• Who remembers 1969 ??

    Hi all,

    Creedence Clearwater Revival during the Vietnam era.
    Live on the Ed Sullivan show, of all places.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RUGJAWIslE

    Raw and rough, so doubtless a live ( excellent) version.

    FYI

    Thousands of young Australian men served in Vietnam, many of them teenage conscripts. The Aussie Govt held a lottery each year to pick out birth dates of * unfortunate ones *. At age 19, I missed being in that draft by exacctly one day.

    However, I had a cousin a few year older than me who volunteered in the mid 60s. He came back one year later, different person, hardly spoke.

    I remember '69 very well. One of the shows I was mixing was The Music Scene. It was the year of Woodstock, most of the acts from that phenomenon performed live on the show. I has the honor of mixing Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Down By the River".
    They didn't like my mix, I made their suggested changes and did a second take. It was not usable, I have 1/4" tapes of both somewhere. Later I learned they'd not yet heard the studio mix, mine was similar. The broadcast performance is available.

    A young couple back then who were near and dear
    to me.... He: a postman, she, a nurse. Both: Stripped of
    their self esteem by life circumstances too deep and dreadful
    to mention here. Smoking and drinking away their off days in
    a bar in nearby Port Chester, it's a miracle they made it back
    up the turnpike to CT alive, along with, unknowingly... ME.

    You see, they didn't know, until late summer of 1969, that they
    were harboring the child the doctor told my mother she
    could never have!

    In early 1970 I arrived, exposed already to enough nicotine
    and suds to kill a fucking moose. The better parts of my social, cognitive, and money-making capacities washed down how many
    drains, toilets, or wherever.

    Yes, I remember 1969, North Main Street, Port Chester. And I'm
    coming back for you!

    No monitors and EV dynamics are not so odd for that time period. I'm not

    Chamber reverb was an alternative to plate reverb. Basically it was an asymmetrically shaped room, tiled on its surfaces, and containing a
    couple of speakers and microphones.

    Yes, I do know about chamber reverb.

    However:
    1) I never saw any television studio had one in that time period (still typically don't).
    2) The Ed Sullivan show would have been very unlikely to have one;
    3) If a chamber reverb was used, it would have some effect on the
    instruments, and there is none that I could hear.
    4) That is what one would expect if a pedal reverb was on the output of
    an EV cardioid dynamic mic because the instruments would have been too
    off-axis to be picked up at the input level for close-up voice.

    Two thoughts for you, Phil.
    1) Since all options were turned on and off with a pedal switch "reverb
    pedal" was a generic reference.

    2) Perhaps you should search on the term EchoPlex, available since 1959
    and used by just about all of us and probably anybody you ever heard of.
    Mine was a mid-60's unit.

    Pedal reverb?
    --scott

    "Pedal reverb" is a general term for the various kinds of reverb used
    back then. All of them were switched on/off via a pedal. Perhaps the
    most popular reverb was the EchoPlex, introduced in 1959 and used by all
    of us by the mid '60s.

    I wasn't referring to instrument reverbs, as in those built into guitar

    As for being "natural on vocals", even echo chambers had artifacts that

    The Echoplex isn't really a reverb unit but an echo box. Instrument reverbs like the Echoplex and all the various spring reverbs were often used for PA effects but you would not use something like that on studio vocals. You
    might find them used by the musician himself in the studio on instruments, though.

    Yes, absolutely, which is what I pointed out in the original recording.
    That's either a chamber or a very dulled-down plate. You would not expect
    to see such things in a TV studio. This therefore would indicate that was
    not a live recording per se, although it may have been tracked specifically
    for the show (the way Lawrence Welk tended to work).

    Not THAT much longer but yes. The EMT was an attempt at simulating the
    chamber sound without requiring a huge amount of real estate.

    The EMT sound changed a bit over the years as fashion changed and people started setting them up tighter and tighter. And then predelay came along!
    By the time I first used an EMT in the seventies people were cranking the things until the clips popped in order to get that shimmery thing.

    I had many experiences in that era when the band played "live" on TV
    with basically the same setup we used on stage. It was our way or no
    way*, and the broadcast stations just wanted to attract attention to
    sell ads (as always). That is what the original post sounds like to me.

    * Many of the "top pop" bands were managed by record producers, and they
    called the shots w/r/t their setup, especially for broadcast.

    I mixed the Welk show from '71 through'73. There were many 'pre-records' when I joined the show. Mr. Welk knew his people could work 'live' and liked my mixing. When the show left ABC after '73, pre-records were limited to Norma Zimmer (she couldn't
    hit the high notes and look sweet) and Arthur Duncan (he would ad lib too much for the planned camera angles) Full-cast production numbers" were pre-recorded for wide-shot convenience. I was told that Welk didn't like reverb. On other shows I'd been
    using the EMT 140 plate on vocals, strings, etc. I continued that practice and Mr. Welk never said a word.

    ABC-TV Hollywood had one 'live' chamber at the Hollywood Palace Theater, across the street from Capitol Records. It wasn't very good and we used 5 KHz telco lines to/from the main lot a few miles away to access the EMT.

    I recall reading about the different chambers (reverb rooms) at Capitol Records in LA. They were in that tall columnar building. I think there were others. Best we had was Spring Reverb, like the Fisher Space Expander.
