Geetarz Comments:

Some things do get better with age, and the 2000 "CSNY2K" tour was a personal favorite. This, to me, is the cream of the crop, and one of my personal all-time favorite "Desert Island" discs.

The 2000 tour featured new takes on old classics, and somehow bridged the ages, bringing old and new into a harmonious, rocking whole.

The first years of the 21st Century were also a "golden age" of ALD recordings, before their alternate uses became more widely known and many venues shut the technology down. There are quite a number of ALDs from the CSNY2K tour - some of which, sadly, are still in the clutches of hoarders. This one, luckily, saw the light of day.

ALD recordings of course have their technical limitations, including reduced dynamic range, lack of bass, and attenuated high end. Luckily the Professor at 3BR was able to work his sonic magic on this recording, and really bring it to life.

If you're into vocal harmonies, loud crunchy guitar, and close-miked soundboards - this is sonic heaven.

Beyond recommended ... ESSENTIAL!

Lineage:

ALD > DAT > 3BR > 3BR Master > EAC v. 0.99 Prebeta 5 (Secure, Offset Correct) > FLAC
