NEIL YOUNG - HYDE PARK 2009
NEIL YOUNG
Hyde Park 2009 [no label, 2CD]
Live at Hyde Park, London, UK, June 27, 2009. Very good audience recording.
The highlight of this concert must be the historic meeting of Neil Young and Paul McCartney on stage.
From grunge to rock to mid-tempo ballads, Neil Young drew them out and entertained the crowd with a pleasing set. A minor quibble: with many songs from the Harvest album, one would have wished that Young had added Out On The Weekend as well.
Thanks to tbugsett who recorded and shared the tracks on the Dime site. tbugsett noted: “I was very close to one of the (speaker) stacks and Rick’s bass was more felt in the chest than actually heard. The ground felt almost like an earthquake… Hence the recording is very bass-heavy. I thought for a bit of doing some eq before uploading but decided in the end against it as this is a more true replica of how it sounded.”
