red rocks (from the egineer point of view)

I came up to this website after doing some stevie searches, it's about one of the guys who did engineering for stevie's red rocks video...and I found it to be hilarious (the story was about another artist, belinda something, I totally forgot now)...but just wanted to share it...



"Before the Belinda record, Dan Nash and Shelly (Yakus) had a falling out of sorts, because Dan had gotten close to the Stevie Nicks clique and Shelly felt he was losing a client. Sometime during the fall we started a project from hell in the Mix Room, "Stevie Nicks - Live at Red Rocks". It was an hour long concert video with all the close-up's reshot after the fact because Stevie was looking pretty bad.

Dan and Waddy were trying to keep the ship going straight and I played SSL guy. The time consumer was because of the new close-ups, the sync was off, so we floated the vocal around with the Lynx's (talking subframes) for hours and hours. The session's were always all-nighters, and it went on forever. One night I unplugged the remote from the Mitsu 32 with the machine on and of course it died and stopped the gig. Dan made me tell Stevie, which wasn't a whole lot of fun.

The good part was the "girls" (i.e. backup singers) were always around which was easy on the eyes. Needless to say, I don't think I ever watched the video after it came out."

Heh. That's cool. thanks for digging that up.

Remember when they broadcast FM or SN concerts or interviews, the voice-over would always mention Dan Nash?
