I have an Allman Brothrs instant live of a great show and the mix just keeps pissing me off (I love and am grateful for instant live. This one mix just bugs me) does anyone know if there is a way that I can remix this thing? Please.
Thanks.

You obviously can't extract the stems from the songs, but there are programs that will let you EQ, compress, fiddle with the stereo width, etc.
Anybody with a home recording setup will be able to help you (to a degree). For quick things, I tend to use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab. Even an old version will suit your needs. I'm not too hip to Audacity, but it's free, and folks I respect use it. Don't know about the details of the program, but information is here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Good luck.

Blooby, thank you.
A couple of quick questions for as I have no idea what I'm doing.
What I am trying to do is increase the piano which is buried in the mix and maybe reduce the vocals a tad. Do you think I would be able to do that?
Also what are "stems"?
Thanks!

Sorry. Stems are the individual files for each instrument, which you can't separate once it's mixed down to stereo.
In a word: no, you won't be able to adjust the levels of individual tracks. You can, however, futz with different frequencies (try cutting rather than boosting). For instance, let's say there is a boomy bass. That's overpowering a mix. You can shave off some of the boom with EQ or multiband compression. It all sounds like voodoo (and I believe MB compression still is), but once you get in there and start twisting knobs, you make make significant changes.
I use the Audio Cleaning Lab on a portion of the live downloads I get.
Check your PM
