Just returned from business trip and was surprised to see all the nice comments on this song thread.  Must be a lot of L&M fans.
 
Danny - Really appreciate your help on this one, as you mention, some of it was OK but you really cleaned up the bottom end.  It was really a mess prior to your help.  When I A/B my original to the mix with your suggestions the result is night and day.  Really outstanding input and thanks again.
 
Dan - Thanks for the comment, it was tough and fun at the same time.   Appreciate you listening.
 
FreddyJ - Glad you like the song even though not a L&M fan.  Appreciate your comments on the instrumentation.   I am sure the Vox were tough too but I only had to mix them, not record and sing them;) 
 
Alkie/Alan - Thanks, glad you like it.
 
Pete - Appreciate your comment.   Not a million dollar studio, just my home office, unfortunately;(   I really like the sound of the 70's recordings and all the groups you mention, and was shooting for that target.  Thanks for listening.
 
Manny - Appreciate the comment.   I am sure Robby has framed your comment about the vocals over his computer monitor;)  Overwhelming is a good description.  I am not sure what prompted L&M to turn the song into a 7:40 jam but it is a cool song.  Seemingly they had a lot of instruments laying around the studio they wanted to add to the mix;)   Glad you like it,  Dirty Work would be a good song to cover, just listened to it for reference.   Maybe we'll do it.  I have another Van Halen cover in the works and have started on Money by Pink Floyd.   At some point I would like to post some originals but am working on mixing skills right now.  So many good songs to learn from I am hesitant to post originals until I can do them justice.  Thanks again.

Regards

I just listened again, really a great job here Mark, my only constructive crit would be that you cut than singer ("so called")/"faux keyboard player" he's holding you back man.

Not familiar with the original, but this sounded great! Loved the brass and the organ. Everything fitting very good together.

I'm amazed too, and I'm part of it? We have talent, and technology and the combination makes tasty jam's like this one :-) Damn it feels good to be a gangster...

Hey Mark and Robby,
 
Been away from the forum for a couple of weeks so I'm late to the party, but this phenomenal cover of a great classic is total ear candy!
 
Spectacular musicianship by both of you, and the production work on this is out of this world.  Amazing detail in the performances, and pro quality clarity and texture in the great sounding mix.
 
Excellent collab, guys, top notch all the way around!
Bob
