  3 hours with Rick Beato interviewing Daniel Lanois?   We're gonna need a bigger like button.  😂   All of these interviews are so great.

  It was like spending 3 hours with two friends, sitting in front of them, talking about music marvels, unheard experiences … thanks Rick. This is magic.

  so great to see Danny again after all these years. Up hear in toronto i was so lucky to record a ton of sessions with him when he was engineering at his Grant Ave studio. My last session with him was playing drums for his sister who was a bass player. A few days later he had called me to come by the studio & he could pay me. When i walked into the control room  as he was paying me i heard the sounds of jets landing & taking off over the speakers. He had asked if i wanted to stay to have a listen & i apologized as i had another session to go to. As i was leaving he said Rik i would like you to meet the gentleman who recorded those sounds and sitting on the couch in front of the mixing board was Brian Eno. This was just before he started working with Brian & U2. Loved working with him & his sweet brother Bob. We had some great times together:)

  Daniel Lanois is a treasure. If this interview were 8 hours long I'd still want more. 🧡

  Just started to watch this and want to say that the friendly, easy-going guy you see here is the real Lanois. He has a studio around the corner from me here in the Roncesvalles area of Toronto and I&apos;ve seen him and his buddies around the hood lots of times, and he is very approachable. Even has done several concerts in the hood, played at the local bars etc. There is a cafe I go to a lot and the 20-somethings who are behind the counter will often play entire albums - so you might go in and hear all of &quot;Can&apos;t Buy A Thrill&quot; by Steely Dan, or &quot;Tapestry.&quot; Once, they were playing &quot;Led Zeppelin II&quot; and Lanois walks in and says, &quot;What a coincidence! I had Robert Plant over yesterday!&quot;

  Another unmatched contribution from Rick Beato to the history of contemporary music.

  Mr. Lanois talked sbout preparing the studio for Neal Young. As an interviewer Rick is just fantastically thoughtful and skilled. The interviewee can tell Rick has given thought to the encounter and the results show. These sessions should be preserved in the Library of Congress.

  I first heard of Daniel Lanois from playing Red Dead Redemption II. &nbsp;“That’s the way it is” was absolutely perfectly emotional haunting song for the main character of the game. &nbsp;Love it

  This is THE best Daniel Lanois interview ever... I&apos;ve seen them all, multiple times. 3 hours covered so much ground and Ricks point of view and questions are so much more in line with what Lanois fans want to know about. Really, some of the best &quot;never before asked&quot; questions were finally asked. The best part was seeing Daniel open up and relax in a way he rarely does in interviews. Rick spoke his language and Daniel shares a lot. Thank you for this.

  As a guy who has had deep appreciation for everything Lanois has ever done this is by far the best interview I’ve ever seen of him . Nicely done Rick and crew:)
