Title: Jan & Dean - Command Performances Post by: Rocker on June 25, 2008, 07:07:50 AM Sorry to start another J&D-thread but I thought this should be on it's own. My questio is, how much of said album was actually recorded live?
Title: Re: Jan & Dean - Command Performances Post by: Christian on June 25, 2008, 07:55:53 AM "Here They Come From All Over The World" is the studio version over-dubbed with screaming kids. The other tunes were recorded live in Sacramento doctored in the studio probably the same way as the BB 1964 Concert album.

I wondered because some of the vocals sound like they were double-tracked. Not to talk about how "un-live" some of the tracks sound (e.g. "All I have to do is dream") Title: Re: Jan & Dean - Command Performances Post by: MBE on January 12, 2009, 04:36:33 AM Rocker I have read Stephen Mcparlands books on Jan and Dean (very good though a little off topic sometimes) and the music was done live for this album and the vocals in the studio. I think this was done to give the sound more balance.

But well, maybe I'm wrong with that... Title: Re: Jan & Dean - Command Performances Post by: Mark A. Moore on January 15, 2009, 07:18:16 PM Command Performance does, however, illustrate Jan & Dean's approach to live concerts . . . Orchestrations with full brass and woodwind arrangements (just like the records) . . . but no attempt to re-create the depth of vocal harmonies from the original studio versions.
