These shn files came Neil Young Trees. I renamed all the tracks and edited the md5 files to match the
new file names. 2/14/04.

Administrator notes:

The complete soundboard including Hey Hey My My. This is a liberated bootleg called
"Long Walk Home". Superb sound quality on a great show. Neil seems sullenly silent in between
many songs and it's not hard to understand why. By Birmingham the tour had seen riots in Milan and,
claims Neil, he and the band had been abandoned in France for four days. And then on to England.
This wasn't a happy Neil...

He says before launching into Sugar Mountain on this show...."I thought it'd be great after touring
Europe to get to England where I could understand what was going on. But I guess it's too late. I've been
out there too long. .......Is this [music] good or bad? I mean what is going on here. I don't understand it.
It's like either 'Hey Neil' or 'Go Back to Your Bus'. Or something I dunno. Maybe someone in the front
can translate for me."

But Neil has always reckoned his best work has come from totally exhausted and demoralised
colleagues (or so maybe that was just with CSNY) and this soundboard gives some evidence to
support the theory on a "running on empty" slowed down but innaresting 15-minute version of
Down by the River and a very loose and lovely 12 minute Cortez. Unreconstructed rockers (like me)
will love the soundboard versions of Too Lonely and Opera Star. And the acoustic American Dream
is a nice insight into the song ahead of its release the following year with CSNY.

2 discs audio and shn

Known flaws:
The soundboard has a couple of times when Neil unplugs his guitar that sound like digicrackle but aren't.
The most dubious one is at Disc One, track 5 at 5.09 which I only mention so that you don't worry. It's
on the seed disc.

There is also a clumsy edit on disc 2 between tracks 5 and 6, going into the intro to
Like A Hurricane. Again, it is like that on the original.
