Killing it is a stretch. This was for a great cause and I hope they raised a lot of money, but the sound mix was pretty terrible. St Vincent's vocal was especially bad, seemed like she had issues with her monitors. But even the overall mix didn't sound very good.

I know getting the mix right with all these bands coming on and off stage is a huge undertaking, but it was just a bit disappointing. It does get a bit better as it goes on, but yeah not great.

100% agree on the sound, it's been pretty shit for most of the artists sets I've watched. But seeing Krist, Dave, and Pat playing together? Awesome. Loved Annie and Kim's vocals, Joan sounded alright, and Violet doing All Apologies with them was more emotional than I expected.
