An Audio interview with the engineers who worked on the remasters. Beatles fans revel in B-Day The Beatles step into the digital age

I am listening to the The Complete Tall Sessions - which I have not heard in quite a while. I'd say they should have just put out the tapes/the whole thing as they were, without messing with them.

From Jambands.com Another thread with the track listing.

Speaking of the 1990s, check out today's Top Rock Songs (Billboard.com).

The sound has pretty much been removed in the last two re-releases of the cd. I don't buy records anymore, but I am curious to hear what Being There sounds like in that format.

Buy the boxsets, and send them to me. I will store them for you.

One of the reasons the bass sounds different on the latter albums is due to the rise of the band having a say in how things sound. There is a good interview in the The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions: The Official Story of the Abbey Road Years 1962-1970* with Paul about recording his bass. Of course, like most people, they were going for a sound that they heard while listening to various Motown releases. *The Complete Beatles Chronicle I have both of those books. It is amazing what the price is now to buy them.

I also have: Rehearsals for unreleased "The Band" album, The Band/Nashville Sessions, and a 2 disc B-Sides collection. The shows I have are: 10/9/1996 5/25/2005 8/5/2005 8/9/2005 10/10/2005 2/21/2009 (Mp3's only - that is how it was sent to me) There is a version of Dreams on the Cover Me With A Good Dream set from this show: 29 March 1995 - Fox Theater - Detroit, MI (Crowesbase link) It is amazing.

Sorry. I read it too quick.

I've listened to it a few times over the years, but it sounds weird to me. Of course, the configuration of the songs on the pre-Sgt. Pepper's cds is still weird to me, as I (and you) grew up with the Capitol versions.

I see your point, but I still look at them as whole. I guess it's just the way I learned to listen to them. Things certainly changed as they gained more power, and thus quit doing covers, and concentrated on their own songs.

And whoever wrote that review should know that they would not be playing Ozzy era songs even if there was not some lawsuit going on. They use to, of course, but Dio is not very fond of Ozzy, and I think it sounds wrong when he sings Paranoid or whatever anyhow. Some examples of Dio doing Ozzy era songs can be found on the album Live Evil (1982). I will give the guy props for knowing that Vinny did not play the drums on the Heaven and Hell album (it was Bill Ward).

If they took a look at their schedule, and the amount of time they had to make albums pre-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band they might think twice about such things. Also, I am not sure that today's method/fascination with giving albums grades/numbers/putting them into a list can be applied to something from the past. Or, rather, it makes no sense to me. That is probably due to the fact that I don't usually look at music that way. I may have Beatle songs I really like, but they were an album band. That is, the album is meant to be experienced as a whole, not each song as a separate deal.

That is a good description: Music Radar

That's right. He also played on her album Twelve.

I saw Moke. It was the same Mountain Stage show where I saw Jay Farrar. I have some shows, as well as, The Covers Collection, Foamfoot, Sweet Pickle Salad, and the Tall discs that mjpuczko sent me. There is also: Chris and Rich Robinson Birds of a Feather: Live at the Roxy 1. "Horsehead" 2. "Cursed Diamond" 3. "Over The Hill" (John Martyn cover) 4. "Magic Rooster Blues" (new Black Crowes song) 5. "My Heart's Killing Me" 6. "Better When You're Not Alone" (DVD only) 7. "Forgiven Song" (Rich Robinson solo song) 8. "Someday Past The Sunset" (previously unreleased C

You are right. It did not come up when I did a search the first time. February 10th 2002 (Crowesbase link)

It's this one, isn't it? January 27th 2002 (Crowesbase link)

The crackling noises were present in the actual recording of the show. It was due to a problem with the recording equipment. Now, you are making me think of my Led Zeppelin records. I am the third person to have them, and they were bought new. They are so wore, that they are mostly unplayable.

Since we are talking about side projects, and whatnot:

There were some threads about that show also. I thought it was terrible.

After Dawn is a great place to find answers to DVD burning questions. I have not burned any dvds in a while, but as I recall, I also have some that will only play if I use the computer to watch them. I have an old cheap stand alone DVD player, so I have always thought that had something to do with it. I used Nero to burn DVD files. I believe AVI files have to be made into DVD files before they will burn to a DVD, and thus, play in an DVD player. At least, for me that is how it was. I you look up How to convert AVI files at After Dawn, you will find a lot of information.

It could just be me. I have never really cared for any of their album covers, except for The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. Although, anything is better than the Three Snakes and One Charm cover art.

I believe there was a thread about this when it was first on TV. It must be in the Via Chicago Archives somewhere. I don't recall any information about the song up at A Sea Black With Ink. I think J Hamm has this episode at The DVD Project.

Whenever I see discussion such as this, I am reminded of my copy of Live at Leeds, which is very thick on one end of the record and normal size on the other end.
