| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @skyscraper: There's a great video on YouTube, in which the current owner of the Big Pink house is visited by Garth Hudson. I gotta go there before I die. An old friend (one of the guys who saw Dylan & The Hawks) and I were in the early stage... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @stevewarton: And shortly after that Dylan learned Grossman had cut himself into Bob's songwriting publishing. That was the end of Grossman. Greedy bastard! | |
| Personality Type? Hmm @wolf_garcia, depends on what is meant by background. I had a session for one song for a movie soundtrack, and after the first take the engineer/producer asked me to play more like Keith Moon (of whom he was and remains a big fan). The singer ... | |
| Component placement for open baffles? Cool @hleeid, whatta ya got, Spatial Audio Labs? I don’t have open baffles, but I have a long history with planars, with which ob’s have much in common. Yes, the lack of output to the sides of both ob’s and planars mitigates the degree of both sid... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @tostadosunidos and @wolf_garcia: Love Procol Harum! With organist Matthew Fisher at least. Those first three albums are astoundingly good. I didn’t see them live until the Home album tour, after Matthew had departed. I didn’t like that album at a... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @crustycoot: My intent in mentioning Abbey Road was not to diminish that album, but rather to draw a distinction between The Beatles and The Band, relating back to Graham Nashes holding those two bands up as the two best in the world. Prior to ev... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Yeah @edcyn, The Band really separates the men from the boys ;-) . I didn’t get Music From Big Pink at all when it was released. I was confused (and perturbed) that many of the people who shared my musical taste loved it, and I couldn’t relate to ... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Interesting @larsman. As we all know, ya gotta play the hand you're dealt. Not everyone can be a John Prine or Robbie Robertson (or John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell, Iris DeMent, etc.), so has to be content being in a Stadium Rock Band. Waters---even wi... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @sokogear: Michael Ludwig (45 RPM Audiophile on YouTube) has done a video in which he compares his MoFi 45 RPM 2-LP version of Kind Of Blue with his Analogue Productions 33-1/3 RPM 1-LP. I think he may have already compared the new AP 45 RPM 2-LP ... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? @nicolelynn_94115: Oh man, I forgot about the FMI 80! Talk about value!! I didn’t have the 80, but I had Robert Fulton’s Model J, which employed the 80 as it’s midrange reproducer. For highs it was the RTR ESL tweeter box (containing 6 ESL tweeter... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @whart said it all! By the way, some of the MoFi LP’s made in the past 15 years WERE "cut" (the lacquer) from analog tapes (presumably a "production"/aka "safety" copy---usually 1/4" 15 IPS---of the 2/ch mix master, though some original studio ma... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Yup @bdgregory, Testimony is a surprisingly (to me) great book, probably the overall best I’ve read on The Band. I love the scene Robertson recounts, in which Dylan is listening to the test pressing of MFBP, and when "The Weight" ends he asked who... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Everybody knows about Marshall Crenshaw, but his first release was not the debut album on Warner Brothers---produced by Richard Gottehrer (Blondie's original producer, previously a member of The Strangeloves of "I Want Candy" renown), but rather a... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Dang Bill, I forgot you put me in contact with Jim. I have his CD The Floating Zone right here in front of me, gonna give it another spin after dinner. Terry plays clavinet on one song. | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them "I don’t think there was deceit." I not only think it, I know it. There is a clip floating around on YouTube, in which one of the MoFi people is asked point blank if their mastering chain is 100% pure analog. He responds with a very unambiguous "... |
