Neil Young – Rebel Content Tour, 2015

Neil Young
Rebel Content Compilation, 2015

Here is a great compilation I recently received from Rust list members. Compiled by Ron Yaxley(REYaxley).

All files in FLAC format.
Text below from Rons original e-mail.
In the recent Rolling Stone article about Neil and Promise of The Real finishing off their second album for release in June, Neil is quoted as saying “It’s like a live show, but it’s not like a live show….. It’s not conventional … but it is based on live performance.”

While we eagerly wait for that new album, there is still nothing like a Neil Young live show. The vast majority of the Rebel Content shows in the USA and Canada in 2015 were captured by tapers and uploaded to Dime so it was perhaps inevitable that a live comp would probably appear before too long.

The origins of this comp lie with Tom Zumafan and Soldier Steve who between them put together a 6-CD compilation of their favorite tracks from the Rebel Content tour. It wasn’t widely circulated or publicized but it existed. During the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure of working with Tom and Steve to ‘remaster’ the original with the objective of turning it into six continuous live albums. Tracks have been edited and merged as best I could from the individual files to make it sound like one long concert. Some of the original cuts were changed for different versions that lent themselves better to track-to-track transition, and the original order of the tracks was also changed in places to make them fit together better. Every song played on the tour is covered here bar one, Rockin’ In The Free World….it was played twice but no decent recordings have surfaced unfortunately. To quote a Neil song from 1985, nothing is perfect and what has been created is only as good as all of the source material.
It was challenging editing different shows together but we think it worked and it sounds pretty damn good!
It was great fun working on this, so my grateful thanks to Tom and Steve for their generosity, their patience while all of this was being put together, and their unqualified approval of the end result.

So, 62 songs, over 6 hours of Neil + POTR live. Enjoy!

Ron
