Wow  All your posts are great.  If you can do this with a BR just think what you could do in a real studio.  And KUDOS to your sis what a beautiful voice.

Wow - one of the best "hobbyist" recordings I've ever heard (and I heard people with tons more gear than a BR).

Wow, Hooper, what to say?  I've actually never heard the Joni Mitchell version (I know the CSNY version well), but I don't think I will ever need to hear it.  I'm sure this is just as good, if not better than the original.  The production is stunning, immaculate, perfection.  The playing, flawless.  Vocals by your sis are awesome.

Well done, my friend, well done. Smiley

Right.  This song was not played at Woodstock 40 years ago.  But it may be the first song that was written about Woodstock.  (does that count?)   Cheesy

Definitely! In fact, I meant to suggest this song in the original topic about the festival, but I never got around to it. If anyone can think of any other songs about Woodstock, please post the titles and artists in the original Woodstock thread so that others can consider doing them.

Anyway, I'm glad you did this. It's a great song and very appropriate for the Woodstock fest. You did an amazing job on this and Nancy's singing is brilliant! Obviously, you're not the only musically-gifted member of your family.

Bloody hell!!! I was playing with the idea of having a bash at this one, no way now.... Fantastic job mate, be proud, be very proud. Great vox from the sis' too.

Bit of a cheek Joni Mitchell writing this song when she did not actually turn up for the gig tho....

Thanks much for the kind comments everyone.  And it's always fun to sit here and know that music made in the back room was heard by someone across the big pond.  Looking forward to more Woodstock 2009 tributes!

Truly excellent on all levels. The production is fantastic, great use of the stereo image, nice clear recording of all the instruments and it just feels so "right". Very, very well done indeed, you continue to impress and inspire in equal measures!

The playing is very well done all round and the arrangement is also very strong. The vox are absoutely superb, as  64G says you must be a very musical family! The whole track sounds so much better than the Joni Mitchell version (I find that one of her most annoying songs I am afraid!). Great job all round, really enjoyed it.

Cheers,

Nigel

Absolutely fantastic!  I am blown away.  I didn't know you could get such a good production from the Micro BR, I've been inspired.  Aside from the production, the vocals and guitar are also top notch.  I have some learning to do.
