The man has a gift.

Cheers!
BTW God Bless John Sffera, for making the first move to reunite Phil and Dan.
What literally used to cost tens of millions of dollars in building a high quality studio in the 80s can now be had for under 5 thousand dollars. and that includes the cost of a stable high end computer and a pair of high quality studio monitors.
You can literally download for free a fully functional high end digital music production system that would make what the Beatles recorded on comparable to the difference between the first Wright Brothers plane and the Starship Enterprise.
Many bands now just build their own studios and lay down the tracks and then maybe they take the rough mix to a high end studio for final mixdown and mastering BUT, even those processes are becoming so easy due to new highly sophisticated digital software that can literally compensate for "room acoustics" and give you that "sweet sound" that used to be the purview of the wizards of the audio world the "mastering engineers"...
Can the pros in those big studios do it better?
Absolutely, in most cases.
But "better" used to be because they had a huge advantage in being able to use equipment only the elite in the recording world could get their hands on.
Now literally anyone can have the equipment on their computer and if you actually study the great albums and do some research you can get a sound so close that only a professional would know the difference.
The vast majority of music consumers (99.99%) would not be able to tell any difference at all.
