| engineering mistakes on recordings Unless it's a blatantly experimental, clever approach, I prefer a natural, realistic presentation of the instruments and voices. +1 for Steely Dan. | |
| ... Best Live Recordings ( other than Classical or Opera) on CD... Ry Cooder--Chicken Skin Live Hot Tuna--Hot Tuna (1st LP)Eric Clapton--UnpluggedNirvana--Live in New Yorkfirst two are analog (well, second one for sure).I agree with your assessment of Stop Making Sense. It's my fave concert movie. | |
| The Beach Boys bdp, it will no doubt end with a virtual reality experience which will allow anyone to see and hear exactly what Brian, Carol Kay, Hal Blaine, or any other of the participants heard and saw during every moment of the recording process. You'll be ... | |

| Your last concert was to see who and when? Last Friday (4/1/16), Kevin Burke at Fiddler's Green in Austin. Masterful Irish fiddling (as usual for him). | |
