Here is a belated Christmas present for all those at Dime
who are Neil Young fans; Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

Since I wasn’t at this show and therefore obviously did
NOT record it, this will be fairly short & sweet. I got
this tape in a trade about 17 years ago from somebody
close to the taper. This fine gentleman gave me the
following information about this recording:

The tape is an analog recording made on an inexpensive but
good-quality analog cassette recorder, mic and model unknown.
It was taped very close to the stage. There is very little
audience chatter but some crowd noise but at the music volume
this is not an issue. Surprisingly there is no distortion.
There are no problems with the tape. The taper seems to have
edited out most of the on-stage banter between songs if there
was any ; I’ve seen Neil several times and he’s not exactly a
chatterbox like Ian Anderson who should probably shut the hell
up and play more music (just my opinion, don’t get mad !). IMHO,
this is a vg plus to excellent minus recording leaning closer to ex-.
This one rivals the SQ of my last upload (NY & CH, Milwaukee, WI 1/24/1991)
but is not quite as good. I’ve been told that NY & CH shows from 1991
are fairly rare and good ones are really rare so if I were you,
I’D PICK THIS UP !!! I upped this for all the great people at Dime
who have enlarged my collection to the point of idiocy. If you like
Neil, you NEED this show. I’ll post a sample for those who need one
but believe me when I tell you, this show is worth having.
The usual: no buy, no sell, no mp3. Please seed as long as you
can. This will make a lot of people happy so Mr Natural sez
“Enjoy this while you can !!!” Have fun, don’t freak out and
savor the concert. Smoke ’em if you got ’em and give Uncle Neil
some again, just like last time……….
