on this subject-i went DEEP into the <stanitarium> archives and found a clip from an old show from 1953 titled 'OMNIBUS' hosted by allister cooke, nothing on the web except a little info on <www.tvtome.com> anyway there is a scene i have on vid of Les Paul&Mary Ford being interviewed by A.Cooke about mutitracking-and believe it or not Les is 'paulverizing' the audience w/ <8> Ampex tape recorders-playin his guitar into the machines, building up tracks and then Mary Ford builds up some vocal tracks-'How High the Moon'-and then they play and sing the whole arrangement-'live' over the 24 backing tracks!!... here's the kicker tho-the way it looks, ALL tracks were prerecorded-cause he is pretending to be hitting buttons for 'record' and then 'play'-no cueing up or anything, and he never really seems to really touch a button at all... doubt anyone has this whole show on tape but what i got is a great piece of an early version of the 'les paulverizer'...i'm thinkin, anyway. s > At 4:14 AM -0800 1/2/05, Tim Nelson wrote: > >> I sort of did a 'les paulverizer' stunt onstage once > > It's probably worth noting that the Les Paulverizer was actually > nothing more than a tape deck with a play/pause control mounted on > Les's guitar. All the material on the tape was pre-recorded.
