Neil Young/CA,USA 1977

A soundboard sound source that will astound enthusiasts in 1977! This is worth paying attention to. Not only are there very few 1977 items for Neil Young (Aud sound sources are only slightly distributed), but it is a great surprise that it will appear on a soundboard. This is a soundboard compilation title that suddenly appeared among net traders about five years ago, and there were 2 CDs x 2 titles, totaling 4 CDs, but because the recording time was such that it could be compiled into a 3-CD set, this time it was consolidated into 3 CDs and made into a record. The sound quality is analog cassette tape (Maxell UDXLII cassette), so it is analog-chic and a rough mix, but it is more than excellent with a direct feeling and vividness, and fortunately it does not seem to have been poorly processed, which makes it extremely comfortable to listen to. It is also nice to be able to hear the audience noise of the audience in moderation. The feeling of it sounding in a small box is already the best. There are a few cut-ins and cut-outs caused by the tape, but if you listen to this, you won’t care about that. Anyway, if this is the first appearance (as of 2013) and this is the quality, and the sound board, everyone will be satisfied with it. According to the uploader of this sound source, it is a recording of a stage held at a live house in Santa Cruz, California in the summer of 1977. It is unfortunate that the detailed venue credits are not clear (the uploader comments that the venue is “The Catalyst”, “The Crossroads”, etc.), but the contents are such that you can enjoy two stages from Disc 1 to Disc 2-Tr.8 and from Tr.9 to Disc 3, and you can fully enjoy the precious live performance as the legendary Ducks with Neil Young temporarily joining.
