OldNeumanntapr Notes-
My friend John Lech recorded this Neil Young acoustic show. I met John when he patched into me at the Sunday, August 6th 1989, Cal Expo Grateful Dead show. John had his WM-D3 then but soon upgraded to an Aiwa HD-X1 DAT portable, and finally to a Panasonic SV-255. This was one of the first tapes I received from him in trade, and I believe it was one of the first stealth concerts that he recorded. Unfortunately, his levels were really high and the crowd noise is really loud! I’ve never seen another recording from this night. I remember that John said that the security was really tight at this show and he was lucky to get his gear inside. I just wish the crowd wouldn’t have been so vocal, and distorted. At one point Neil comments about the ‘Tree People’, the folks who watch the show from the trees that surround the Greek Theatre. He said that when he played the Greek 20 years before, in 1969, with Crosby Stills and Nash that people were in the trees then too. He said that some of those people today have big houses, and some are homeless, and that he was glad that he was still here. (Neil Diamond also commented on the ‘tree people’ at the Greek on his 1971 ‘Hot August Night’ LP.) David Crosby and Graham Nash join Neil for ‘Ohio’. Thanks to Dennis Orr for trying to work his post production magic on this one, but I think it might be ‘Too Far Gone’. 😉

**note** Simple Twist of Fate was cut on the DAT. I was able to patch the balance of what the cassette master captured before it ran out of tape as well. So,… Simple Twist of Fate is cut, and is repaired to the best of my abilities. It is mostly there, but still just %

OldNeumanntapr Notes- This was the second time that I saw Bob, but only the first time that I had recorded him. The first Dylan concert I saw was in 1986 at the Paso Robles Mid-State Fair when he played with Tom Petty. I only had my Sony TC-153SD at the time and knew I could never get it past security, especially in the daylight. The Cal Poly Rec Center is a general admission venue, and it’s kind of a strange set up. The bleachers are on either side of the stage, at a 90 degree angle. There is a small section of open floor in front of the stage, with the soundboard in the rear. The building is not that deep, but really wide, with most of the seating on either side of the stage. I was approximately 8th row for this show, counting heads from the stage. I remember that there was three separate searches to get into the venue, and a friend of my friend Dave turned to me once we got inside and said, ‘Gee it’s too bad that you couldn’t get your tape recorder in through all that security.’ I just smiled and said, ‘Don’t worry about it. Everything is cool.’ I thought the show was good, though I didn’t know a lot of the songs. Bob’s repertoire is huge, and I’m not familiar with a lot of his material. Asleep At The Wheel opened, and I recorded them also. I hope everyone enjoys this one. My recording has been traded a few times and seeded once before on TTD.
