Neil Young 1991-02-23 Eisenhower Hall, West Point, New York

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Eisenhower Hall, West Point, New York
February 23, 1991

Alternate version. Even though this recording is a little hot in places, is incomplete and have no known lineage, imho this is a huge upgrade to the other version. Agovigli did what he could with that but it was always one of the lesser sounding 1991 recordings. After reading a comment from fellow Dimer horatio on that version it was a big surprise for me to learn that this different source exists. He then kindly sent me his version to remove the gaps from his TAO-recorded CD's.  Horatio's comments on his version below the setlist.

As always, if someone has this with known linage and ideally without the fades in Blowin' In The Wind and Love To Burn, please upload and this can be deleted.

A note from horatio:

"I received this show several years ago in a trade, unfortunately the previous copy had been burnt with the two second gaps between the tracks and so they were passed onto my copy too.

I know nothing about the recording equipment used or the tape generation (presumably it is the master or a low gen, because of the clarity of the sound, but I don't know).

It is an excellent recording in my opinion, very clear sounding - however, it is very loud, and thus a few tracks have moments of mic distortion in them (The noise sections of "Like A Hurricane in particular are affected a bit)."
