Just watched it.

Excellent.

Beato has done fantastic interviews with producers but, subject wise in regard to the era and bands, this is tops.

The Brendan O'Brien interviews are exceptional.

Beato has incredible experience on all fronts of music. He's the perfect person to interview people because he's a student and a fan of them as well as plowing his own road.

In some ways Glyn Johns had some Charlie Watts-esque moments. I understand the way Johns speaks is probably quite common in the UK but I don't live in the UK and have only heard whoever talk and he is certainly in the "I dunno, I dunno" camp as Charlie was.

It was nice to hear him talk about his brother Andy at the end too.

Great interview. I would have loved to have heard more Stones content, but taken as a whole, listening to his experiences with all these legendary artists, and what he brought to the studio was incredible. Great insights and analysis. Enjoyed hearing his comments on working with the Beatles.

GasLightStreet, of the top-of-my-head, I don’t recollect how Johns articulates, but I suspect it could be - what is known as - ‘received pronounciation’; or ‘BBC English’ It’s all rather educated, and rarely spoken anymore; you won’t even hear it on the BBC; which has become urbanised and intentionally less educated and middle-class across much of its broadcasting.

Edit: I didn’t read your post properly. So he sounds like Charlie? Well, again, you won’t come across that accent in anyone under around 60.

I definitely got the Charlie vibe from him. Yes was hoping for more Stones, his (non) relationship with Keith makes sense. I get the sense he doesn’t like to hang around, and Keith would “play and play and play” lol
Was also hoping for his Combat Rock experience

His speech reminded me of Charlie, that dismissive aspect, that is only of the English (a sweeping aspect I realize) - (edited) and yes, of a generation that is disappearing.

It's absolutely not disrespectful. It's just something I heard and it fits, I suppose, of a particular 'of way' behaviour.

No, you’ve stated nothing disrespectful at all. I’m glad you acknowledge the disappearance; especially, considering you’re across the pond and not a direct witness.

I found it not very interesting,especially since they spoke for over an hour.The interviewer asked almost no interesting questions.He could have asked him about Brian, who I believe he worked with on his solo album, as well on A Degree of Murder soundtrack.Could have asked more in depth questions about the making of Aftermath, Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed. How he got the great sound on Get Yer Ya Yas Out.

It's interesting for recording studio/gear/mixing geeks. Of course there's a million more questions that could've been asked but it wasn't about The Rolling Stones.

I ordered the book. Perhaps Johns talks about those things in his book.

He engineered and produced a gazillion albums, including bands much bigger than the Stones, so what do you expect?

yes they sold more records in the 70's than the stones and we're probably equal as a concert draw but the stones were bigger in the 60s and we're also big after Zeppelin after broke up so I'm not sure you could claim Zeppelin were a much bigger band overall.

Between Zep, the Stones and Pink Floyd, the Stones played the least amount of shows from 1969-1977.

All pale in comparison to Elvis. But Zep played to more people.

Record sales? Same thing, Stones had the least and they're not in the Top Ten most selling albums of the 1970s unlike Zep and Pink Floyd (no point in mentioning The Beatles since they've always sold the most). So that makes ten acts bigger than the Stones in the 1970s.

Is there a trophy?

I find Rick Beato a bit boring, a typical music teacher who knows theory and all that but doesn't get the magic of a rock and roll band like The Rolling Stones with its unique groove and swing etc. I find it obvious that he doesn't know or care much about Rolling Stones. Yes, he made a video about Angie, but he had Steve Jordan on for an hour (before he joined the Stones) and didn't ask one single question about Keith or Winos. When Dave Natale was on, it was Dave himself who brought up the Stones and talked about them, not Rick Beato. And there was many missed opportunities to ask Dave interesting follow-up questions, if you care about Stones. I haven't watched this interview with Glyn Johns, but I expect Rick Beato not to ask anything Stones-related.

As said earlier to similar, he's a recording engineer/mixer/producer/musician. He's not into the mythology, only into how it works. The video wasn't about the Stones.

Led may have sold more records but their music is inferior .And the Stones 1972 tour was not just the biggest live tour of the year , it was probably the biggest tour in America in the1970s.It was the entertainment event of the summer.The Stones received huge media coverage.Famous writers like Terry Southern and Capote reported on the tour.Their shows were celebrity filled events.They were on the cover of magazines like Time and Newsweek..Led never had a tour that generated that interest or coverage.In fact, Led was touring that summer in America in the shadow of the Stones.And I’d assume Johns would not think Led was bigger or more important because they sold more albums

I don't like Led Zep very much no...You can compile all their best tracks into one great album and that's it for me. Live I find them very tiresome with all these extended drum and guitar solo's...

I am not the biggest expert on Zep, but if you look at their live schedule they did the Stones 1972 tour times two, every year until 1980. And they played bigger places from the start -where the Stones didn't do a proper stadium tour until 1981 and played mainly arena's and smaller football stadiums in the 1970's, Zep played stadiums from 1972 on....

Taylor1 for the trophy of DEFENDING THE STONES!

Is it really difficult to admit Led Zeppelin was bigger than the Stones?

Zep did sell more records. It's a fact, not a probability. Saying their music is inferior is ridiculous. Oh, right, Zep didn't have famous writers hanging with them. Holy mother inferior!

You were right, though, about the Stones 1972 tour probably being the biggest tour of America, because Zep broke attendance records with their 1973 American tour.

Fortunately, as we all know, sales have never been the measure of quality in any art form. Look at some of the very popular rubbish that exists in any NY Times Top Ten Bestsellers books list.

Edit: To be clear and hopefully not inflame our more eager and easily inflamed arguers, I'm not calling those other bands rubbish -- I'm also a fan of Zep and the Beatles. (Pink Floyd not so much. (And I do share Keith's assessment of Sgt. Pepper smileys with beer ))
