00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: James Fuller, Welcome to the Taking a Walk Podcast.

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: Thanks, it's great to be here.

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: So we've had a few photographers of rock on the

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Taking a Walk. We had a couple of visits with

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: our dear friend, the great Henry Dilts, who's an amazing

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: photographer without question, Elliott Landy as well. I don't know

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: if you're familiar with Elliott, but had Elliott on and

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: Lynn Goldsmeth actually too, yeah at her on. So when

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 2: you think about your style and what people can look

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: forward to seeing in your beautiful book Spirit in the Light,

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: how would you define your style?

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 3: Well, I think I was in the right place at

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: the right time that Springsteen was pretty much unknown these

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: years that I photographed him, and so I could get

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: quite close, usually front row. At one point the manager

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: Mike Capelli even sent me up on stage. I was

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: taking pictures up there behind all the equipment and all

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: the wires and all that going on, and then suddenly

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: I was grabbed by two roadies and thrown off stage.

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: They said to me, Bruce doesn't want anybody on stage

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: when he's up there. But you know Bruce is you know,

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: his quest for excellence really put pressure on me. When

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: I was thinking about bringing out this book. I didn't

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: want to do something that was less than the best

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: I could do, and so I spent a lot of

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: time and a lot of money getting everything done just right.

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: So I felt a little bit like Bruce and that,

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: you know, I wanted it to be as good as

36
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: it could possibly be.

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: Music saved Punglin Hull, and today music save me. We

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: are sitting down with rain Mada, the voice behind our

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: Lady piece. Was there a specific like aha moment when

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 4: you realize that music could be more than just entertainment

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: and fun?

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a great question. I it's funny

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: like my first concert ever was Van Halen in nineteen

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: eighty four on that nineteen eighty four tour, and it

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: was wild, like it was I got hot. You know,

46
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: it was the first time I'd been to a rock

47
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: and roll concert like that in an arena. You know,

48
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: there was a lot of pot smoking go on, so

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I got like second very high. The show was phenomenal,

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: like David Roth had a knived and he's jumping around

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: on stage. It was it was so entertaining that I

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: walked away. I was like, oh my goodness, I never

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: knew I never knew me and Van Halen was kind

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: of that kind of band. But then about I think

55
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: about six weeks later, I saw Peter Gabriel and it

56
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: was so different. You know, it was like this. It

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: was as musical, but it was it wasn't entertainment. It

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: wasn't and I don't want to say it was serious,

59
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: but he spoke about like Amnesty International, and he spoke

60
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: about green peace, and he talked about just things that

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: really mattered to him personally, and it was like this

62
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: really amazing global view that it really made this difference

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: to me in terms of there is entertainment, which is

64
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: amazing because I love Ben Halen, but there also was

65
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: this more kind of like consciousness towards music that could

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: thought it was preachy, but it was like you could

67
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: have this platform as well that went beyond music, and

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: so that was kind of like a ha moment for

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: me for sure.

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,240

Speaker 6: and me at the same time. Since we had co

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 6: produce this, Like I took all my gear down for

79
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 6: any of the studio nerds out there, my Block two

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 6: fifty one, my ten seventy three Vintage, and my CO

81
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 6: and B and recorded in his own studio all the

82
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 6: vocals for this. We used the same band the entire time.

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 6: I was so grateful for those guys for doing all

84
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 6: of the sessions and actually being able to have like

85
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 6: one cohesive band, because I haven't done that in a

86
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 6: long time. Normally it's sort of like piecemeal as you're

87
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 6: going through the process of making a record. It was

88
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 6: really really cool making this record with Andy. He's such

89
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 6: a good dude. Like at one point when we were

90
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 6: doing the vocals, I walked out of his house and

91
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 6: his wife was filming his kids and they were making

92
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 6: an action movie in the in the front yard of

93
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 6: their house. So it was just a very much dig

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 6: in make the record we wanted to make, and we

95
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 6: had the time to do it. You can't say it's, oh,

96
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 6: this is the best record I've ever made, that's my

97
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 6: favorite or ever. They gets said a lot, but I

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,480

Speaker 7: the style of reggae music.
