VH1s Classic Albums - Any Other Shows Like It?
Hello
I watched the making of Deep Purple's Machine Head recently. I have seen Queen's Night at the Opera, Steely Dan's Royal Scam (maybe - I forgot which ones). DSOTM.
The recording nerd side of me wants it to be deeper, but I have not found any other shows that try to explain how a sound was captured or a mix created.
Do you know of any others?
Thanks
Goodbye

I have the U2 - The Joshua Tree DVD. It's pretty awesome. If the rest are the same quality, they're WELL worth buying! Edit: I think i saw the Sex Pistols one too. If I remember correctly, it had Quincy Jones admiring Steve Jones' guitar work.

Sounds like I have found my birthday present for next month. I have seen the DSOTM, Aja (couldnt remember the SD LP), Machine Head... but there are a lot of other good choices in there too.
I wish there was another program of this type on. I guess we are too much of a niche market.

Unfortunately... they're not going to go too deep into the actual recording techniques beyond what they think the average watcher would be interested in seeing.
Since we are not the average watcher... it's not as detailed as we'd like them to be.

I would be happy if there were at least more of the shows - covering some other styles perhaps as long as it was not rap. I cannot imagine one of those being very long.

Definitely ask for the DVDs of Who's Next and Zappa. I have those and they are excellent.
