NEIL YOUNG 2008 European Chrome Dreams Continental Tour Compilation Rustbucket Version Neil Young - guitar, guitjo, harmonica, piano, vocals Ben Keith - pedal steel, lap steel, guitar, organ, background vocals Rick Rosas - bass Ralph Molina - drums, background vocals Pegi Young - background vocals, vibraphone Anthony Crawford - background vocals, piano This is a compilation of every song from the European tour Last year I put together a compilation of the American tour http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=176761 As before, I've compared each version of every song from all the recordings I have (nearly all of them!) and picked the best version to my ears. I'm no expert on recording equipment so I have no idea what the difference is between the mics the tapers use, what quality they are or even how much they cost. I don't care as long as the end result sounds good, so I'll leave the expertise to the tapers! A lot of the acoustic songs I've selected are from the first show of the tour Antwerp Feb 11, an outstanding recording. Some noted it as near soundboard in quality. All the songs from that first set are included here. Best recording of the tour accolade to reelclasio. Many of the songs from the electric set are from the excellent recordings from Amsterdam. Some of the selections here are taken from Otto's excellent Amsterdam collection http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=187300 Sorry if the shows you attended aren't here, as I've mentioned I've gone for the best sound. I've put all the piano songs together onto Disc 2, same as before. Disc 3 is all the songs from the main electric set bar No Hidden Path which has had to go on Disc 4 with the short encores. Disc 5 is the long encores plus The Sultan All these songs are off dime or TTD Dime/TTD flacs > TLH > wave > Nero Wave Editor > Goldwave Flac Frontend > Level 8 Verify and align on sector boundaries I hope you enjoy this as much as I have had putting it together! Finally, thanks to Neil for a brilliant tour, I was priveliged to see two of the shows in London even though I ended up having to buy off a tout to get in the Saturday! Also to to all the rusties at the Ram at Hammersmith, see you at the Hop Farm.....in July! And to Cristina, Little Wing, we met briefly in the Ram, I hope this goes some of the way for your long drive! Dave A Rustbucket production!
