m_d_hI don't know whether people know this anymore, but back in the day, and you can truly hear it if you listen to the Fleetwood Mac Live album from 1980,
The reverence we held for Eddie Van Halen's electric guitar playing back then, was equivalent to Mick Fleetwood's drum playing back then.
He was amazing! The drums! Nowadays drums are just loops you autoplay on your DAW, but back then it required whole-body energy plus genius plus production values plus properly-amped speakers plus the auditory characteristics of the venue.
What you get today from your little earbuds or your over-ear bluetooth whatevers, today, is not what you got in the 1980s from a large concert venue with these live players.
I can't recreate the 1980s, LOL, and I was depressed most of the time back then anyway -- gays and drugs were super bad, and no Internet to find like-minded fellas ... BDSM was not even possible for me ...
But there was a type of sound that will never exist again, and I heard that sound, in person. But I can remember it while playing this live album on T's $$,$$$ B&O speakers at volume 53 in this open-plan house from the 1950s. Goddess I've missed having this house to myself.
Stevie Nicks' voice was still beautiful in 1980 ... like liquid sound ...
