Cool.
How about a tag for Dallas Taylor?
He's 50% of that groove.

Hey, thanks timsteil. I'm looking forward to hearing this. I really like listening to raw studio outtakes, the back-and-forth between musicians and engineers or producers, and that's even when I don't especially like the music. I actually have a pretty visceral dislike of CS&N, but that's irrelevant n this case. What I like is the peek behind the curtains.

In a similar vein, here's an FPP of mine from just a little while back, for those who might've missed it: just some blokes mucking around in the studio.

it's a lot different when you know you can't pro tool it to death later on, isn't it?

Oh my. Wow. Thank you *so* much.

Excellent stuff. Crosby's excellent 1971 album If I Could Only Remember My Name has a ton of outtakes floating around too. Basically a backing band of Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, with Crosby, Nash, Young, and Joni Mitchell singing. Pretty much gorgeous from start to finish.

Yes! I'll happily read a making-of article about an album I don't think is particularly good. I've also watched most of those Classic Albums docs.

Glad to see another greybeard on the blue. :-)

I will take pretty much any excuse for an opportunity to link to this performance of "Long Time Gone" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, and Tom Jones.

"you can't pro tool it to death"

You're not a sampler, eh?

Someone else wants a little more Dallas, too.

I was so stunned by and enamored of that performance that I made an FPP on it just over a year ago.

One of the best albums ever recorded, imo.

Great that they included the parts with Stills being an asshole for posterity.
