Neil Young & The Trans Band – Europe 1982

In 1982 Neil Young switched record labels, leaving Reprise which he had been with since the beginning to sign with the relatively new Geffen Records. The first record he released was Trans, an album so screwy his label sued him for trying to sabotage his own career. He used a vocoder on half the tracks making his voice unintelligible. Anyway, you all probably know more about this stuff than I do. This is where I admit I don’t know the full history of Neil’s storied career as much as I’d like.

He took the Trans Band (which I believe was mostly just Crazy Horse under a different name) out on tour through Europe in the fall of 1982. I had fun collecting the tour and you might have noticed that I’ve been posting those shows for the last few weeks. I think I have at least one source from every show except 09/21 Rotterdam. If anyone has that in lossless quality please send it my way. If you have alternate sources for any shows I’ll take them too.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this tour. It seems like people think it is a good one. Here’s where I admit I haven’t really listened to any of them yet. Been too busy with other stuff.

Trying to make Luca less desperate, here’s a show he’s searching for.
This was the first concert of this 1982 European tour, apparently on a rainny day.

Unfortunately, it’s not complete; the taper traded probably only a 90 minutes cassette and
3 songs are missing (Hurricane, Cinnamon girl and Hey hey, my my).
Other flaws: Like an inca is 2 times cutted and the end of Mr soul is missing.
That’s the way i got it …

My tape is probably from 2d generation.
Quality: check samples; no subjective eq made.

A pic of the show is added (i remember i saw a short sequence of the begining of the tour on TV news and at the moment Neil still had long hair).

TDK SA Cassette played on a Marrantz SD4051 deck with pitch adjustment; zoom H4 for wave files; PC;
audacity for tracking; FLAC.

I found this in my basement, looking for some stuff to save on cd’s and I thought may be someone would
like to listen to this one.
The set list is usual but the show is a little bit longer than others.
As long as i remember, 1st gen tapes were lended by my old friend XP and i made equalized copies.
Seems the show is recorded near to the speakers and the sound is very correct after the first song.
The concert features an extended like an inca version.
Thanks to the taper.
