Review from the Old Grey Cat: http://www.geocities.com/%7Eoldgreycat/csny/neillondon.htm

It says something about his confidence in himself that at this February 27th, 1971 solo
concert Neil included 11 new songs among a 20-song set. Or is that 21-song set? According
to Johnny Rogan’s book The Visual Documentary, “Flying on the Ground Is Wrong” was also
performed that night but, alas, it’s not included here.

What is here, however, is pure genius. Presenting himself in the singer-songwriter mode then
in vogue, Neil shapes a delicate and incisive set for an appreciative–and quiet–audience.
Compare this set to, say, later solo Neil, and what comes across most is the slow dissolve of
innocence and the dwelling on the down and dour; but, of course, that “dissolve” is the
domain (primarily) of the young, and here it’s captured by one of the best equipped
chroniclers of such stuff in the arts today. It doesn’t matter, really, how rich or poor you
are, whether you’re a rock star or a kid just out for a good time–eventually, life catches
up to you.

Typical for a Neil show, highlights abound: “Journey Through the Past” and a drop-dead,
beautiful “Love in Mind” are two such moments. Quite a few songs that eventually surfaced on
Harvest are also presented minus that album’s MOR-ish sheen. Shorn of embellishments,
“Old Man,” “Out on the Weekend,” “Heart of Gold,” “A Man Needs a Maid,” “Harvest” and
“The Needle & the Damage Done” come across as what they, in truth, are: songs from a young
man’s soul.

The sound quality is stellar throughout, with a minimum of hiss and audience noise. Even the
most novice fan would/should enjoy it. (A)

I love this performance, early 70s solo Neil at his peak. One of his best concerts and a fabulous audience recording !
I’ve traded this show in various formats throughout the years and was NEVER satisfied with it.
Usually, the pitch was way off, I’ve seen and heard versions both too slow and too fast.
The last one I got was grabbed from another tracker, excellent pitch work but, alas, some of the
hilarious between-tune banter was cut from the original BootCD source used for that torrent.
Aditionally, the sound [in my opinion] was not quite as excellent as one would have hoped for.
So I went back to my old DAT I’ve received about 10 years ago, described by my usually well informed trading-partner
as coming from a 3rd generation cassette. I’ve had already started to work on this a couple of years ago but now I’ve
finished it in a long, exhausting session, painstakingly removing about 50 tiny spots of static, some of which are on the other
versions as well, some are unique to this transfer. I just hope I’ve found them all …
% indicates a break in recording, likely on the master.
I left most of the microphone bumps etc. untouched, just cut out one or two that were really disturbing and could be removed
without interfering with the musical content. The original DAT ran a bit too fast so I had to re-pitch it completely, with results
very similar as that recent torrent. Otherwise, I did not harm the sound of this fantastic audience recording in any way.
Naturally, there is some tape hiss but I’ve heard much worse. Here’s hoping that one of these days, we’ll get this straight from the master.
No re-mastering, eq’ing etc. was ‘performed’ and if you wish to do so, do it for your own pleasure in your hobby room…

Danke schˆn! Danke SCH÷N! DANKE SCH÷N!! (after Simple Twist Of Fate)

A lot of people in America are concerned about Germany getting reunited.
At times you got to remind people Hitler wasn’t German at all! (before Masters Of War).

Here’s one of my early songs written for a guy that taught me a lot. (before Song To Woody).

Thank you!! It’s always a pleasure to play in this part of the world where Elvis spent so much time… (before Gates Of Eden).

Joan Baez used to tell me: “you keep singing that song, boy, and you’re gonna be a star!” (before Blowin’ In The Wind).

Geetarz Comments:

The second performance in a special 4-night run in Japan with
Elton John and Mark Knopfler, this performance was broadcast both
on Japanese radio and television.

The radio and television broadcasts each had a slightly different
mix, and for this, Mid Valley was able to source the pre-FM audio
mix that would later be used for the radio broadcast.

This broadcast mix features a bit more “atmosphere” and crowd
noise, the sort of thing I’ve always nicknamed the “live radio
show mix”. In the past I’ve described some other shows as “crispy”,
“crunchy”, “hot close-miked SBD” … and this isn’t any of those.
It’s a far more “open” sounding recording, as the engineers try to
balance the soundboard and audience recordings.

All presented and packaged in typical Mid Valley quality, par
excellence.

tour of Japan. Special guests on this tour also included (*) Mark
Knopfler on guitar and (**) Elton John on piano.

This performance was recorded and broadcast on Japanese TV and Radio.
This, however, is the audience recording of that performance, and
