Blond NEIL YOUNG - a tribute band - Argenton Fr,Salle des Fetes, 12 december 2014, SM aud master DPA 4099


As far as i know, this band was formed by Stephane Louvain, picking members from several Nantes area groups
(such "French Cowboys", "Santacruz" or "Classe Manequin").
Stephane is not a rookie in rock music as he played in well known bands here since the end of the 80's
("Little Rabbits" and then "French Cowboys").

Other info from the "Bretagne dimers" will be welcome.

This tribute concert is very interesting because the band apparently worked hard on Neil's songs, playing
close to the original arrangements and taking care of the vocal harmonies;so, the versions delivered here are not approximative at all.

The setlist is mainly exploring the country side of Neil's work, with a handy pedal steel player;
no extended jams a la Crazy Horse here, but some strongly electrified tunes at the end of the show.

Recorded 4 meters facing right speakers, with 2 x DPA 4099 supercard mics - DAD6001 - Zoom H4N (48/24), phantom on.
