Gus Dudgeon

2002-07-24 by kinchmusic@aol.com

As I write this, I'm playing the DVD "Classic Albums-Goodbye Yellow Brick 
Road." I don't know if it's available in the States, but it's well worth 
buying if only to get a glimpse back through time at a team of musicians at 
the top of their game. There's load of original footage of the recording 
sessions. Gus Dudgeon takes the viewer through some of the multitracks of the 
songs giving a terrific insight into the way he worked.
It's a bit spooky, watching this whilst knowing he's no longer with us. But 
somehow it seems that in keeping with other talented people who've moved on. 
Their work seems to only become fully appreciated once they've gone.
Shame that.
