Bill Adams

...the number of superb live shows that have been  recorded is a testament to the talent that graced this band…..the “live” DVD matches the studio disc, and I feel is a great companion to the disc….everyone was up for the performance, all our close friends, fans and new fans were in attendance, to an almost sold out house….the energy and excitement was in major evidence…

 

....…in the studio, sometimes there would be 3 or up to 5 playing together, in glassed off rooms…where as the comfort level of the band was being on stage, next to each other, so at times the vibe was strained ,due to the distance of the members, but once the songs started, the magic was there, and  we pulled it off…..9 times out of 10, the first or second take were the keepers……..and in hindsight, you can always beat yourself up about a particular part or phrase you played, but in the end , it’s the final product that counts….and on the whole, you have a great product, recorded during a small time frame in the history of the band. The studio can be a very stressful time, being “on the clock” or under pressure to get it right, the first time, but I must say, the album sounds great, the liner notes and pictures are superb, and thru it all, the attitude was to have fun , (plus the coffee and “Hershey’s kisses” were a great addition to the studio)..…

 

…the amount of time, the amount of takes and the amount of engineering, sometimes is all consuming, with deadlines and budget constraints, but this project took on a life of it’s own…everyone involved , did a superb job, due to the professionalism of everyone……
