The Dead Daisies – We’re An American Band Mixing
I proudly mixed The Dead Daisies’ live version of “We’re An American Band,” the classic Grand Funk Railroad hit. Released during the band’s Live & Louder era, the recording features John Corabi, Doug Aldrich, Marco Mendoza, Brian Tichy, and David Lowy.
Mixing the Live Performance
My goal was to capture the excitement of a live Dead Daisies concert while keeping every instrument clear and powerful.
I created a wide guitar sound, kept John Corabi’s vocals front and center, and strengthened the rhythm section for maximum impact. In addition, I preserved the audience ambience. As a result, the mix delivers an authentic live rock experience.
Performance and Success
Originally released by Grand Funk Railroad in 1973, “We’re An American Band” remains one of rock’s most recognizable anthems. The Dead Daisies gave the song a modern hard rock sound while introducing it to a new generation of listeners.
Today, the official music video has surpassed 3.75 million YouTube views. In addition, the song has generated millions of streams and views across major digital platforms.
Final Thoughts
Mixing The Dead Daisies – We’re An American Band remains one of my favorite live projects. The recording highlights how professional mixing can capture the energy, power, and excitement of a live rock performance.
