His guitar still sounded good to my ears on the Lost Highway Concert DVD. Then on MSG DVD it was worse. And on The Circle Tour it reached a new level of bad. So I completely agree. His guitar sound is basically the only thing that is wrong with the Hyde Park bootleg from the radio. The crowd was amazing, Jon was great on some songs (weak on a few others), but Richie's tone really turns me off from listening to that show more often on my iPod.
