really recorded in studio
Permalink   

Is there any truth to the rumor that the rare earth live album was really recorded in studio and was actualy overlayed over the original live recording due to some technical issues? At the end of "BIG BROTHER' there is a hint of this with the last two keyboard chords. I love this album and RARE EARTH is my favorite band of all time!

Totally absurd and as for "the rumour" I have never heard of one.  Must have just been started.

As for the odd studio overdub what live album doesn't have one.

Peter once told me that Hey, Big Brother was re-cut in the studio. Thoughts was a live-in-the-studio track anyhow.

 Deep Purple - Made In Japan

Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East

Dave Mason- Certified Live

 

Those three have no overdubs, but most classic live albums do :)

And how about Live in Chicago? I wonder if that will have been subjected to any overdubs before it went into the vaults?

MY MEMORIES OF IN CONCERT WERE THAT LOSING YOU DID NOT COME OUT TO OUR SATISFACTION AT ANY OF THE THE VENUES. A WHILE AFTER THE LIVE RECORDINGS WE HAD A REMOTE TRUCK(JUST LIKE AT THE VENUES) COME OUT TO OUR REHEARSAL STUDIO. WE RECORDED IT OVER,AND WERE HAPPY WITH IT. THE AUDIENCE TRACK WAS SYNCYD  IN,AND THAT'S WHAT WE WENT WITH. I REMEMBER WE WERE ALL BUMMED THAT WE COULDN'T USE THE LIVE VERSION ,BUT NONE OF THEM WERE UP TO PAR. PETER MAY BE RIGHT ABOUT BIG BROTHER TOO.....I DON'T REMEMBER.

THOUGHTS WAS A CASE OF ON THE SPOT,ROLL THE TAPE. TOTALLY AD-LIBED FROM BEGINNING TO END.

 

LIVE IN CHICAGO IS UN TOUCHED AS FAR AS OVERDUBS. WHAT YOU HEAR IS WHAT WAS RECORDED THAT NIGHT.

That's why I'd love to hear the multitrack tapes of all shows, along with any re-recorded stuff, Thoughts and Nice To Be With You. Then we could hear what made the cut, what was re-done, fixed, etc.

 

At the end of the day, In Concert is a helluva live album. 

 

Ray, your solo in the middle of "Ma" on Live In Chicago has an edit :(

Are we talking about the version of "Big Brother" played live at Miami Marine Stadium back in 1971?

That song sounded exactly the same played live as it did on the "In Concert" LP. We had a friend named David who was a really tall goofy looking skinny kid so we nicknamed him Gook. Dave was in madly in love with a girl named Sherry who cheated on him, broke his heart and then dumped him.

Afterwards the song "I'm Losing You" took on a very special meaning for David. When the band started playing "I'm Losing You" Dave was all ears. Shortly before Pete shouted out his first "Your Love Is Faded" our friend Kevin sitting in the fifth row yelled out "Hey Gook" and if you listen closely to "I'm Losing You" from IN Concert you can here those words plain as day

Now forty three years later every time "I'm Losing You is played from the "In Concert" album it has a special meaning for everyone else that was there that day. If "I'm Losing You" was re-recorded in the studio why would the words "Hey Gook" still be heard?

The story actually has a happy ending because several years later David and Sherry were actually married and went on to raise three beautiful children together. They're both now retired school teaches but I don't know if either one of them listens to "I'm Losing You" any more

Again, on the subject of overdubs, if you listen to What'd I Say on In Concert, Gil comes in with a sax solo at around 3 mins 15 Secs. He plays one bar on his own, then about 10 seconds later there is a harmony sax solo and then the solo ends with both saxes playing in unison. I'd love to know (a)Is the second sax overdubbed, or (b) did Gil play two saxes at the same time, or (c) Did Gil use a stomp pedal to produce the harmony or (d) Was that Mark Olson on the second sax?

If it was Mark, he was remarkably quick in getting off the sax and back onto his Hammond Organ. Harmony stomp boxes back in 71/72? I don't think so. I'm sure someone will be able to answer.
