Date : June 6th, 1970

Quality : Soundboard Recording (A+)

Review : Now here is another very wonderful show of CSN&Y Soundboard tape which origin leads to an anonymous contact to some of the old Fillmore East people and, although that person wishes to remain anonymous, he is the person responsible for the release of those recordings into general circulation. It's certain that all the recordings of the CSNY shows from the Fillmore do NOT derive from Bill Halverson. The correct lineage for those shows is SBD : MR(mono) > Alesis Masterlink > CD. The show has a stunning quality like its recently treed sister shows from 06/04/70 and 06/05/70. Unfortunately the last track on disc 2. (Love The One You're With) is fading out after a nearly a minute. Some of the highlights: David, Stephen, Graham and Neil are in a great mood and do a lot of talking between songs. And its the only live sung CSNY version of King Midas in reverse I know. Thanks to Ron who did another great job in editing this gem.
Editing notes from Ron: I removed 90% of any ticks (I bet you don't even notice where they were unless you look for them), adjusted the volume level throughout, and rounded out the shape of the sound with a little Equalizer adjusting (Certainly a subjective thing,... albeit not a permanent detraction from the original WAV files). On the worst tick, which was about a second and a half long at approximately 0:40 into track 3 on disc 3, I actually performed micro surgery. It was too stretched and damaged to repair, and while cutting it out helped a bit there was still a skip. So, and this is a testament to the precise harmonizing of CSNY, I cut out the bad, which was at the beginning of the first chorus, and spliced in a second from the next chorus... Ha, you might notice, but ONLY because you'll be looking for it.
