Creo que este es lo bastante inusual como para que merezca la pena reseñarlo aquí, aunque yo ya lo tenía, así que no es la primera vez que sale a la luz. Eso sí, en mi versión los títulos de algunas canciones son diferentes, cosas de los bootlegs:

LETS KEEP THE TRADING POOL CLEAN AND UN-ALTERED. Another great Joe Maloney show. I found this while archiving my hard drive, I was surprised it wasn’t here. Uploader was thanked at the time. Enjoy! thx138

Adiós Les Paul
Creo que voy a tocar mi Epiphone Les Paul barata un ratito…

El legendario guitarrista y diseñador pionero de guitarras eléctricas Les Paul ha muerto a causa de una neumonía a los 94 años. Su abogado ha declarado que la salud de Paul había empeorado y que llevaba los últimos dos meses “entrando y saliendo” del hospital de White Plains en Nueva York en el que ha muerto hoy. Paul ha sido una figura trascendente en el mundo de la música desde los años cuarenta cuando él y su mujer, Mary Ford, encadenaron una serie de éxitos. Pero es más conocido por su labor como manipulador e inventor de instrumentos musicales. En 1941 creó una de las primeras guitarras eléctricas de cuerpo sólido y durante la década de los cincuenta fue un personaje decisivo en el nacimiento del rock ‘n’ roll.

En estas fechas se unió a la empresa Gibson Guitar Corporation para fabricar un modelo muy exitoso cuya estructura no ha cambiado a lo largo de las décadas y que lleva su nombre.

Otro más para estropear mi ratio, sobre todo porque ayer se me pasó y no lo vi:

El amigo HarryO me envía la siguiente información:

Sarah McLachlan, Neil Young and Sheryl Crow
benefit concert for the Sarah McLachlan Foundation
Saturday, Sept. 12,
Ambleside Park
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Tickets are $89 and $139, and go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. at www.selectyourtickets.com or by calling 1-866-514-5050.
Capacity will be 9,000.

La información al completo aquí

Resumiendo bastante, viene a decir que Sarah McLachlan ha participado en el Bridge Schoo Benefit alguna vez y que ahora Neil le devuelve el favor tocando en un concierto benéfico para la Fundación Sarah McLachlan, que proporciona gratis clases de música a jóvenes de comunidades marginales.

Esta noticia salió en los periódicos hace ya tiempo, pero creo que no se publicó aquí:

Encuentran marihuana en una tumba china de hace 2700 años.

El curioso alijo tiene 2700 años y fue “cultivada con propósito psicoactivo” y no como fibra o comida dice el estudio. Los 789 gramos de cannabis seco fueron enterrados junto a un hombre caucásico, de pelo claro y ojos azules, probablemente un chaman de la cultura Gushi en el noroeste de China. Las condiciones extremadamente secas y el suelo alcalino han actuado como conservantes permitiendo al equipo de científicos analizar cuidadosamente el alijo que conservaba el color verde aunque no el aroma.

¿Y qué tiene esto que ver con Neil? Pues mira la caricatura publicada en el Halifax Herald:

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE
E-CENTER, CAMDEN, NJ, USA
AUGUST 17, 1997
Killer audience recording

Probable 1st gen cassette>stand alone burner>wav>flac

I realize that putting an old NY show on Dime is almost like taking sand to the beach, but this is, flat out, the best Crazy Horse I have ever heard. Granted most people reading this are probably bigger Neil experts than myself, but I know a nuclear detonation when it happens right in front of me. This is beyond heavy. There was thunder and crazy lightning outside and there was inside as well. On most of this tour Neil was doing Hippie Dream, I song I don’t particually care for. At this show they ditched that and did Prisoners of R&R – a song I would have requested given the chance. There was a dude in my row (really good seats) with fancy equipment and a mic high above the crowd. I talked to him afterwards and he was generous enough to send me the tape. Unfortunately I don’t remember anything else about him. So, I don’t know if this recording circulates or not. I would guess that it does because it’s so good and the guy had been to most of the tour. The folks I know who are deeper NY freaks than me agreed that this show is somethiing *special*
I would describe the recording as excellent. The bass is slightly distorted, but everything else sounds perfect to my ears. This is a very satisfying listen.

BAND: Neil, Frank, Billy, Ralph

SETLIST:
