Given to tunes you never heard played in the context or the instrument.
This first example was amazing to me.
I have most of the blues masters in the vault. I ran a studio, back in the 60s, as I have noted. I gave a lost of slack to some who were less privilaged than myself............not because I was on a mission, but becuse they had some authentic blues to play. And I wanted to record it soooooooooooo badly.

What reamains, and I lost a lost a lot in a flood 'in 62 ...
Is something of a blues hotel.

2014 - 54 = 1960 ran a studio aged 9!! Wow

Say 18 in 1969 born 1951 age 63

and I lost a lost a lot in a flood 'in 62

Born 1951 - age 11 in 62
Born 1960 - age 2 in 62

Hey Bernie, I've called bull$4!t before on these claims. Last time it was because Mark claimed to have suggested the musical sound for Steppenwolf in his studio in the 60's.
Mark and I are the same age and the oldest we ever got in the 60's is twelve.
So... while I was riding my bike around with baseball cards clothespegged into the spokes, he was running a recording studio.
His link to the Vietnam war is just as tenuous.
As Maxwell Smart would say...

Hey, Robert.
When I get into my cups and go into fantasy mode, I can be or do most anything. It's called role playing. It requires the 'suspension of disbelief' thingy. I can be rather good at it.

My real life experiences with music, electronics, and just a bit of time in a small independent studio here in the midwest in my teens allows me to weave a tale that some might find plausible enough to believe. I don't continue to present it as fact for years on end however.
Although I may revisit the same fantasy on a future trip down Abbey Road.

Or maybe I'll go off about that 100mpg carburetor that I crafted in my Dad's workshop at the age of 7 out of old Buick parts.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.......so to speak.

This is one of the finest moments in recent cinematic history, at least in my world. I have dreamed that I was Jack Reacher, defending the rest of the world from their own actions VS mine.

There are so many good one liners in this single 5 minute clip, I can't quote them all.
He's not everybody's favorite, but hey......top notch since Top Gun.

Any of you with stereo connections or a good set of speaker attached to your rig..............
Notch this one as a good test.
The Tractors.

Well engineered, enough boost to max most systems. Good punch in the bass drum to pounce like a kitten.
A good test of your speakers.
Trust me, I used to work in a studio, eh?

Trust me, this is about as best an all around sound test as you can get........it is just perfectly balanced and awesome.
The drums and bass are just so correct. The vocals or not over miched.
If you have dynamic impact or other similar settings in your sound pound, this is the one to test them with.
I have a modest set of old JBL tri speaker thingys on my computer, nothing awesome. But this brings them to life, believe me.
I can tweak the settings a tiny bit, but by and large, the stone cold original settings get the most awesome results.

Play, baby, Play.

Based on your write-up I'd best leave that until the rest of the household is awake (given that it's 3 am where I am - and probably time I go find room under some cats for a snooze) :) Will definitely check it out later though!

LOL... definately not a sleepy time tune.
Cats shall wake up, and depending on your rig, the rest of the building too.
I am just now playing with the settings on my tiny old JBL setup, and the results have been astounding.

It's just one of those few songs that we engineers used to say, had all the defects covered. In other words, no matter what was in the pipe at the time, there was nothing in the way of audio artifacts in the equipment that could be detected. 60hz hum in the mikes, no worry. 60hz hum in the amps, no worry. Not enough gain in the mikes, not worry, they sing LOUD. All of 'em. You see, I DID work just long enough in a studio to work with artists and their vagaries.
Some are hard to please. Some just don't give a rat's petoot, just let me play.
The Tractors did not give a rip. Their only wish was just, please get a savable take outtta this session.
As I was saying, the outcome was almost maximum tape saturation. Almost. That is the sound engineer's goal. Not quite, but almost. Too much, and you lose dynamics, too little, and you get more sound to noise ratio than you should like.
Even at 30 ips, and a half inch of tape with custom Nortronics heads. There is not much advantage to moving more tape past the heads than 30 ips. I have tried it. You cannot adjust the head decks to saturate the magnetics at that speed. It just does not matter much beyond 15 ips with a half an inch of tape racing across the heads at that point.
BTW, this is NOT a BS post. I had been an audio engineer for a few years at that point. I shall tell you when it becomes BS again.
I have a pair of very old Scully decks here at home.
I last had them in operation back in about 1990 or so. They still did admirably better than the stock TEAC X1000 consumer level deck that I also own.

If I fired them up at this date, and still had the moxy to hook my oscope up to them to monitor the waveforms and tape saturation, they would still beat the sox off of most digital recording media at this time.

If I ever get truly retired, and have the time to get back to it, I shall endeavor to toss all of my thousands of bits of vinyl, one by one, first onto the Scully decks, and then to some form of digital storage, whatever that may be at the time.

As the saying goes, some of you folks underestimate my abilities.
When I get into my cups, I exaggerate to the max. No argument there.
But, buddies, I do know my stuff.

Meow.

Uhh, yeah.
I did build my own crossovers and custom cabs.
The original speakers were Avid 105s. Great, sturdy cabinets, but the drivers were lame. I might find the original post I did about when my buddy and I got tossed and blew the speaker crossover caps out into the center of the room through the ports I had cut in the cabinets. Space Trucking, organ solo. Too much for the midrange caps to handle, they all popped in unison.

I have never, ever heard a cut that worked tape to the max like this.
Bass, not overdone. Vocals, a little bitten in the cheek. Drums, well, it's hard to overwork 15 ips tape with drums, although the impact can get wrecked if you overdo it. Piana just fills in nicely. Like I said, if you wanna test your system, this is THE cut.

Baby likes to Rock it.
Not just because I happen to like the cut, but because of what it is recording on 15 ips magnetic tape means. If you don't like my analysis of that, well then you never worked for Nortronics back in the 70s. Ever get involved with custom would tape heads and gaps? Ohh. Juicy stuff.

BTW, the intro is quite a knock off of the Polar Express thingy. LOL.
And even that juicy guitar solo bit in the middle does not knock the needles off their track, because the rest of the set has backed off at that point.
