I remember a funny scene in the documentary about the making of the 1985 concert and recording. The producer (is that Jay David Saks?) is listening to a playback of an ensemble number with the girls ("Who's that Woman"??) and Elaine Stritch is singing a loud note in another key than the rest of the ladies in her trademark dulcet whiskey & cigarettes tone. The producer winces at the ruined harmony and says "Elaine f*cking Stritch!!!". Was that Saks?
I also wonder if he was one of the producers of the "Company" recording where she could get "The Ladies Who Lunch" down in the session and they had to prerecord the orchestra and she came in for a make-up session to get it down for posterity. That scene is in the Pennebaker documentary.
