A home-studio “1969 Dark Star”

Email from Lane Steinberg:

Hey David-

I did a version of ‘Dark Star’ by myself. You might get a kick out of it. I tried to stay true to a ’69 vibe. I have it up in three parts up on Myspace here.

Best,
Lane Steinberg

It’s pretty impressive, considering that it was recorded one part at a time. I asked him what order the parts were recorded in:

I started with a drum machine (set to a cha-cha beat!) as a guide.
Then, in order, I did:
‘Jerry’
‘Phil’
‘Bob’
‘TC’
‘Mickey’
‘Phil’
Vocals
Great fun, but quite a challenge in spots, as you might imagine. I
recorded on 2/28/07 & 3/01/07, so the dates corresponded with the
legendary ’69 Fillmore run.
