Neil Young - 2007 Chrome Dreams Tour - North America So who needs another Neil Young 2007 Tour Compilation? Well I do! There's always room for just one more! I really enjoyed doing the upgrade/remaster for the Neil Young 1999 Tour compilation I posted on the Rust tracker last year and felt the need to have another go This compilation is different to that posted at http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=175787 and the acoustic set is different from this one http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=176048 The same core songs of course but different selections. I've compared each version of every song from all the recordings I have (most of them!) and picked the best version of each to my ears. There are only 3 song versions that appear on all 3 acoustic compilations where those three songs were performed only once and only 1 version (NHP) that appears on both electric comps. Most of the acoustic songs I've selected are from Boston Dec 3 and Upper Darby Dec 9. I've included both the piano and synth versions of A Man Needs A Maid Also included are two versions of Mellow My Mind, including the first night from Boise with the mouth harp intro. I've put all the piano songs together onto Disc 2. A couple of years ago I compiled Piano Songs 2, so I've subtitled Disc 2 'Piano Songs 3'! albeit a rather short disc so I've also included from the BSB October 28th 'The Way' and though not a piano song, the acoustic band version of 'No Hidden Path' These two songs have not neen released by the Bridge School and are already on the tracker at http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=168655 Most of the electric songs are from Upper Darby Dec 10. To my ears this show was the most clear and dynamic for the loud electric songs. The only fades here are the long loud audience applause at the end of each track. I've then used WavTrim to get songs on each set to play at the same volumes. Then Goldwave to cross-fade the end of one track into the start of the next for each disc. No gaps. Some commented on dime how the best acoustic set could be from one show yet the best electic set could be from another show. I certainly found this to be the case. Many thanks to ron dironstarr for giving me the inspiration to have a go myself and to cherrman57 for making me work even harder to go the whole hog and not just another acoustic compilation. I've followed Ron's idea of the 4cd set, 2 discs acoustic and 2 electric, rather than squeezing the whole set onto three discs.
