Master - Audience recording from my old Maxell XL II Tapes

My Artwork is included !!

This concert I taped with an old AIWA walkman and an extra stereo-microphone
(I can't remember what exact equipment I used those days), but what I do remember
that it was my first concert I taped with that equipment. (..and that there was
another guy standing diredctly beneath me also taping.
A long time friend of mine since then!!)

The sound quality is very good. This is a real and typical open air-recording
with many people around my microphone talking and shouting (specially
on these loud numbers like "Birds").
I recorded it in the middle of the audience about 25 meters from the stage on the left side.

This was my very first ever Neil Young in concert-experience in a long row.
..and for me it started with the worst.
I saw him so many times afterwards, but this here wasn't a real good start.
As I listened to it after many years I thought: oh, great start, but after half that
concert it's getting boring: so many bad songs, for example "Like an Inca" is way too
long - played here that evening with that band. I would love to hear it with the Horse,
could be there for 60 minutes, but not that version you will listen to here. And
the Hurricane is just a quick played simple Hurricane played for the about 50.000 people
on the field.
Anyway, as this is from my master. it's worth a download and put it in your collection.
