notes: New Mama missing from this copy
there are edits, the show is a tad hot in spots and there is some hiss.
listen to the samples :-)
But.......this is the historic show where Neil just walks off the stage after just starting Southern Man.
You can hear Graham Nash say "what about all of these people?"

Here's what Pete Long wrote in Ghosts On The Road (pg 55) :
Towards the end of the tour Young abandoned the early acoustic set as a response to the rowdiness of the audiences.
In particular, the concert at The Oakland Coliseum became infamous.
During Southern Man a fan, making his way towards the stage, was set upon by a securityguard.
Seeing this happen Young stopped playing and amid the confusion left the stage.
Unfortunately many members of the audience did not appreciate exactly what was going on and their response was predictably hostile.
(thanks Pete)

Neil Young 1973-03-17 Seattle Coliseum Seattle, WA

Neil Young & The Stray Gators w. David Crosby:
Harvest/Time Fades Away Tour-Seattle Coliseum-March 17, 1973-
Master Tape-OFFENDING TRACK REMOVED

Master tape>dat>cd-r>Bias Peak Pro 5>XACT>flac

The Stray Gators:
Ben Keith-pedal steel
Tim Drummond-bass
Johnny Barbata-drums
Jack Nitzsche-piano.
(Young replaced drummer Kenny Buttrey with Johnny Barbata halfway through the Harvest/Time Fades Away 1973 Tour after Young kept complaining that Buttrey wasn't playing loud enough.)

This was a controversial tour.
To capitalize on the enormous sales of the "Harvest" album, Young's management booked Young & The Stray Gators on a lengthy three-month tour of America,
playing in large arenas (venues that Neil disparagingly called "barns"), from January 5 to March 31, 1973.
Band members, well aware that "Harvest" was raking in the money, put Young in a sour mood right off the bat by demanding $100,000 each for the tour.
Young got angry, agreed, and then said, "Are ya happy now? Is that gonna make you play better?"

On top of that, not long before the first concert, on November 18, 1972, guitarist Danny Whitten (also in Crazy Horse) overdosed on the same day that Neil kicked him out of the band.
Whitten was "too far gone" to even remember how to play the songs during tour rehearsals.
Young had hoped that being in a band and going on tour would inspire Whitten to clean up his act and rediscover his talent as a musician.
It didn't, and Whitten folded under the pressure. Young wrote "Don't Be Denied" (performed at this Seattle concert) on November 19, the day after Whitten overdosed on alcohol and Valium.

The 1973 tour itself was a wild, unpredictable ride across the country, a Jekyll and Hyde affair.
The demands, pressures, and expectations of the crowds, management, and personalities in the band got to Neil.
Neil drank lots of tequila and was often unpleasant to be around. He yelled at Kenny Buttrey.
Jack Nitzsche yelled at Neil and even took a leak on the carpet of Young's hotel room.
The vibes in the band were frequently tense. The Stray Gators were loaded much of the time on smoke, booze, and coke.
Almost deliberately sabotaging his "Harvest" success, Young often got way "out there," and you never knew which Neil you were going to get on a given night.

Two-thirds of the way through the tour, Young lost his voice. Shows were rescheduled, and to help out, Crosby and Nash were added for the two last weeks of dates.
Their presence overloaded an already "heavy scene." Crosby got coked up and acted like "royalty," making himself a pain to be around.
Loaded in Long Beach, he actually fell off the stage and injured himself. The last night of the tour, March 31 in Oakland, was the scene of a riot after a cop beat up a rowdy fan.
The band fled the stage. Not exactly the high note you'd like to end a tour on.

So should we dismiss all of the Harvest/Time Fades Away 1973 concerts and subsequent "Time Fades Away" album documenting the tour? (Neil calls the album "The worst record I ever made.")
Absolutely not. This is one of my favorite all-time Young tours (along with 1976 & 1978).
I caught the band at a rescheduled show with Crosby & Nash in Phoenix (several songs from this show are on the "Time Fades Away" album) and the concert was marvelous.
The tour setlist is a killer, with many superb songs being performed. Many of these shows have a great "edgy" feel to them.
A number of them kick ass. Amidst the wild, ragged glory and abandon the bands plays with, there's definitely brilliance and sparks flying during the tour's best concerts.

This Seattle gig is one of these. Neil is in good humor and fine form. I do not hear Nash on this show, I think only Crosby guests on this one.
This is also one of the better-quality shows, sound-wise, from the 1973 tour. I rate it VG/EX. Song samples provided.
A lot of the information here comes from Neil's excellent authorized biography, "Shakey," by Jimmy McDonough, which is a must-read (1973 tour info is on pages 384-401).
Enjoy.

Notes:
JEMS master recording. This is a very good to excellent sounding recording. This recording has been available for years now but this is the first time the master reels have ever been properly digitized (April 2010). This show captures Neil Young and his backing band The Stray Gators touring in support of his Time Fades Away album. This is a good show but Neil is plagued with guitar problems and spends about a quarter of show tuning his guitar. Also of note David Crosby and Graham Nash join Neil onstage for Old Man.

Notes:
JEMS is proud to be able to partner with and present some of the choice recordings in the D & D archives. Some of these recordings have been around for years but none of the master tapes or safety copies in some cases have ever been digitized until now. Dave and Donn taped many shows in and around the Seattle area in the 70's and also were contemporaries of some of the JEMS members. Volume 22 captures Neil Young taped by Donn on a field trip down from the Pacific Northwest to California. This is an absolutely spectacular recording that has circulated for ages but most likely no copies have ever circulated from an analog source this close to the master prior.

I got this recently. I don't know the generation - sounds like 2nd or
3rd. It's got a little hiss,  however it's a pretty good recording.
The sound is full and detailed. This isn't one of the normal 1973
shows that floats around, so hopefully this fills a gap in some
collections. I'd love to find the master on this one. Anyone?

note from the taper:

This IS the "We Gonna Get You" master tape!  As Joe Ray recalls it;
"After Neil's comment to get me ('the guy with the microphone'), I held the
microphone where it could not be seen until 'The Loner' (uncomplete), when
I turned the deck off. I was sitting in the 5th row center and the roadies
were looking for me from the side of the stage.  The pressure was on me,...
if I would have been caught I would have been arrested, etc.,... so, I just
stopped taping. I put the expensive AKG D-1000-E microphone in my boot.
I lost the $40.00 Sony Portable Cassette Deck and the Microphone Cord by
saved the microphone and the tape.  I became much more stealthy when
recording shows after this incident!"

 Share freely, losslessly and gaplessly.
taper's notes:
 (from barndoggs master tape, uncirculated for 30+ years.)
there are a few problems with this tape.
I was sitting in a front aisle seat, and you can hear
alot of talking in the 1st song. the people next to me
were real pissed because people were standing in the aisle
and wouldn't sit down. security soon remedied that.
From don't be denied on there are some speed problems in
the recording, I think due to a faulty tape, since the
batteries were new.
remasterer's notes:
  most of this recording sounds pretty consistent, but it
goes south (further south than in "southern man") starting with
don't be denied. the last two songs don't sound too bad, but
tracks 14 and 15 have some variation, and the worst of it is
in southern man.
 the folks in Lynyrd Skynyrd might be glad about that.
they didn't like that one much.
 the last two songs may be a little slow, but this could use
a speed fix. I was thinking about giving it a try, then decided
why mess it up for everybody else even more than it already is?
this is basically the "raw files" posting of this show.
It's not as bad as I feared it might be, and most of it sounds okay.
none of it sounds wonderful. this is a 1973 Neil Young audience
recording at the Boston Garden, recorded on a primitive portable
Sonic Panic? recorder and microphone. so don't expect it to sound
like it was recorded on a Nakamichi recorder. But it is pretty good
for what it is, and it is from a master cassette > CD source.
 so there is no tape copy lineage of any kind here, no noise reduction,
EQ or shoddy (or otherwise) attempt to fix the speed problem.
this appears to be the whole concert.
thanks very much to "barndoggs" for recording this Neil show
and sharing it with me to share with all of you.
This one is even older than Neil's jeans worn on current tours.
so some of it is mellow, some of it rocks, and all of it's good old Neil.
almost good enough to put this in with "classic" rock.
 there is another less complete source of this show circulating,
but this is likely the first circulation of this recording.

notes:
This show has been bootlegged on two LPs, the first half (songs 1 to 9)
is from the bootleg LP called "Coming Home", the second half (songs 10
to 17) is from the bootleg LP called "A Bit More". This set is recorded
from those two bootlegs. The second bootleg was pressed on very bad
vinyl, and that's noticable in this recording (especially during Alabama
and New Mama).

I've been downloading the '73 feast of shows to compare to my sources if I didn't already have that particular version.  
To my ears the '73 Toronto show shared here in 2006 and brought alive again during this flood is way over processed
and sounds like a straight noise reduction tool was used to take out the hiss causing that noise reduction "swish".  
This did take out the hiss but also took out the high end,
It sounds boosted and closer which noise reduction will do but also sounds all mid range to me.

So whatever your preference is I decided to share this unprocessed version I transferred years ago without any noise reduction.
I might have used a touch of eq'ing on it but I just don't remember, unfortunately I didn't keep as good of transfer notes as tape trading notes before I got serious about the transfers.

The source I used for this transfer was very good with little hiss to begin with, my personal taste is I prefer this version as it has the high end restored and is a straight document of what the taper captured that night.

The one issue with this one is it is missing Neil announcing Time Fades Away but no music is missing.

I don't know the generation and kept detailed trade notes back in the day but there is no generation noted on this one.

This is a DAT clone reiceved in the 90's, and 1st time transfered.
I noted that some versions of this show was shared in different way :
1) from the bootleg CD Lonely Week-end (incomplete) 76 minutes
2) a complete version (Generation unknown CDR version) but using lots of filter to avoid the noises at the point that sound seems go out from a tube (About 91 minute)
3) a complete version with some cuts during the talks (Generation unknown - taken from analog tapes) - unprocessed (with all the noises) - but inferior quality at my ears.

My version come from a DAT clone of the analog master but with diginoises in "On the WAy Home" & "Time fades Away" + last song "Are you ready for the Country" was missing.

So I replaced and patched those songs with the tracks taken from the Bootleg CD "Lonely Week-end", and added the last song "Are you Ready For the Country"
from the filtered version and applyed a bit of equalization to sound similar at the all tracks of my transfer.

At the end Here to you the best in terms of sound quality and the more complete version of the Maple Leaf Gardens '73 show

Hope you enjoy

CDR > CDR > EAC> WAV> FLAC

Unknown generation of an audience recording.
Very decent sounding source with very little crowd noise.
Slight noticeable microphone noises. Slight tape hiss.
I have changed the track starting points to the beginning of the songs.
As a footnote:
Sugar Mountain website lists "Cowgirl In the Sand" as being the 6th song played.
I believe this may be in error as I can tell of no interuption between the two existing tracks.
And the tour setlists before and after this date do seem to coincide with this setlist.

In the early 1980’s a long time trading partner sent me a CDR copy of Neil’s Buffalo ’73 show from raw transfer directly from his first generation tapes as two un-mastered and un-edited tracks. I’ve listened to this show more times than I could possibly recall over the years and it has always been in the back of my mind to give it the deluxe treatment for release.

There is a very good second generation copy currently in general circulation. So, my challenge became how do I take an already very good capture of one of my favorite shows and take it to another level from this 1st generation copy.

Through modern technology and guidance from my partner at JEMS I am now able to seamlessly remove most offending noises without damaging the underlying music.

Using this technology, I have taken out close to 100 offending noises including whistles, coughs, mic bumps, close up audience chatter & laughter, chair creaks and noises that have no known origin. This is not a treatment I would give to very many shows or would recommend doing as it is a very manual process and losing ones mind is a distinct possibility but for this show, I think every second is worth it. It is not possible to take out every offending noise, if the offending frequency is too intertwined with the music to be extracted without damaging the music then it was not processed. The majority of the extractions occur during the acoustic portion of the show. It's a painstaking task and I hope you all agree it was worth the effort.

In addition, the usual mastering details that go into all my shares have been employed ensuring the best possible release from this 1st generation source.

Compared to the circulating version, this share includes more audience at the beginning with some up close taper comments as he gets set up and some extra Neil dialogue not found on the other releases. A simple jump cut to remove the taper comments did not work as Neil’s dialogue runs up against the taper’s to create a seamless edit. I was able to remove the taper dialogue at the start using the technology mentioned above targeted at only his voices frequency. For the purists out there I have included, as a bonus track, the first track with the tapers comments intact.

This is hands down one of my favorite Neil shows of all-time and one of the better captures of the first leg on the 1973 tour. I'm hopeful with this new deluxe treated addition you feel the same and enjoy it as much as I have over the decades.

Big thanks to BK from JEMS for the guidance and tutorials.

Here is the master tape of the Chicago gig from early in Neil Young's "Harvest/Time Fades Away" American Tour of 1973.
This three-month odyssey started on January 5, 1973 in Milwaukee. The setlist here is noticeably different than the recently posted Seattle March 17, 1973 show and features a number of songs that were dropped later in the tour. As such, this Chicago concert provides a nice contrast to Seattle. "LA" is performed here on acoustic guitar, rather than the electric version featured in the Seattle show. In addition, Kenny Buttrey also adds a distinctive difference on the drum parts. I rate this show VG+ in sound quality. Like Seattle, I think it's another of the better-sounding shows from this tour. None of these Chicago tracks appear on the "Time Fades Away" album. Song samples provided. Enjoy.

Contrast Clause: Another fine recording (and complete) of this concert has been made available before on DIME.
and still is to be found at http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=129673

Because of historical significance and also because it's a fine recording we're uploading this on DIME.
This master suffers from the lack of "Borrowed Tune" and the encore sounds muffled.
During the encore some policemen came and stood in front of the taper and avoiding capture BR had to
put the micophone in his pocket........

So, we're very pleased again to upload another installment of the BR Archives.
A combined production by BR, Reel Records and Agovigli.
Please note that this upload contains the following four folders:

A. Direct Transfer of the BR Analog Master (no editing whatsoever)
B. Fully edited version of the BR Master by Reel Records
C. Four tracks containing two tracks from different master to make a "edited concert-version" from two masters containing
     "Borrowed Tune" and a clearer "Are You Ready For The Country"
     A text-file with instructions is included of how to compose the "edited concert-version".
     The original text-file from the upload of the master from which BT and AYRFTC were take is also included!
     Thanks to the unknown (to me) taper of that other fine version.

This recording, which surfaced a couple of years back, is one of the
better 1973 Time Fades Away recordings.  Besides sounding nice, you get
the unreleased Come Along And Say You Will (some people have called it
Lonely Weekend) along with a very rare Borrowed Tune, and the
surprisingly infrequently played Harvest and Out On The Weekend.


My version was slow, so I sped it up to bring it into key. My version
had lots of little clicks, so after tiring of removing them manually I used
a click removal tool to remove the remainder. To my ear, I hear no
negative effects from the process.

Sometimes you go to etree and look at a show that you have.  It may have pages of owners so
I think oh well not a rare one.  But some like this one, have very few owners ( only 1 in this case ).
Definatly an Old School Recording, not bad sound with no idea on the generations.
