Simon & Garfunkel - Live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (1970) [EX SBD]

Info and tracklisting:

Simon & Garfunkel
Live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 21 May 1970
Welcome in Holland Yellow Dog 059/60 (Amsterdam Set Only)

"Extracted from the Yellow Dog bootleg "Welcome In Holland" (catalog # YD 059/60). The recording clearly ran too slow – though by no means as slow as the first copy of the concert I obtained, back in the '70's – so I have speed-corrected it using Magix Audio Cleaning Lab 10 (the speed problems were inconsistent, so I worked on each track individually, making comparisons with many other shows, especially the Paris show from the same month; the original timings are indicated in brackets). I have not applied any noise reduction, although listeners who don't like any hiss might want to do so. Certainly a soundboard, though with some volume fluctuations here and there. Wonderful rendition of "Bridge" with piano-only accompaniment – FAR better than the Ohio '69 version with it's crappy thumpety-thump drumming…."
