Live recording

Hi all
While I've done a lot of live sound mixing for a lot of years, I'm relatively new to live recording. Here's a sample from a show I mixed and recorded last week.

I would appreciate any comments/criticisms of the recording and mixing. Gear used was by no means top of the line but I'd like to know if you guys think I'm on the right track here.

Live recording

I like to tape gigs with a minidiscplayer (direct out from the mixer), mostly for documentation. However, I don't like the way the compressed minidiscsound is. I've looked at the Alesis Masterlink, and it has what I want, 24bit uncompressed recording.

Line 6 Pod Live XT, direct and amped for recording

I found the Line 6 is good for heavy, straight ahead recording. It seems that building up in volume and feed back cannot be done with this pedal board unless you plug it into an amp and mic it. Players that use volume control and varied picking may have issues. It seems to defeat the direct recording that the POD was made for.
