TRANSFER/EDITING NOTES:
This is essentially the boot known as Danny by The River which is an upgrade to all previously available versions of this performance. The label it originates from, as mentioned in the source text where I downloaded this recording, says this version is derived directly from the SBD master. Whether this is true or not is anyones guess. If it is true, the master would seem to have deteriorated somewhat over time with some obvious distortions, imbalances, and other anomalies. Otherwise, this is a great recording and stands as the ultimate document of Neil Young & Crazy Horse live in 1970 in bootleg format. I did not attempt to completely rework this recording as it has been claimed to already have been remastered. To me , if this is a new source which was originally circulated by Seymour Records as the boot CD "Danny By The River" and taken from the master recording, it would not have been remastered but instead simply mastered from it's original analog format. I have thus made some small adjustments to eliminate some of the pesky anomalies present throughout the recording and bring out an even clearer overall sound. The first disc contained a boomy, muffled low to mid range frequency range which was a detriment to the music contained within. I have thus cut back some of these unneccesary and non-musical low-mid sections, bringing out the brightness in Neil's guitar and giving his vocal a little more edge. I have also adjusted relative levels of each track so they coincide with one another. The 2nd disc was edited very minutely, with very slight EQ adjustments and amplitude boosts. This disc sounded a little better than the 1st to start with and didn't need really much work at all. I have removed a few clicks and pops here and there and adjusted overall relative track levels as well but it has remained very much the same as it began. I have included artwork that I found which reflects the tracks found here but I can't say for sure that this is the art for the "Danny By the River" CD as there is no mention of this title or the record company. This artwork has also been remastered for optimal color, contrast and brightness levels. The original art was way too bright in my opinion. Let this version circulate as the superior take on this classic Neil & Horse concert and forever put to rest the inferior copy still circulating known as the "Winterlong" boot. For those at tapecity who have been in awe over the "Winterlong" boot, this really is a show you need to have! Enjoy!
