When I read his notes on Traders Den and then heard the mp3 sample I knew this was thee Grand Slam of the Euro-Tour! I say that because Wonderful was positioned directly in front of a speaker on the stage. When I saw Neil in Philly back in December I thought that it would be great to be postioned in front of one of those speakers with the right gear. You must also have nerves of STEEL as you are also in the spotlight almost as much as Neil himself! There's no level checking or flashing of equipment when you're right THERE! The Goons are scanning the crowd from the wings. Security is paying close attention to make sure the 1st row doesn't rush the stage etc. Everything has to fall into place. Anyways...we can all be thankful that this recording can off without a hitch...It's SO nice you can even hear "the buzz" Neil is refering to on one of his talks in the 1st set thanks to that small speaker at the front of the stage that Wonderful and his rig were nicely seated in front of and wired for sound! All I can say is listen to the samples and THANK YOU "WONDERFUL" for taping this show and allowing me to share this remaster! Disc One First Set "Solo Acoustic" 1. From Hank To Hendrix 2.

The Sultan Line Up: Neil Young - guitar, guitjo, harmonica, piano, vocals Ben Keith - pedal steel, lap steel, guitar, organ, background vocals Rick Rosas - bass, background vocals Ralph Molina - drums, background vocals Pegi Young - background vocals, vibraphone Anthony Crawford - background vocals, piano, mandolin Cary Kemp - gong on The Sultan ORIGINAL NOTES: This concert was the third/last concert in The Netherlands as part of the 2008 European Chrome Dreams Continental Tour. Neil was in a good mood, quite talkative (about "Analog", Cars, Need for scientists) and responding to the public. The acoustic set was played full of passion and sophistication. The rock-set had very intense versions that made the audience out of their seats for the encores. The recording was made from the first row right in front of Neil and a speaker. This created a 'right in the face' sound and less of an ambient concert hall sound (for which my gear is more suited). The sound of the encores is more capturing the stage sound as I was standing in front of the stage next to enthousiastic fans. Enjoy this recording ! Wonderful |
