I'm swamped with input. I want input, but I am so far behind on what I got here that I can't keep up with what people are sending me.

Everyone has his own agenda, and it can overshadow the important thing, which is to capture a great performance. They listen to it and think, "Oh, I'm not mixed loud enough...I missed a note there...I'm a half-step off on the turnaround."

There are enough painful experiences that go along with this trip that it keeps me in reality. It ain't all gems and roses.

You can really do some clever editing even within the limited two-track format.

I am amazed and thrilled and unbelievably proud about my team's performance.

The mindset of the people who put the shows on and those who go buy a ticket is so fundamentally different. The band themselves don't have a sense of things, and I found this out after a lot of years of pain and frustration.

I want everyone to be able to have the same experience through the music as me. It's important to get it out.
