Maybe we should talk music.
Here’s some music I love: Bob&Tom recordings on YouTube of "Here Come the Mummies". I’m disappointed with HCTM CDs because they epitomize the term sterile - the difference is The Wall of Sound and isolated studio performance. The phrase "wall of sound" came to represent the effect of crowding all the musicians into one room where they would get into each other’s microphones. This effect was prominent when studio artists were producing nearly all the music for public consumption. http://www.wreckingcrewfilm.com/
Fleetwood Mac’s DVD performance of The Dance.
Led Zeppelin frustrates me because they never mic’ed up and produced for detail. Ironically, they used tube amplifiers in their farewell concert "Celebration Day".
Eric Clapton’s unplugged version of Layla.
