To me Dave Grohl is the one person who has kept rock and roll alive I.E Sound City. Being a huge PJ fan, Dave is the one that realizes how music should be made. He is rock and roll's savoir. All tape!

Awesome documentary.

Decidedly not RnR, but I submit that every person who insists that the digital age hasn't changed things, or has made them better, should be required to sit done with a quality sound system and listen to;

Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat, and
Jazz at the Pawnshop

and get back to us.

dynamic range, instrument placement, ambiance, incidentals, that slight slide of brushes across snare, the depth of Warnes' vocals, the tinkle of dinnerware at 'the pawnshop' . . . so much more immersive, and demonstrative of what attention to sonic detail can offer. You can close your eyes and envision exactly where the sax is sitting, and the bass, and the piano, etc.

Unless you have the most boss PC based system ever, this will be a pale imitation, but a taste of what quality mastering can do.

That's what I loved about Otis Redding, he really put effort into the phrasing, soundstage and dynamics of his singing, listen to how he attacks the start of each phrase, it's like he's yelping in pain at what he has to say, then fades into despair. that and the strong horns set the entire mood of the song.

For those of you who didn't watch the concert, here is a song I'd never heard of before watching and its one of their very best IMO...

It's a cover of a punk band from the 80s called Fang:

Ahhh, thank you for the enlightenment NC, solid knowledge you have.

To touch on points you made earlier in this thread... first, I will be the first to admit that I don't exactly go out seeking great new music anymore, in the Myspace heyday I did (gosh, kinda miss it, found ALL kinds of great bands on MS)... but these days I'm pretty much relegated to local radio, my laziness I must admit.

If you have internet you can still find music to fit a particular taste out there... my point, and I didn't make it clear, is that the mainstream music media has forgotten rock, there doesn't seem to be an appetite from them for it like there used to be from them... "meh **** it, we're still making plenty of money off the The Black Keys so why bother with anything else?

And using TBK as an example doesn't make my tastes dated or narrow IMO, they're just OK in my book... not exactly what I consider rock, that's not to say that MY definition of rock is the be all end all, but I'd bet that I'm not alone in thinking that much of modern rock has been corporatized and emasculated.

Nirvana still appealed to me a decade ago when I was a teen. Their songs get a quick flip any time they come on the radio. Still, they were undeniably huge and important to rock music.

And their influence in quite a bit of today's music is a big deal. Grohl is the man. Honestly can't give a shit about Cobain when Dave is still kicking and making good music.
