Tom Dowd and the Language of Music

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Was wondering if anyone in the audio community had seen this film and
how it went over. It looks like a fitting tribute to a great man.
Comments?
Thanks,

See it and you'll understand just how wrong that reviewer was. I
thought it was great.

Saw it last year on the Sundance Channel. Wonderful!

What struck me most is how much Tom seemed to enjoy his work. And the
music was some of our favorite stuff of all time.

I've been waiting for the DVD, which debuts Tuesday, according to
another poster.

It got a pretty good writeup (two, actually) in Friday's Washington
Post. I can't figure out where it's playing around here though. Not a
regular theater.

Yes, I have that video and thought it was great!

As I said, not a regular theater. I found the Vision web site and it
shows its location. But maybe this is the excuse I need to buy a DVD
player. It's cheaper than going into DC to see a movie. <g>

Visions is pretty regular. But if you wait long enough, it will probably
make it to the AFI.

Don't ask me, I haven't got a TV set yet. I'm waiting for them to get
perfected.

Yes. In fact, when Dowd put up the faders on "Layla" in this
documentary, it reminded me of Martin in that "Sgt. Pepper" special.

The "Layla" album?
