Neil Young - 2008 European Chrome Dreams Continental Tour Compilation

La guinda del pastel. Rustbucket ha hecho un buen trabajo y ha seleccionado los mejores temas del tour europeo. Han salido 5 discos, pero... es que la gira por Europa ha sido fuera de lo normal y han aparecido en el escenario multitud de temas diferentes.
En Dime A Dozen de momento.

This is a compilation of every song from the European tour
Last year I put together a compilation of the American tour.
As before, I've compared each version of every song from all the recordings I have (nearly all of them!) and picked the best version to my ears. I'm no expert on recording equipment so I have no idea what the difference is between the mics the tapers use, what quality they are or even how much they cost.
I don't care as long as the end result sounds good, so I'll leave the expertise to the tapers!
A lot of the acoustic songs I've selected are from the first show of the tour Antwerp Feb 11, an outstanding recording.
Some noted it as near soundboard in quality. All the songs from that first set are included here.
Best recording of the tour accolade to reelclasio.
Many of the songs from the electric set are from the excellent recordings from Amsterdam.
Some of the selections here are taken from Otto's excellent Amsterdam collection .
Sorry if the shows you attended aren't here, as I've mentioned I've gone for the best sound.
I've put all the piano songs together onto Disc 2, same as before.
Disc 3 is all the songs from the main electric set bar No Hidden Path which has had to go on Disc 4 with the short encores.
Disc 5 is the long encores plus The Sultan
All these songs are off dime or TTD

Dime/TTD flacs > TLH > wave > Nero Wave Editor > Goldwave > Flac Frontend > Level 8 Verify and align on sector boundaries

Goldwave used to crossfade tracks on each disc, no gaps, each disc plays continuously.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I have putting it together!
Finally, thanks to Neil for a brilliant tour, I was privileged to see two of the shows in London
even though I ended up having to buy off a tout to get in the Saturday!
Also to all the rusties at the Ram at Hammersmith, see you at the Hop Farm.....in July!
And to Cristina, Little Wing, we met briefly in the Ram, I hope this goes some of the way for your long drive!

A Rustbucket production!
