One of your previous responses inspired this question of mine (Thanks for doing this, btw!):
Are there any recording habits you don't like to hear in (recorded) songs? I particularly don't like fades at the end of songs, because I think it's kind of a let-down after listening to a song for 3 1/2 minutes. I'm always very happy to hear some of the live versions of songs you guys do to "counteract" fades in Al's songs.

Re: Fades In Songs
I've never thought about whether a fade is a good or bad thing, it just is what it is. Same goes for any other production or performance aspect of a recording, it's presented in the way the artist intended, and is therefore correct. That's not to say that I might not handle a song differently if I was in charge, but I rarely feel that something turned out badly.
There are some egregious gaffs in recorded music, but they date back 40+ years and are few and far between. Artists and producers and record labels don't tolerate many organic or just plain bad mistakes.
