LIVE TV! ON DVD! IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT! In Surround

摘要

Over the years, Saturday Night Live (SNL) has become not only a cultural and comedic insti-tutlon, but a musical one as well. And after more than 25 years of magnificent live per-formances by many of the rock legends of our time, those of us that have religiously watched the show (that's just about everyone, isn't it?) have longed for a release of the musical treasures that it has created. Finally, after all these years, it's happened, with a series of upcoming DVD releases that feature music from the first 25 years of the show mixed not only in stereo, but in 5.1 as well. I recently caught up with Stacey Foster, SNL technical consultant and project coordinating producer, and SNL music engineer J. Vicari, who worked with acclaimed music and audio producer Glenn Rosenstein at Nashville's Backstage at Sound Stage Studios mixing these historic performances.
