- Me neither, but that second one was pure tape. The orchestra/band was live,
- I think, but his vocals sure weren't. Not that live would have been any
- better. I still can't stand anything he's sung since Off the Wall, and
- even that was pushing things a bit.

- That was the tape kicking in.:-/

- AMEN, brother. When they cut the jazz group off midway, I was really and
- truely *pissed*. The best bunch of musicians that evening, and they get
- cut.:-( They pulled it on Judy Collins, too, I think. And they didn't
- cut Fleetwood Mac off soon enough, methinks. Those last few choruses were
- pushing it. I hate to say it, but the old albums sounded better. On
- top of this stuff, it sounded like CBS was using ambient mikes, instead
- of pulling the sound straight off of the mixing board, like they
- should have. I've recorded stuff both ways, and the latter is definitely
- preferred when possible.
