Sound City Doc - Screencaps of Buckingham Nicks / Fleetwood Mac

[bombaysaffires]

Just got home from seeing this in the theater (and going out to eat afterwards!) and it was awesome!! Who knew that Crying in the Night was the first use of that board and that the subsequent success of the white FM album became a huge draw for other people to use it. I was appalled at how disgustingly grungy the studio was.... the one quote that sticks out was a guy saying "you could pee in the corner and no one would ever know"-- it was that dirty. Trying to imagine Stevie (and Chris) hanging out there. One guy (was it Tom Petty??) said they were afraid to even sit on any of the furniture. Yikes. (oh, and the smell from the nearby brewery...when the studio doors were open, it basically smelled like farts. Lovely!)

Stevie sounded AMAZING in the recording of her song You Can't Fix This. I thought maybe there was some studio wizardry going on and they were playing the finished produced track over the video but nope it was her singing live because at one point she messed up a lyric and stopped and said she messed up. I just loved her in that scene... It was curious that Dave Grohl didn't appear to have recorded anything with Lindsey... I haven't checked the album tracks to see if maybe they did and it just didn't make the movie.

It *was* a bit depressing to see how farking OLD everyone of the musicians was.... it was somehow shocking because if THEY'RE now so old, what does that make me??

Great fun. Hope everyone watches it.
