If they were cribbing from Moby Grape, they just had to be doing the same thing to Spirit

C'mon now!!!! The story behind Beat It is well documented with extensive interviews on the subject with Luke which are all over the web(Sunset sound interview is one that comes to mind). And you come up with this lame ass(and wrong!!!) story about Beat it??????? There is soooooo much technical info about Eddie splicing the tape to be able to play over a different section and the SMPTE timecode was all fucked up afterwards and Luke and Jeff had to save the day and rerecord it and you come up with this?????? I really like your content but you get a serious thumbs down on this one.

Masterpiece

If magiciens would explain how they perform their trics with lovely girls cut in two parts or white rabbits being turned into a guinea pig, it wouldn't be magic anymore. Same with legendary albums... Those vivi- or disections spoil the mystery around it.

the tarantino of mix engeneers

Great sound in your recording at the end 👍

U87 is much richer.

Unfortunately - and with all due respect as I enjoy and appreciate your videos - your list of mics used to record the drums on the album is inaccurate and based on more recently available information for miking setups Steve Albini was known to use in the years immediately preceding his death and _not_ on direct knowledge of what Albini used on Grohl's drums at Pachyderm Studios. Something which, we don't have much of sadly. The only mics we _KNOW_ Steve used to record Grohl's drums were the Lomo 19-A9's which he auctioned several years ago and which were used as a spaced pair of overhead microphones (as well as the main mic in the 3 mic setup to record Cobain's vocals). As for the rest of the mics you listed, perhaps only one or two of them are "likely" to have been used as you stated here and are all sourced from more recently available information of day to day setups Albini used at Electrical Audio and not during the _In Utero_ sessions. For instance, the two Josephson Engineering mics you listed - the e22s and C-42 - were not even in existence in March of 1993 and so obviously were not used. Steve first developed the e22s with David Josephson a year after _In Utero_ was recorded, in 1994. The "Jolly modded" Oktava MK-012's were also likely not used as they were something Steve used commonly during smaller, more informal sessions and it is _much_ more likely that Steve used a pair of Altec M11 "coke bottle" tube microphones as the ambient mics placed on the floor. He used them in this role much more commonly during that time and throughout his life on "bigger" sessions (or more frankly put, sessions he cared more about) and when he was less worried about them incurring damage. Also, statements he made to people like Manny Nieto would also indicate it is likely that he used the M11's as the room mics on _In Utero._ As for the Beyerdynamic M380 on kick drum, that is also unlikely as although he owned M380's, back then he was primarily using them on bass cabinets. In the 1990's through early 2000's, Albini was often using Electro Voice RE20's, AKG D112's or Beyer M88's. Besides the Lomo's, the only truly "likely" mics on your list at that time would have been the Countryman Isomax (but at that time it would have been it's predecessor the Crown GLM-100) on the beater side of the kick and the Altec M175 on snare top. Although it could just as likely been a Sony C-37P on snare top. I could go on but the point is that beyond the two Lomo 19-A9's, it's all conjecture as to what Albini used to record the drums on _In Utero._ To the point that it really is misleading to put up that list and say "the mics used to record the drums on _In Utero_ were likely..." I think you would have been better served to have said something like "In recent years, Steve often used a setup which consisted of (these mics) and likely used them in a similar manner to whichever ones he used to record _In Utero."_ Also, on your list you put the Neumann "C-42" (mixing Neumann and the Josephson C-42) but I'm pretty sure - considering I know where you got your list from - you meant the stereo small diaphragm tube condenser Neumann SM2 that Steve often used in front of the kit to record cymbals in the last several years of his life. Another mic that I would say was very unlikely to have been used on _In Utero._ It's far more likely Steve used his personal AKG C-24 or the one which Pachyderm has owned since before 1993. I hope you do not take this to be critical in a negative manner as it certainly is _not_ meant that way. I appreciate your videos very much and only hope to help where and when I can. _In Utero_ is one of my two favorite albums (the other being Talk Talk's _Spirit Of Eden)_ of all time and the most important album of my life as far as the effect and influence it's had on me. I think it's Nirvana's masterpiece. Thanks again for another fun video.

Really really really fking good album

Don felder did not sing on takes of the song Hotel California..Don Henley sang it a few times and decided it was in the wrong key .. they changed it and it worked …there was never any question of Don Felder singing it …Don Felder tried Victim of love but couldn’t get it right ..this is no bad reflection on Don Felder ..as Glenn Frey said “I sang less and less on purpose..because we had Don Henley “…by the way it was the 5 th album also😊

The Eagles played together with Jethro Tull and stole the song Hotel California from a Tull song called, We Use to Know, it's the same song, FACT!! Someone asked Ian Anderson about suing the Eagles, but he didn't care, which is kind of cool but it's the same song, check it out!

Sir 🎉🎉🎉🎉thanks for the info. I can con cour to your love for the JV series see i too have the Whole JV Line cards including the dance card and Keyboards of the 60s and 70s card too.i own the original JV80,JV1010,JV1080 JV 880,SRX series XV series XV88,XV3030 XV5080

Your videos deserve better viewership.

Shouldn’t the bass be a picked muted note for more attack and less scoop?

Where did you find out he mixed blue’s self titled. I can’t find anything beyond street being the producer. Love this album.

What a SONG !! It's a great GEM #Prince was a genius in his time and musical unique talent when i hear it this makes me cry the entirily récord and lyrics are full of heart and mind RIP #Prince Its 40 years of this beautiful SONG .1984-2024 💯💯💯 Bravo👏👏👏

I remember going clubbing the night before queuing up for tickets to see them on this tour, at Wembley. Different from when I had bought my ticket to the Unforgettable Fire tour from a travel agents a few years before.

Bob and Metallica should reunite next time round

Love this. Great job producing this video. ✨

It was victim of love that felder’s lead vocal was replaced by henley. Right?

Holy crap, this shit's complicated. Gotta say, ya lost me at.. How do they do it?

The amount of work in this album is incredible. Total perfectionists.

Fascinating video! Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

Robert Margouleff said Superstition was already written and recorded but was gonna give Jeff beck SS as a swap for playing guitar on another song, luckily Robert and Berry Gordy everyone was like wtf no why would u give that song away its gonna be a huge hit? so he gave him another song instead, forget the name tho currently🤧

I’ve just read John Illsley’s autobiography - so it was nice to find out some more about such an interesting time. Many thanks.

33 edits, and people whine about today's editing.. as someone who has done this for a long time,... musicicians have been lying about the talent for decades. Once multi tracking came, it all went down.

Thanks for this very informative video. Nicely done. 🇺🇸

Sabbath wreaked havoc not only with recording engineers in studios but apparently other bands as well lol!

❤ This Record!😊This is my First Album that I bought in the fall of 77!Five bucks and some,Literal,change!For the Rest of My Life as well,for the Eagles and the Fans!😊❤😎❣

Great video!

Abbey Road sounds incredible even to this day. Not just because of the music but the jump in sound quality was just insane. It showcased all their musical talents, especially Ringo who I always thought their production never did his skills justice prior to Abbey Road. Maybe Revolver

Love your videos. This is another winner.

this is gold, tks man. Saludos

Another banger! Cheers, brother.

How long until crotchy Henley copyright strikes this?

It was their 5th studio album, not the 4th. Eagles, Desperado, On the Border, One of These Nights, then Hotel C!

Awesome video 🤙

Great insight into a classic album. Thanks so much for another awesome video:)

Lovely stuff as always. Thanks for all your videos and hard work this year, looking forward to (hopefully)more in ‘25.

"Too many people paying parking fines... Too many hungry people losing weight." Greatest line. Just shows what idiots the NME and Rolling Stone rags really are. Awesome album and I'm not that crazy about McCartney.

Wow. And Geffen wanted to walk away? Shows you how much the Record Labels really know.

Love the quote 'making a record is about the vibe'. How true. This is an excellent series.

I was always aware of the part Sting played in the making of *Brothers in Arms.* What I didn’t know was that Dire Straits had also recruited Omar, who had also accompanied Sting in 1985, to add his drum stylings.

Wonderful

This is immense

I'm glad i still own the original pressing of the BIA CD. The subsequent ones ruined the dynamics with the added compression and mid-bass boost EQ, and rolled-off treble.

Thank you!!

Not much on how Terry Williams felt after having all his parts re-recorded. Hard to imagine why he stayed with the band to tour. Paycheck's a paycheck, I guess...

Why is Your Time is Gonna Come connected to Black Mountain Side. Why cant we get a version with a fade out??
