With the recent passing of Astrud Gilberto, many have noted the incredible sound quality of a televised performance in the 1960's: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DCaxN6TfH4
With the posting of "Herb Alpert Is..." on YouTube, I noted the two excerpts of the Brazil '66 performance beginning at 1:03:39. Again, this is not in studio but rather a live performance. See:
While I certainly would agree that Astrud and Lani were/are far better vocal talents than, say, Taylor Swift, I'm just amazed at the sound fidelity. Could it be the analog sound equipment of the 60's produces better sound than the digital equipment of today?
P.S. I wish Sergio would release the full performance and any other live material they have.
