It sounds gigantic, smooth and clear(ssl with LA2a), rocking (tubes) & punchy (1176).

What to do live?
Not sure about using tube stuff in a show. Or having so much cable to go wrong.

Was thinking:
1) TC Helicon stuff? (voicelive)
2) Portico pre with portico compressor before and after analog eq?
(Stuff I have)
3)Mic will no doubt be a Beta58 or similar. Rock. Spill. etc.

Any suggestions/comments?
Had the same problem til I found an old mixer from the sixties. Vocals went from skinny to large.
