It was interesting in part because the subject album was from the Fires of John Lennon... as you may know.<br /><br />The sound recording engineer (assistant?) was especially interesting; his stories of the various 'takes' were a highlight -- he would demonstrate some bits by segregating particular tracks.

Clapton was in Yardbirds, Cream and Blind Faith before his solo career. Haven't seen this particular entry, but I viewed on MuchMoreMusic the one they made about The Grateful Dead's "Anthem of the Sun", so if it's anything like this, it must have been very learned and interesting.Greg Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781308526267978337noreply@blogger.com
