Performance-wise, a song like this really needs something unique in the production, arrangement, or instrumental work to elevate it, but the Byrds don't bring anything to the table besides mediocrity. This type of rocker is outside their wheelhouse to begin with

Well, Ron Howard took over in late June 2017 and redid more than 70% of the film, plus 100% of the post-production. You can do quite a bit in 11 months, especially if you're working 6-7 days a week (which reportedly they did). I would bet the main things Howard could not do were to change much of the script or alter any of the sets or design, but everything else would be in his wheelhouse.

My wife and I were at Chicago's Music Box theater tonight for film critic Mark Caro's "Is It Still Funny" series showing of Galaxy Quest. (Answer: It is. And he acknowledged that he was wrong in his original review.) Anyway, I showed one of the programmers at the Music Box the clip I posted, and he said that he'd love to show it, that it was perfectly in their wheelhouse. He was searching for a distributor when we left.

The high school stuff was Lee and Ditko's wheelhouse, and it was all updated in such a respectful way. I loved those scenes as much as the thrill-ride scenes, of which there were many, each unique and completely satisfying.

I feel the same way about James Stewart, although that in no way detracts from me being a huge fan of both actors. They both would push the persona from time to time, but audiences mostly preferred them in their wheelhouse.

For performances less than a month apart, there's a pretty clear dichotomy here. 5/6/78 is faster and more aggressive while 4/12/78 is slower and sweeter. 4/12/78 plays right into my personal "Peggy-o" wheelhouse, so not much of a contest here.

I can count 19 or 20 bands working in roughly the same genres as the Crowes- some of them very well known- who never made one record this good. And around a dozen singers in the Stonesy blues-rock/Southern rock/funk-rock wheelhouse- some of them of practically legendary status and mass popularity- who aren't as good as Chris Robinson.

I don't think bebop or fusion jazz would have been Jimi's thing, but adding his own stylistic twists to the Wes Montgomery arrangements of Beatles songs, or writing songs or playing covers in the "soul jazz "mode of Horace Silver, would have been right in his wheelhouse.

It is worthy of note that many classically trained musicians have little familiarity with improvising at all; they are often uncomfortable doing it, even within a simple structure, with the result that the music made when they try often isn't as compelling as that made by someone at ease in that wheelhouse.)

I think when the great bands (and I do think BOC is a great band) branch out, they often have good results, hit the target, even though they may not be COMPLETELY in their wheelhouse or maybe striving for more commercialism (which is a rabbit hole type criticism at times - in the sense that everyone wants their music to sell at least reasonably well) and I think BOC largely did that.

AHDN is recognized by movie buffs as one of the greatest movies ... not just rock musicals, movies ... ever made. But it was a complete and total catch lightning in a bottle accident because it was intended to be a quickie to capitalize on the fad before it imploded. There were just a whole bunch of talented people involved on both sides of the camera who pulled it off with pennies to work with.
Something like that wasn't in the Stones' wheelhouse.

His contributions, perhaps more than any other member, were what elevated their music into something transcendent and sublime. And as a keyboardist, he's the perfect example of someone who knew how to work with (and within) his own limits -- focusing on the timbral beauty and chordal invention that were in his wheelhouse, and never overreaching.

I just got through the first set of 1/22/78 and of major significance is The Music Never Stopped. I've always loved the rockin' endings to these, but the middle section, just after the vocals end, has always been a favorite segment for me due to how nebulous it is and it almost always seemed a bit wonky with an awkward drop into Jerry's guitar solo. Not on 1/22/78; no way, no how. It's a nice, extended foggy jam that drops seamlessly into Jerry's wheelhouse.
