Don't forget - these are *soundboard* recordings, made & mixed the
night of the show.  I don't think they had the opportunity to raise
or lower tracks after the fact.

The vocals are loud because they have to be cranked through the house 
PA in order to be heard above the instruments.  That's why Roger seems 
to be sitting on your shoulder singing in your ear.

And that's also the reason why the individual shows each sound some-
what different.  The vocals at each venue have to be mixed accordingly
to get the best sound.  Same with the instruments, as well.
