Best 10 quotes of Dick Latvala on MyQuotes

Everyone has his own agenda, and it can overshadow the important thing, which is to capture a great performance. They listen to it and think, "Oh, I'm not mixed loud enough...I missed a note there...I'm a half-step off on the turnaround.

I am amazed and thrilled and unbelievably proud about my team's performance.

I don't have an agenda. I don't have things I want to get to or something. I have like a broad, slim grasp of certain periods and certain shows within that period, an awareness of them, but they demand re-listening. I have a flimsy grasp of all the eras and ideas within each period of what would be a good show to think of.

I'm in a state of learning, and I don't have any set-in-stone ideas about what shows or even what eras I want to pursue.

I'm swamped with input. I want input, but I am so far behind on what I got here that I can't keep up with what people are sending me.

I'm the proverbial kid in the candy store. I'm a guy who is lucky enough to have been chosen to turn his compulsive hobby into a profession. If I didn't have my job, I'd be doing almost the same thing for free.

It's kind of hard to find something that will get your juices flowing if you're somewhat critical. I have a hard time finding great things for myself in '94 and certainly in '95.

The mindset of the people who put the shows on and those who go buy a ticket is so fundamentally different. The band themselves don't have a sense of things, and I found this out after a lot of years of pain and frustration.

There are enough painful experiences that go along with this trip that it keeps me in reality. It ain't all gems and roses.

You can really do some clever editing even within the limited two-track format.
