'Live' Content as described in article challenged

Hello,

>>Freedom, however, brought about a new, critical and commercially successful album in the mold of his 1979 classic album, Rust Never Sleeps. Both albums consist of live songs with the audience track mainly removed.<<

I challenge the accurateness of the article "Freedom (Neil Young album)" in regard to above quoted sentence. Freedom does not consist mainly of live songs with the audience track removed, see information at Neil Young's website at:

http://www.neilyoung.com/archives/discography/items/ny-f.html

Stating that:

>>Recorded at Record One, Los Angeles; Redwood Digital, Woodside, CA; and The Hit Factory, New York, July 25, 1988-July 10, 1989, except

live at Jones Beach, Wantagh, NY, June 14, 1989

Produced by "The Volume Dealers" (Neil Young & Niko Bolas) Released on Oct. 2, 1989<<

Record One, Redwood Digital and The Hit Factory all are or were professional recording studios. Hence 11 of 12 songs on that album are studio recordings. Only one song on the album, track 1 (Rockin' In The Free World) is a live recording.

"Rockin' in the Free World" as anthem of fall of communism?

This claim has no citation. I did hear an LA radio DJ try to connect the two once, but since it has no basis in the lyrics whatsoever, I question whether the interpretation was all that widespread. This needs to be given a citation or removed. 71.114.43.19 (talk) 04:57, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
