Podcast appearances and mentions of Greg Calbi

If you love music, you have loved recordings mastered by Greg Calbi. Ever hear that Bruce Springsteen album Born To Run? He mastered that and has thoughts about how it turned out. He also tells of working with, among others, John Lennon, David Bowie, Harry Nilsson and Todd Rundgren. This legendary engineer has mastered classic albums by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Talking Heads, Supertramp, R.E.M., Paul Simon and the Strokes. More recently he won a Grammy for his work with Kacey Musgraves and mastered new albums by the Smile and MGMT. He shares decades' worth of insights into how he makes great music sound even better. What's his mastering philosophy? How does he give digital recordings the warmth of analog? And when did he get chills upon realizing he was one of the first people to hear a classic album?

“With a few exceptions we co-wrote the 11 songs for Rhythm Of The World with each other during our Happy Together summer tour. We wrote them in our hotel rooms on our tour bus and in our dressing rooms. From Howard Kaylan's (The Turtles) exuberant plea with the audience each night of the tour giving us inspiration for ‘Ya Gotta Get Up!' to ‘Katrina' (the first-person account of our brother Barry's death during hurricane Katrina in New Orleans) and all the songs in between, we use melody and harmony to bring some love and the hope of peace to the world. Frank Filipetti was our mix engineer and Greg Calbi mastered it (Rock's doing) so these songs have passed through the hands and ears of two of the best. Gail Marowitz and Danny Clinch teamed up for a great cover and packaging and with the Omnivore blessing, Rhythm Of The World is now ready for prime time! We are thrilled to be here to claim our legacy and share our music!!!”

In this special Gear Club episode, we celebrate the post-Beatle life of John Lennon, who would have turned 82 this year on October 9th. After The Beatles broke up, John and Yoko moved to New York where John produced, recorded, and played songs that spoke to the post-60s generation as they struggled for justice and an end to war. John Lennon impacted the lives of all those he came across, and that impact continues to live on. To mark the occasion of his birth, we've collected first-hand accounts from the producers and engineers who worked most closely with John as he wrote and recorded songs from “Imagine” to “Starting Over”. These people include Shelly Yakus, Jack Douglas, Rod O'Brien, Ed Stasium, Jay Messina, and Greg Calbi.

He is now working on creating an anniversary box set for The Ramones, a band that he has been closely linked to for their entire career.    Listen as Ed shares stories about working with various production companies and bands, and why rock and roll has always had his heart.

I first became aware of Greg Calbi in 1983 when he mastered the first Pressure Boys album for us by recommendation from Mitch Easter and Don Dixon. At the time I remember distinctly not understanding exactly what the mastering process even entailed.  Of course over the years as formats have changed, that process has evolved considerably... but Greg is still considered one of the preeminent mastering engineers in the field.     My conversation with Greg discusses his early days with artists like John Lennon and David Byrne, as well as detailing some of his approaches when working with clients.

John and Stewart sit down with Greg Calbi, a mastering engineer with more than 7,500 albums to his name! Reviewing career highlights including Tom Petty’s Damn The Torpedoes, Paul Simon’s Graceland, and Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks. The Trio also talks about Calbi’s introduction to mastering, and some of his favorite gear over the years. Plus, the track of the episode finds our hosts dissecting Queen’s mighty “Ogre Battle”.
