Sadly, the golf course and country club have been gone since the new Forum replaced it in the 1960’s! Despite disappearing for a few years, the newly remodeled Forum is back with a vengeance, and is undoubtedly the best indoor stadium venue for a rock concert in the Greater Los Angles area!
And Fleetwood Mac gave a monumental performance!

After meeting Simon Phillips and Billie Rainbird at NAMM in Anaheim back in February, I finally visited Simon’s Phantom Recording Studio and was treated to some great music and a happening atmosphere to create, especially if Simon has time to be involved! He has been writing and producing and is still one of the legends of music!
To quote Wikipedia; “He is also a prolific session drummer, and has played for Jeff Beck, The Who, Judas Priest, Tears for Fears, Mike Oldfield, and Gary Moore, among others.”

Here is the long lost episode of the BBC’s “Science in Action” program from 1987. In this segment I show how to sample with our Fairlight CMI Series III in Studio 5 at AIR Studios Oxford Street.
We sold the Series III to J. J. Jeczalik of the Art of Noise a few weeks after taping this episode! I wonder why!
