Geetarz Comments:

Some things do get better with age, and the 2000 “CSNY2K” tour was a personal favorite. This, to me, is the cream of the crop, and one of my personal all-time favorite “Desert Island” discs.

The 2000 tour featured new takes on old classics, and somehow bridged the ages, bringing old and new into a harmonious, rocking whole.

The first years of the 21st Century were also a “golden age” of ALD recordings, before their alternate uses became more widely known and many venues shut the technology down. There are quite a number of ALDs from the CSNY2K tour – some of which, sadly, are still in the clutches of hoarders. This one, luckily, saw the light of day.

ALD recordings of course have their technical limitations, including reduced dynamic range, lack of bass, and attenuated high end. Luckily the Professor at 3BR was able to work his sonic magic on this recording, and really bring it to life.

If you’re into vocal harmonies, loud crunchy guitar, and close-miked soundboards – this is sonic heaven.

Beyond recommended … ESSENTIAL!

Geetarz Comments:

This recording on the Silver Horse label purports to be the “Original Live Recording From the Archives”. However, it is
the same source as that of the complete show as found among private collectors. The difference is that this release has
been remastered, or as the back cover art boldly insists, 24 BIT DIGITAL REMASTERING SONIC SOUND by SLUNKY at EASTER
STUDIO”. Which likely means it was done by some bootleggerin his basement.

In even more cover art superlatives, we have “artwork by YSproduction, Produced by ULYSSES”.

With all that aside, on to the important part – how does itsound? Well, it sounds like a lightly remastered version of
a fair (at best) audience recording, and it will be up to the individual listener to determine which is preferable,
this or the original (un-remastered) source. The remaster, as viewed on a Frequency Analysis, actually has less dynamic
range, as efforts have been made to reduce audience noise, and then hiss reduction and a corresponding increase in the
upper end so it doesn’t sound too dull.

To recap, in the end, it’s a personal choice, so best to try a track or two of each and choose your preference. Either way,
you’re a winner, as the listener who can overlook the sonic limitations of the recording will be rewarded by a fantastic
performance.

The cover art claims that the bonus tracks on disc 2 (*) were recorded at the Fillmore West, San Francicso, on February 23,
1970. According to the EC Tourography (www.ectours.de), Delaney and Bonnie and Friends played the Fillmore West in San Francisco
on February 19-22, 1970, but not on the 23rd. Can anyone clarify this? Also please note that the bonus tracks are pretty rough,
and contain some issues found on the source. I’d advise to just
consider this for the main material, and forget about the bonus
tracks, as they’re below the threshold of listenability.

Geetarz Comments:

This is, to my knowledge, the “complete” (or, as complete as
the source tape) version of this particular performance.

There is in circulation a single disc portion of this show
in collector circles, also released as “Keep On Growing”
(ECDR-701). That version is also from the same source
recording.

As with many D&D recordings, the recording is probably
subpar for the average listener; however, those that can
overlook the limitation of the source material will be
rewarded with a fantastic performance.

– This is an old song I wrote a while back when I was in my protest period.
I’m still in that period actually. (before Masters Of War)
– Here’s an old song right here, Tom and I are gonna sing for you.
I think it was first recorded by Lefty Frizzell.
(before I Forgot More Than You’ll Ever Know)
– Ricky Nelson did a lot of my songs so I wanna do one of his.
This is called Lonesome Town. (plays Lonesome Town) Thank you. Thank you Ricky.
– Thank you. All right I wanna thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing
me up tonight. If there’s a better band that’s ever played with me I don’t
know the one. Anyway, on the keyboards, Benmont Tench.
On the drums, Stan Lynch.
On the lead guitar, Michael Campbell.
On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty,
a gentleman of the highest order. (before Like A Rolling Stone)
– All right, thank you, we …. We’re gonna sing Happy Birthday now to somebody.
Tom got all these songs that the audience always sings. I don’t have any.
So this is mine. Anyway, we wanna sing Happy Birthday to a very special person
who’s here tonight. I didn’t get her a present so I wanna sing Happy Birthday
that’s gonna be my present. Her name is Madelyn.
– All right. This song is Rock Me Momma, Don’t You Know Your Daddy Wants To Rock.
