SRV and double trouble were lent studio time by Jackson Browne to record their first album. But they had to make quick time of it. When recording Voodoo Chile, Vaughan's string broke during recording. So instead is starting over they just overdubbed a second guitar take at the time of the string break. Can you tell at what mark the two takes were spliced
together?

For fun, name some other recording quirks.

During the intro of Wish You Were Here, there is an audible "hack" or cough by David Gilmour. He didn't realize he had done it until he heard it on the playback. He had it left in to remind himself to quit smoking (or stay quit).

Zeppelin - Black Country Woman.

They roll tape and catch the humm of an airplane engine high above. There's a little convo about editing the airplane noise out. Sounds like Plant that says "nah, yea, leave it." Always liked that.

Bastard!! Beat me to it.


By the way. Bonham's drum pedal??? Was that squeak known in the pre CD mastered world? Did guys hear it in the 1970's on albums?

Also, When the Levee Breaks one of his high hat beats the cymbals are open I believe? Or at least are more open than with any other strike. It is in the intro.

Bruce Springsteen - New York Serenade

the first 16 seconds of the song is Roy strumming the piano strings. at 16 you can hear him get down from standing on the chair and sit down to start playing the piano.

If you listen really closely at the beginning of "The Chain"...somebody drops an F-bomb.

That squeak is most evident in "Since I've Been Loving You".

There's one of these on Nirvana's Pennyroyal Tea.

At the end of Carter Beauford's bombastic drum flurry in the song Drive In, Drive Out on DMB's Crash album, you can hear him say, "That....is bad as shite!"

At the beginning of Hello It's Me by Todd Rundgren there's faint studio chatter with the band as Todd's getting ready and someone says "Everybody F**** Up" quite clearly.



Also submit the obligatory Ohio Players "Love RollerCoaster" urban legend. Not true but good reading.

Voodoo Chile and Voodoo Child (Slight Return) are two different Hendrix songs.

SRV covered the latter

1:50 mark where he's bending the B string a whole step into pitch. Interesting that I've never caught that when I've listened to this song so many times and have tried my best to imitate his version live.
