up some visual mistake, like the camera not in focus, some tech glitching in the video, or some lighting problem. The video insert is covering up something, but they had to suffer the sync error to fix the issue. Most people would never notice the sync problem, but you, sir, have a good eye. I work in pro video, so I can spot it too, but most people wouldn't notice at all. You should be a video editor; that's what editors look for!!!

[@caseyacrabtree]

I feel like it’s pretty noticeable if you play guitar, definitely if you are a video editor
