J-Card Comment This collection was created in the first time by Jay (Trapper) Dubner a
few years ago as a tape tree and was now overworked for CD from me.

Like Mike (Expecting To Fly) Cordovas collection, it?s a compilation made
of live material of the songs from On the Beach LP and American Stars
n?Bars LP, which both weren?t released as CDs (yet). The history of this
projekt goes back to the mid90s, when Jay (Trapper) Dubner did a real
fine tape in the days that used to be. (He ended up with a tree
distributing 300 copies). He send me his tape and I used some of his
versions, replaced some recordings for quality reasons in digital ages
or found another fine version of another fitting show of the 70s and 80s

On the Beach - It?s a real shame, that this gem never saw the light of
digital birth. Neil did most songs live in the following CSNY US-Tour in
summer 1974. See the sky about to rain, a real fine piano tune, was
done live already during his solo tour in autum 1970, Other songs saw
the light of stage from time to time through his long lasting carrier.
(A great revival of the OTB material was the Solo-Tour in 1999, which
remained unused in this compilation, because I didn?t want to change
Jays collection too drastically and limit myself to the 70s & 80s). Sadly,
Vampire Blues never was done live by Neil (a real, real shame!), but Jay
fit in a real great fan project from Sacred Roots (with Paul Gase, Rich
Hand, Chuck Singer).

American Stars n? Bars - an album with light and shadow (now its your turn
to decide which is which...). Fact is: Even Neil obviously didn?t thought
much of the country stile songs from LP side A to play them live a lot.
"Hey babe" never saw the light of stage, so it will be missed at this
compilation too. The International Harvester Tour 1984/1985 brought the
other two country songs on stage. And there was a late appearance of "The
Old Country Waltz" in 1996. (Thanks Dave and Tim for the hint, I oversaw
it at first) There aren?t many words to loose about the songs at LP side
B. Neil played them a hundred times mostly with Crazy Horse throughout the
decades, except Star of Bethlehem (only with CSNY 1974) and another rare
gem Will of Love, a solo live song per se, which found entrance, because
of its pre AS&B mix at the unreleased Chrome Dreams.

Thanks to Jay Dubner, who started this.
