Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Franklin, TN



Source: SP-CMC-8 pair > Zoom H1essential > Izotope RX10 (mastering/cleanup) > 16/48 FLAC
Location: row L, DFC
Recorded & mastered by Mr. Sifter

Mastering notes:
EQ to remove a bit of the muddiness, Izotope Music Rebalance to boost vocals slightly, I think my seats were slightly too close to pick up vocals as well as I'd liked. Boosted the acoustic section a bit to reduce the level discrepancy somewhat between that and the rest of the show.

Longest show of the tour so far, CH debut of "Vampire Blues" and first "Sedan Delivery" in a decade. Second encore was unplanned and a very nice surprise. Long live the Horse.

Nick Lowe: vocals bass

Remix notes:

The source had instruments and vocals panned almost entirely to one side, like an early Beatles stereo recording. Extracted tracks via DeMix Pro & mixed in Logic Pro. Not much bass on the master tape, unfortunately, but did the best I could do.
