Neil Young/Osaka,Japan 1989

The Osaka performance, the only one of the 1989 performances in Japan with Lost Dogs that was not released in a comprehensive bootleg, is recorded from the master cassette. Compared to the recordings of the Yokohama and Nagoya performances of this Japan tour, the sound image is a little distant, but the warm sound quality wrapped in the moderate echo of the Festival Hall is very pleasant to listen to. From the latest song at the time, This Note’s For You, to the representative song Helpless, the acoustic set will convey a very peaceful atmosphere. However, in the electric set starting with Eldorado, a mini-album released in limited quantities in Japan and Australia at the time, they performed a hard performance. You can hear a tight and hard sound that is completely different from Crazy Horse. Moreover, they performed Down By The River, which was performed few times in Japan. Moreover, Down By The River, which was performed at the Festival Hall, which has produced many great performances in Western music live performances, is reminiscent of their first performance in Japan in 1976, and it is a performance that you cannot listen to without tears. And the powerful performance of Rockin’ In The Freeworld, which had not yet been released at the time, is destructively powerful combined with the sound quality of this recording, and you can enjoy the hard performance that only the song had in 1989. In addition, since it is a performance that has not been released until now, many people may hear this Osaka performance for the first time with this gift. It is a high-grade item that allows you to listen to the Japanese performance that has been buried until now. Live at Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan 2nd May 1989 TRULY AMAZING SOUND Disc 1 1.
