Notes Notes:
It appears this stems from the same source recording that previously circulated however this
one obviously comes from a better copy and does not contain the serious flaws evident
in the previous one. Note that the flaws in the previous version were detrimental to the extent
some segments of audio data were missing. In this new version each of those spots are completely
flawless and there are no indications those areas have been edited.

The person who did the Mastering in the lineage statement raised the volume and attempted to
filter some of the higher frequency noise that (for whatever reason) is present in this source.
The end result is a definite improvement.

Several smaller 'ticks' were found and removed. It is worth noting these 'ticks' did not
exhibit the characteristics typically associated with a bad DAE. And equally interesting is
that the 'ticks' all occur in the same locations as in the flawed version suggesting the
origin of the 'ticks' is very early in the lineage, possibly even the master recording itself
but that is purely speculation.

This version has been retracked from its original layout because Like A Hurricane was split
in to three tracks that spanned across discs 1 and 2. Now "it's all one song".

This is now the cleanest, best sounding version of this Neil Young & Crazy Horse's performance
at Bonnaroo 2003 - that is, until the day someone unearths an even more pristine SBD recording.
