Fiddling Archives for your listening pleasure. The title of this set is a quote from Neil, said in between two songs during this show. This show is one every Neil Young fan should have. Neil fills in Eddie's spot at a Pearl Jam show in Golden Gate Park because Eddie feels horrible and has to pull out. Neil enters the stage and basically takes over the place and blows it away. This was a very energetic period for Neil. Meeting Pearl Jam and being on stage with them on several occasions such as the Rock 'n' Rall Hall Of Fame ceremony on January 12th, 1995 (where Eddie inducted Neil into the Hall Of Fame) and the Voters for Choice benefits in DC a few days later had made Neil (as he does) drop everything else and go after Pearl Jam. They recorded Mirror Ball (a very underrated album in Neil's repertoire in my opinion) and played a few sets together, including a show at Moe's in Seattle, a tape of which has never surfaced as far as I know. Shortly after this show the troupe headed off to Europe for some great and very energetic shows, mainly at festivals. These shows combined much of Mirror Ball with classic Neil Young tracks, often interspersed with short solo accoustic sets by Neil. This show can be considered the prequel to this tour. I feel that playing with Pearl Jam rejuvenated Neil and brought him a great deal of energy. The mutual respect of these great artists (Pearl Jam basically considering Neil to be his artistic father and Neil admiring the "realness" of Pearl Jam) shows and to me it is a special period in Neil's career. This show was one of the first ones to be treed on a cassette tape (remember those?) on the Nail Young mailing list "Rust" back in 1995. Later I acquired the same show on great sounding CDRs and even later I found Pearl Jam's short set as well, ending with Eddie reporting sick and announcing Neil was backstage waiting to take over. The recording of the Pearl Jam set was pretty rough so I didn't use that, but I thought it a cool idea to start the "Neil Jam" set with Eddie's announcement so I mixed that in. I also did a bit of EQ'ing, L/R correction and some other tiny things, as well as running the entire show through to take out clicks, ticks, snaps, crackle, pops and other unwanted stuff. I don't think this show was ever torrented before on dime in this form. Enjoy! MADE BY FANS FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC TRADE THIS MATERIAL FREELY DON'T BUY OR SELL IT!
