<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#aaaaaa">Neil Young - Ragged Glory Live compilation <br>FLAC (Artwork included) <br> <br>Here s the concept: Neil welcomes in the  90s with the Horse! I remember buying this CD when it hit the stores, though I m not sure of the exact release date (9-Sep-1990, 11-Sep-1990, 22-Sep-1990 or 11-Oct-1990, according to various sources). After Bridge 4 on 26-Oct-1990, Neil & Crazy Horse played just 2 gigs in November. On the 12th they played The Mountain House in Woodside, CA (for which no tape has surfaced). Then, on the 13th was the now legendary performance at The Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz. 8 of the 10 songs on the newly-released album were given rousing renditions. This includes the only known live tape of  Over and Over . The sound quality is damned good, either a solid A or even an A+, depending on how strictly you grade! I ve rearranged those 8 songs into the album s running order, along with the only live electric version of  White Line of which I m aware (sound quality is rougher, but still listenable), and a solo-pump organ  Mother Earth from  99 (sound quality is comparable to The Catalyst: A/A+). This is a pretty full disc (77+ minutes). <br> <br>Disc 2 contains the bonus/alternate tracks.  Don t Spook The Horse was the tongue-in-cheek extra from the  Mansion On The Hill CD-single. Here it is presented from one of only 3 known live performances (all from July 1997). Sound quality is again A/A+.  Country Home dates back to the mid- 70s, so here s a very nice soundboard from 1976.  White Line has only been played 4 times live (the electric version on Disc 1, and 3 solo-acoustic versions). This is the  Bernstein Tapes version from  76.  Fuckin Up is actually the most often performed song from the album, although solo-acoustic versions are rather rare. Here s a great one from  92.  Love To Burn is presented with Booker T & The MG s, and Neil s guitar just might ve been on fire (sound quality is pristine, as well)!!! Be forewarned:  Farmer John is LOUD! (A+ sound, too.) Next up is a rare gem, a solo/piano version of  Mansion On The Hill (sound note: Neil s voice, piano & harmonica are very good too bad the St. Louis dorks near the taper couldn t stop talking to each other).  Days That Used To Be is presented in its original form: solo-acoustic during the end of the Bluenotes days (sound quality: A/A+). Finally, I give you 2 amazing performances from the first 2001  warm-up show: a long, meandering, let-the-guitar-noise-wash-over-you  Love And Only Love and a fantastically noisy  Fuckin Up (sound quality: A/A+). Disc 2 clocks in at about 69 minutes. <br> <br> <br>Tracklist: <br>Disc 1 <br>01. Country Home <br>02. White Line <br>03. F*!#in' Up <br>04. Over and Over <br>05. Love to Burn <br>06.
