That was so nice of the new owner for letting you tour her place. What awesome history and great storytelling!
That was super kind of her to let us in into this place full of music history!!!!!
Huge shout out go the building's owner. Thank you so much for allowing us all inside your home and providing such a rare opportunity for us to see and share in the history which is so important to all if us. I wish you all the success, joy and abundance in all your future endeavors.
That was really awesome of the new owner to let you go in, what an amazing lady.
I met Garbage at a Tower Records signing in Atlanta back in 1999. Being born in Wi. I brought a Wisconsin Badgers jersey to be signed by them, which brought about a great conversation with the entire group about the old days Wisconsin. Such a great group of people!
Dave Grohl didn't actually buy the entire Sound City, but he bought the NEVE console that was used at Sound City for sooooo many historic recordings. There is a documentary called SOUND CITY that details that process. :) Great Video!
I watched Sound City. The studio in this video has nothing to do with Sound City Studios in California.
@@bfhammer that's what I said. I never said anything was installed in Madison.
Thanks for this video Jordan. There needs to be some kind of historical plaque somewhere on the outside brick wall to indicate its significance as the place where an entire generation of classic rock music was created. On a similar note, I am curious if you will do a Smashing Pumpkins-related video sometime in the future?
Very cool. My favorite content from you in a long time. Thanks Jordan for sharing this.
Fall Out Boy and Hawthorne Heights recorded their debut albums there as well. Also recommend The Smart Studios Story documentary which covers all the history and broader Wisconsin and midwest alternative scene.
I was friends with Micah from Hawthorne heights in high school
@@DazewithJordantheLion Nice, one of my friends knew them when they were A Day in the Life
Gish was my preteen favorite album.
So many great albums came out from 87-94.
Man I miss good music.
Great video Jordan.
Very cool to see this Studio in person!
Jordan, I loved this! So Cool! Thank you for continuing to take me to the Best places! Blessings to you, Jah and Ms. Katie. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Thanks for sharing Jordan and Jah, thank you homeowner , for sharing also
I love this vlog, Nirvana Nevermind is the soundtrack of my teens along with the Smashing Pumpkins, along with Garbage, and Pearl Jam. But Nevermind, was played in my stereo and my cd player in my parent's van while I was driving to school. Plus the album influenced me to pick up the guitar. I learned most of the songs from that album. Thanks for sharing former Smart studios the house of Grunge!
That is really cool that they kept it the same.
Thanks for mentioning Freedy Johnston!! I also love 'This Perfect World' and seems like he's been unfairly forgotten
Thank you so much for the awesome video and great info.
thank her sooo much for letting you in...this is insane my friend
Just saw this video and I live down the street from Smart, how cool! Madison, WI is a gem all around.
This was so interesting. Thank you. 😊
Keep it up, Jordan. Love your videos!
What a great vlog, Jordan! I grew up in the 90’s listening to all of the bands mentioned and learned a lot of new things about them. Thanks, man!
Love music history, ty for this🤗🐾
Really enjoyed that. That was great. It brought back memories when I recorded with Steve Albini in Chicago. A scene long gone and so great.
Love this! I'm ready to book when it becomes an AIRBNB!
Cool beans!!! Garbage is one of my favorite bands ever!
What a great presentation! Thanks for putting this out.
Just a small correction - Dave Grohl didn't buy Sound City, he bought the Neve recording console that lived there since the early 70s and was responsible for many legendary albums, including Nevermind. That console is the centerpiece for his studio 606, which is the Foo Fighters home base.
Sound City closed in 2012 but was re-opened a few years ago under new owners. Cheers!
Interesting vlog. I don't know much about this kind of music. but I still find the story interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us, Jordan. You and Jah take care and be safe out there.
THE FLUID!!! Never got the recognition they Deserved
love the owners kitty
I use to drive by that place when I lived in Madison. Never knew. Thank you!
A great many thanks to the very generous lady who now owns the property. Also thank you Jordan, not only for all these terrific vlogs, but for all the research that goes into every broadcast.
$500 for a 12 hour day in 1989 is still a great price to record at that quality. Back in the 70's the Swampers at Muscle Shoals were charging Bob Seger $1,500 a song! But the Swampers were playing all the instruments on the session too, so that price included each musicians pay for each song. The end product I think was worth it. The production quality on Bob's songs like Mainstreet is as good as it gets.
Thanks Jordan for doing this it was one of your best
Haha! Your luck never ceases to amaze me when it comes to the right place at the right time! So cool that the owner let you in and walk around! Very nice lady!
Real cool, good on that lady! Really nice of her to offer that little tour up.
Thanks awesome place I enjoyed watching
Awesome video Jordan! I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Great story teller.
Glad to hear it!
How cool, great video as always Buddy
Thanks you
Huge fan of this era thanks so much
I had so much fun in that studio. I wish they would have kept it there.
Loved that!
Jordan what an amazing story I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the tour . With the recent passing of Vigg he was one of kind .
Vig is alive and well buddy.
Kurt wanted Wallace to mix nevermind because he wanted them to sound like slayer albums since Wallace mixed those
Great video!! TY!
what great piece of history you found
Very Awesome Vlog!!
hey Jordan where ya been glad you still killin it
I’ve driven by this building thousands of times. I didn’t realize that was where Smart Studios was until this video. Madison has such random connections to music, from tragic, Otis Redding’s plane crash, to Elvis jumping out of his limo to save a guy from getting beat up, to Van Halen trashing a hotel room.
I actually made another video last trip going to all three places you mentioned
@@DazewithJordantheLion I am always surprised there isn’t more of a deal made about Otis Redding? I realize it was tragic, but it is a part of the history of music and Madison. Madison was also where Clyde Stubblefield spent his last years. He would play quite regularly in town.
Just realised how similar a shape the Reciprocal Recording building, Sun Studio and this building are 🤯
I've always wondered what happend to the neon microphone sign that was in the window above the door ...it was,there for years after the building was boarded and one day just gone...I hope it was saved somewhere ... I lived in that few block area for years the madison isthmus is great I alway loved the history ... you should have stopped at Monona terrace and do an Otis Redding plane crash video
I was about to leave a comment saying how happy I was to see you again (I used to watch your videos all the time but never subscribed and TH-cam stopped recommending your videos in my feed) but then I heard you mentioning that Steve Albini had passed away...
I didn't know!
I looked it up and read that he died at 61 from a heart attack.
God damn it...
It wasn't vaccine related, that's misinfo
@@losethOS88 All I heard was that he had a heart attack. Are people associated his heart attack with the vaccine?!
@@losethOS88 All I've heard was that he died from a heart attack. Are some people claiming that his heart attack was related to a vaccine?!
@@losethOS88 All I've heard was that he died from a heart attack. Ar there people claiming he had a heart attack because of that?
awesome to see where it all began for Nirvana, luv these 90s bands best music ever
Kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.
Jordan, This one's a 💎
Very Cool 👍✌️
God you never disappoint
actually, NIRVANA was still with Sub Pop at the time. Bruce and Jonathan thought they were recording for the Next album to be released on Sub Pop. instead, NIRVANA took the Smart tapes and shopped them around the big record labels. when Geffen picked them up, they still owed that album to Sub Pop. because Krist had insisted they have contracts, Sub Pop got royalties from Nevermind, and their name along side of Geffen. saved the company, which is still in business. very interesting to actually see Smart studios.
Are you reading my mind? Just watched Frank Zappa's Studio yesterday. The seeds of the past are planted for the future and it's here with 100,000+ "Zappa Smart" home studios across the globe.
I've been to Madison.
So cool brother you got very Lucky!!✌️🇺🇲
Very!
Your dog is adorable 😍
It's sad to see an amazing studio turned into just a house again 😭
Saw Nirvana pearl jam and the red hot chilled peppers all on the same bill at Asu civic center in 92!
Dude, how did you not mention Everclear's 'Sparkle and Fade' album! WOW!!!!
So many could be named from here. I agree, that was an awesome album too
Sparklehorse also recorded here..and soul asylum.. id be naming off great records all day :)
Thought I was having an LSD flashback when I saw that picture of the Pumkins at 10:30.
Was L7 - bricks are heavy recorded here, or any of there records?
Urge Overkill recorded there too, their early stuff
do reciprocal next !! in seattle
That building looks like micks gym in rocky!
Cute dog
E Wash & Blair! Madcity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think Dave owns Sound City. He DOES own the MIXING CONSOLE that was at Sound City and used on HUNDREDS of platinum recordings.
Great music 🎼 grunge
my daydream~Darcy***
How much is rent ? Why is she living in a studio thats crazy
Wow. I wonder how much she paid for that place?
