Artist: Neil Young
Date: 2008-02-18
Venue: RAI Theater
City: Amsterdam
Soundquality: Excellent
Equipment: Edirol R-09 + Sound Professionals SPS-cmc-8 microphones
Edirol > digital transfer > harddisk. Editing: Redroaster 4.5 + plugins
Due to a very loud clapper in front of the microphones I used the 'Click and Crackle removal'to delete him from the recording. Graphiq fading on all the applause parts between songs to make it listenable.
As there was an conversation going on between someone in the audience on the balcony and Neil on stage about the sound quality I increased the volume of that part with 6db.
Recording: Old Dutch Master
Editing: Young Dutch Master
This evening was - again - Neil at his best. he was in a very good mood, open for suggestions as he played Stringman as a request made by Bry Carter from the UK. (The first request for this song by him can be heard on the Paris recording of the 14th February)
We have to thank Bry for this.
Also included in the set are the rarely played songs Kansas and Try.
It seems that Neil is ready for some changes in the setlist: In the electric set The Believer was replaced by Powderfinger. Also on stage a painting for a song which has not yet been played was visible. (I will not mention the title here, but if Too Far Gone is included in the setlist of the forthcomming shows I will not be surprised)
From the 10 ( 4 US + 6 European)shows I've been to, tonight's No Hidden Path was the best of all.
No artwork included, but excellent artwork will be uploaded here! Thanks for that.
