In addition, dealing with seasoned bands that had been doing the same songs for months or years is a lot differ- ent than "cast" bands that are put together for a scene and may not have worked together before the shoot date. I'm very proud of the fact that the concert performances we recorded; every episode, every scene, every band, every song, every take and every track, we had good recordings. Produc- tion never had to reshoot be- cause of our recording team. This included dealing with a citywide power outage at one point, and in some cases, the musically excellent "younger" bands showing up to set with several pieces of gear not working or missing. We had a great team effort and I want to thank Jeff Wexler CAS and Donovan Dear CAS and their crews plus our team of Bill Lanham, Steve McNeil and James Eric, who worked with me on Almost Famous and Steve Blazewick for their great teamwork and excellent efforts. I also want to thank Prop Master Matt Cavaliero and Head Set Decorator Lisa Sessions for their huge help sharing information dur- ing the initial decision-mak- ing process and of course, a thank-you beyond words to Cameron Crowe for creating this fictional based on a real- ity world, that so many of us were able to share creatively with him, the entire produc- tion and the audience who watched the show.
