Just Like The Plant in Sausalito, this one is hard to beat. The Eagles recorded parts of Hotel California here, Derek and The Dominos recorded The Layla album here, The Allman Brothers recorded the remainder of Eat A Peach here after Duane died. Neil Young along with Stephen Stills formed THESTILLS/YOUNG BAND and cut the Long May You Run album here. Black Sabbath recorded their 1980 masterpiece HEAVENANDHELL with Vocalist Ronnie James Dio at the helm. AC/DC’s Highway To Hell was recorded here, and Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded here. At one time back in the 70’s/80’s and 90’s there was a Producer, now this guy was one of the best Record Producers in History, sadly he’s no longer with us, his name-TOM DOWD. Tom Dowd basically ran Criteria at one point. A Production Genius, there will never be another Tom Dowd. Criteria and The Hit Factory in NYC have joined forces, so Criteria Studios is now called-The Hit Factory at Criteria.
