Neil Young Live at Massey Hall 200 g LP,

On this album his chat on top of retunings & guitar riffs drawn from other songs, is part of the poetry. The sound quality of the CD version is top notch, and the close miking is no problem with a solo performance. The story about Old Man is retold pretty much verbatim decades later in the filmed performance following his brain surgery.

So...both CD and LP sound great. Which should I buy ? Will the music sound better on my Rotel RCD-1072 CD deck (which is a HDCD player) or on my Rega P3-24 turntable ?

I've been listening to Neil's music for 38 years and this is some of his best. Too bad he waited 38 years to release it. Also seen him live about 20 times. On a recent tour, he spent a lot of time lecturing the crowd on being quiet. While I like it quiet too, and really resent the blowhards, I find it hard to take when a rock singer tells the people who pay his salary to be quiet and when they can enter the hall, etc. But, he is a great writer and guitar player.

If you are into vinyl, that would be the one to get.

Fenderny-

Ironically, at the concerts that I've seen him with Crazy Horse, I wished *he'd* quiet down! Way, way too loud.

Don't recall any on-stage shushing from his acoustic concerts, but that was awhile ago. Probably getting cranky in his old age, so I'll let it pass.
