Celebrating 4000 subscribers to my channel.
And doing it in style with this jewel.
Neil Young and his Crazy Horse live from 1976 in a perfect soundboard recording.
There is so much emotions in Neil songs and lyrics.
Dreamy yet powerful.
I though ”A Man Needs A Maid” was particular emotionally.
Brilliant recording and brilliant music.
I’m going to update more music when I have time but not so frequently as before.
I have some music projects coming up, both recording and filming for my new band project ”Pipes Of Peace”.
Witch I hope will carry some of the torch left in the Seventies.
So stay tuned for more great live musics and some new music.
And as always a big thanks for the people that share this things to us all.
Enjoy some Neil Young and Crazy Horse/GråZon

Tape:
Today, we're going to share what we expect to be the final and absolute upgrade of this beautiful concert.
But before going into the details, Iíd like to say something.
I'm sure that, like myself, most of you take these days to reflect on everything done through the year 2017. Well, we, the extended JEMS team, certainly do too. And that's why we are posting this show at this very moment. We want to say thank you to all of you for your continuous support, especially to those who entrusted their tapes to our archives, as well as to those who encouraged us every time, to those who helped us with shows we didn't know about or artists where we didn't have a clue or weren't familiar with.
2017 passed by really fast, but what we did, believe us, we are really proud, because this passion we all share, like music archivists, listeners, fans or even just casual ones,is what unites us, it is what makes this great site where we choose to share, so special. Once again, thank you to all of you.
And now, about this recording. Iím sure this is one of those Neil Young recordings that all of you are familiar with, but this marks the first time this specific source has been shared. During all those years there has always been the same underlying version of this concert, but always from a bootleg release, never a version with known generation, let alone a source with known lineage to the master.But that changes now. BK of JEMS explains:This cassette comes from the collection of our longtime friend and ally SS, and given everything we know about the provenance of this famous and fabulous recording and the person from which SS received it, we strongly believe this cassette is the point of origin for every known version of the show. Meaning, all copies in circulation go back to this tape. It is ground zero. What we do not know for sure is if it is THE actual soundboard master. My assumption is that this is a first-generation tape made off either a cassette or reel master. Regardless, I believe it to be the best known version of the recording and the first with a lineage back to analog source with no digital tape or CD generation in-between.î
Firstly, this version, although it had several of the noises and minor sonic defects also present in the bootleg releases, unlike those, in this version they are barely perceptible, able to be heard only if you pay full attention or if you are fully interested in those details, either because you are someone interested in those type of issues or because you're planning to fix them yourself. In my opinion, sonically this transfer sounds much warmer, with more clarity both in the vocals as much as in the sound of the guitar. It feels more natural, unlike the bootleg releases that surely, at some point, had some kind of noise reduction. Here the mastering has no residue of such a process. And although, honestly, I am a dedicated uploader here on DIME, this time I felt the need to require the help of a well-known member of this community, kneesfudd, who kindly agreed to help me to fix a number of problems that, frankly, beyond the extent of my abilities. Thanks kneesfudd for lending a hand.I am very happy to know that this recording is finally getting a release worthy of its quality. Samples provided.As always, I thank the JEMS team for their eternal confidence in me (and those who support me) in releasing recordings to the public. Huge thanks as well to SS for loaning BK his cassette source and blessing its dissemination. frogster

Yikes---I was at this show at the Auditorium. Me and 2 other friends---we all had just gotten out of the Army, overseas, returned home to Chicago--take in a Neil and Horse show--didnt dissapoint. I remember was first time I heard, and saw him do Hurricane--he had a very large fan on stage blowing his hair while playing--standing near the Wooden Indian. The Late Show.

W 76 to miałem 21 lat i do Europy wschodniej takie cudne wieści nie dochodziły - znaliśmy Neila i Crazy i Buffalo i CSN&Y ale dlatego, z siostrą przyjaciela mieszkała w Canadzie i od czasu do czasu coś przesłała 🗽👉👋👋👋👋🌹👍

[peterbetts]

this is like a 52 pound turkey for dinner . Beautiful sound, nice set list , lots of not hits, and its from 76 . im gonna tape it on cassette till i can get a dig. copy . Killer , Thank You .buddy . it always puzzles me when they start a well known, familiar tune, like journey, but the crowd doesnt respond until they start singing . Long May You Run , Neil .
