Very intuitive video, loved every bit of it! Classic!

When was this episode made? Al was born in 1930.

Al is a legend, no doubt! But I feel like the guys who work with him at Capitol, are doing a really great job too. I'm also thinking about Steve, who is also a true legend. Great job. I enjoyed this video a lot.

WOW. Thank you Steve!

It really is amazing getting to see and hear Al work like this, but this video is lacking so much valuable information. I think for the price you charge for these videos the production quality should be much higher and could include a lot more detail. Especially regarding mic placements, so many instruments get glossed over or not even mentioned and there isn't even a clear shot illustrating the positions either.

That's how Al was. Everything is so easy for him, he forgets there are things we don't know. You can still learn tons by watching all his videos, but you have to have the confidence to fill in the blanks with your own experience!

Gracias por tanto maestro! R.I.P

I love AL, he is a must, but, I expected more content and details. Nothing on drum micing, just brief talks. The documentary is too short compared to Chicarelli's. I wish you guys could keep a default in details and information. We desearve more.
