1chucho notes:

Third night of the Chrome Dreams II tour, October 22, 2007. This is arguably the best recording and performance of the tour. The sound is warm and upfront while the audience is enthusastic, but very respectful. This one is why I love ARs more than SDBs. The highlight for me is “A Man Needs a Maid.” Neil moves seamlessly between the synth and piano and, vocally, delivers an emotional wallop. “Love is a Rose” is dedicated to Stephen, whoever that is 😉 . “No Hidden Path” continues to grow stronger and “Hurricane” makes its first appearance of the tour.

The taper and original uploader (back in 2007) are unknown. I ripped my CD-Rs using dBpoweramp and created new checksums with TLH. Thull’s excellent artwork is included in this torrent (a reseed of sorts). Original infofile included (Pegi’s opening set not included in this torrent).

Finally, get Americana and see Neil and Crazy Horse on tour this fall in the U.S.!

Enjoy,
