Joe, I haven't chimed in for a while with all the insanity around us now...hope you are keeping your sanity through all this. Your presentations are like a oasis in the desert for a musician like me. I am so grateful you captured this moment with all these heros. This is a national treasure and without you most of these things would never have happened and would be lost to the ages. The entire interview is great but my favorite part (other than Hal's insane sense of humor-of course) is the way Jim stole everyone's thunder with that really inspiring story at the end. Kudos to you brother! Bob M.

Hey Joe...im a musician myself of 40 years...been on the road and in the studio. I really enjoy your channel and your guests and your interviews. Its beyond cool to hear the stories behind the music I love and grew up listening to with the musicians directly involved. I eat up these stories like this. Look forward to many more, kind sir!

Thank you for sharing. RIP Hal Blaine & Earl Palmer. I read somewhere that Hal Blaine was the most recorded musician ever. There definitely were some of the best musicians in the wrecking crew.

Chad is loving life. Must be awesome to hang out with Hal, Jim, and Earl.

[@tequilaal]

Back in 64" .. when I was 15 I was practicing and playing along with records .. working out with an Earl Palmer album ... it was thrilling when I finally got the hang of "One Mint Julep"! ..( got the hang,but not his amazing breaks:-) Look up One mint julep (Drumsville album) some tough licks in there even by today's standards ! :-) ... I have to admit I got a little misty here, seeing and hearing this humble man .. man oh man the great Earl Palmer! thank you for this! ..

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Glad you enjoyed it Alan.... Joe

[@andyinoregon]

It's no coincidence that my favorite track "Any World" on Steely Dan's 1975 album "Katy Lied" was the one track on the album where Hal Blaine played the drums. He made the outro to that song the most exhilarating finish to any Steely Dan recording.

Once again, these get together sessions are almost magic. These were the real guys who were there. I’m glad they touched on drum machines. Back in the early 80’s Goodman Music put on a mini Namm show (no affiliation) “in LA. Roger Linn introduced the Linn Drum, Featured on George Bensons hit, “Turn Your love Around” After the Demo and speech by Roger Linn, every drummer in walked out of the room in total disbelief.

The most fun part of this is watching Chad Smith. While a pretty decent drummer with the Chili Peppers, you can tell he is quite aware he is in the midst of drum legends. He almost is a stand in for the rest of us, watching and listening in awe of all that is being said!

[@Nagroddy]

Well said and quite accurate. Chad knows whose shoulders we all stand on as drummers and he is sitting there with three of them and he knows it. Good human being. Chad was a very good drummer very young and maybe had he grown up in the same era as these great legends he may have had a similar career. But he did Okay with The RHCPs.

[@rickpickard6513]

As he should be . Chad is not in the same league as these legends

[@Derickbass]

@@rickpickard6513 Of course not. I know that I am humbled and keep my ears and eyes open when I am in the presence of the greats!

[@hepphepps8356]

@@rickpickard6513I don’t dig the RHCP either, but Chad is not only a great player but also very much one of «them» when it comes to drummers. Humble, really, really nice and accepted by the greats. I once spent an evening in a bar around the table with a couple of Legendary jazz players and CS. His prescence was appreciated and they clearly viewed him as a peer.

[@MM180.9]

This is pure gold, could Paul Williams ( Chairman of ASCAP) help you animate some of these and have the guys tell their stories, such as Blaine having a drum roadie ahead of him w keys to all the studios.... Who would pay for these culled animation gems? Why the record companies of course to replay their past glory and promote " the good ol days" and spur more record sales? Or am i nuts? This is wayyyy too good for KZbin, needs a mini series or cd compilation. Go for it Mr Chambers, im sure advertisers would line up to help you find a way to broadcast these amazing stories and legends 🙏

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks MM....I really appreciate you watching and supporting us this way. What you’re saying would be fun but I don’t know what or how to get corporate sponsorships. That’s why I did it. I could’ve really done it right if I had the proper funding. Thanks again for watching...Best, Joe

[@fibboobbif]

Earl Cyril Palmer, Hal Blaine, RiP... Regarding Earl Palmer, who is considered the inventor of the word "funky" and one of the inventors of (backbeat) Rock n Roll drumming with Fats Domino, Little Richard and many others, Wiki writes: "When asked by Max Weinberg what more of the recording sessions he'd played on Palmer replied, "Don't ask me which ones I played on. I should have done like Hal [Blaine]. Hal used to get gold records for all the things he played on. I never did that, you know. I would like to have a room with all those things in them. It would have been nice-show my grandchildren when they grow up so they don't say, 'Oh shut up old man and sit down.' I could just say, 'Look. I don't have to tell you nothing. There it is."

It’s just great hearing these guys talk about the early parts of their careers. Regarding the political correction end of things. Back then it was a term of endearment, a way to show your friendship or love for that person by saying something that other people would consider offensive. I found it was more of an east coast thing. Great musicians, great people and also great relationships that produced so much great music. 👍👍👍
