nope's Collection

Archives Be Damned 2000- Compliation, various, various
| Media | CDR 1 disc |
| Notes | 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 project 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 sent 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 think much of the country style 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 lose 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.
