The Official Neil Young Thread

[VinylGuy]

please Neil come back here with CH, were your long 20 min jams will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I agree with posts above. I get so annoyed when people go to a crazy horse and neil young gig and get feedback drenched songs and endings that last 10 min. He has been doing that with CH for 40 years. To me that is neil young. I hate the harvest material. People should read ticket stubs and keep up with what neil is doing. No excuses to whinge about a neil young and crazy horse gig at least not in 2013. The Adelaide and melbourne shows were the gigs of my life.

Today my past is a huge thing. Everybody has an expectation of what I should do. There comes a time when these things start to get in one’s way.

That Adelaide show still lingers in my thoughts daily.

Love this one so much:

..save the self indulgent shite for the studio or rehearsals...give the people who pay big money what they want to hear.

God, I love Neil Young.

Trans is a great record. The live versions of all the songs are monsters too.

Possibly my favorite Neil bootleg ever was finally reupped! I had a copy of this show in college, but lost it. It's a killer small club Ragged Glory warmup show.

A perfect tape for your summer weekend, recorded at Santa Cruz’s Catalyst club on November 13, 1990. This is one of the first shows Crazy Horse played in support of the just-released Ragged Glory — they did some low-profile “hometown” shows before ramping up the epochal Arc/Weld tour of 1991. “Shake the cobwebs out!” Billy Talbot exclaims at one point. Neil and the gang sound fit and fierce, playing most of Ragged Glory, plenty of Crazy Horse warhorses, as well as a generous helping of fan-friendly deep cuts — are there many other shows where two tunes from Re-ac-tor are played? “We’re digging way down in the Rust Bucket here,” Neil says.

I'm shootin' for that motherfucker.


Heres a link for what could be the longest Tonight's the Night ever.

Clocking in at just under 35 minutes, it’s the longest one I know of anyway. And it’s a motherfucker, maybe one of the most unhinged things Neil ever did.

Long May You Run is such a great song!

I scored tickets to this week, stoked in an understatement.



And I think this is my favorite version of Long May You Run.

[Kevin Davis]

I love that version.

[Mojopin]

yep, great version!

This has been building awhile...

I just want to say that I'm pretty happy with my 4-disc favorite Neil song set I just put together. I'm not gonna list all the songs tonight due to too much of this wonderful stuff shown below (uh huh, that's John's Lane right there. This coming from an American!):

But getting back to my original statement...

This is the start/end formula for each disc:

If it starts with Mr. Soul and ends with Down By The River, and then starts with Cowgirl In The Sand and ends with A Man Needs A Maid (Neil w/The London Symphony Orchestra version), and then starts with Carry On and ends with Long May You Run, and then lastly starts with Crime In The City and lastly ends with Sugar Mountain... well, you better put some damn good filler between all of those!

I will say I include at least one tune from Time Fades Away! City in the smog and all...

And yeah, most of Sample & Hold is included. But not the angry one...

Actually, I wanted to end this thing with Like A Hurricane (with Cortez The Killer leading up to it), and to kind of go chronological overall, but not totally... where I veered back to a reminder of something from the beginning there at the very end, etc... And that's kind of what I did here. He's got so many great songs, and this is only through like '91... all in all though I'm pretty happy with the 40 songs I decided on. And I'm sure I would get a lot of disagreement. And well, we can agree to disagree. But, dammit, I'm happy with it, and that's what matters in the end...

No Hidden Path is in my top 3 for Neil. Maybe top 2 with Change Your Mind.

If your two favorite songs from an artist can last you a total 30 minutes, you're in good shape.
