Neil Young Homework

[blackshadow]

One of my faves too.
just finished waging heavy peace, man tells a great story. Anyone here read it?

Yes, I read it late last year.

It's a great read, it meanders a fair bit, a bit like a Crazy Horse jam.

I'll lose my shit if he plays Albuquerque.

Looks like I'll need to do some more homework... another Neil Young show announced, March 13 at The Plenary in Melbourne.

Sorry. 'Words (Between the Lines of Age)'

Words live with the late Ben Keith is among the more hauntingly beautiful renditions of a Neil song you are bound to experience, its an unusual song with its waltz like doom vibe, one of my favourite from Harvest

 

[Zuma]

I wonder who is going to be opening for NYCH when they play here next month? Also Perth concert goers roll call for beers somewhere before the show

 

[Zuma]

Not likely to be performed but Neil has done some incredible versions of "All Along The Watchtower" there's a beauty with Bruce Springsteen in 2004 and off course Neil with Booker T and the MG's at Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary concert back in 1992 which isnt even available on ****ing DVD!!!

Here are a few of my personal faves of lesser known songs for you to discover...

Will To Love

I'm wondering if we'll see Neil and Bruce on stage together in Australia at some time in March. There's certainly plenty of opportunity if they did want to make it happen.

Doubt Bruce will want to come to Waurn Ponds

This may have occured in 1985 IIRC

Is he the kind of guy likely to play songs from Buffalo Springfield or CSN? I mean the ones he didnt write...ie Stills songs...

As far as Non Crazy Horse material goes Mr Soul and Needle and the Damager Done are most likely to be played but they are Neil's songs. I dont think he will be playing the songs of others, I would highly doubt he will do Stills songs on a Crazy Horse tour.
.
I am tipping 3-4 songs from Psychedelic Pill and the rest Neil and Crazy Horse staples.

Same.

How many shows are you going to Zuma?

It was at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in 85 where Bruce joined Neil for a few tunes, playing a strat instead of his usual telecaster

Just the Perth Arena show mate. Yourself?

I've got Rod Laver GA tickets (and should have a photo pass to that one too) and hoping to pick up a ticket to the show at The Plenary, I was thinking of a Day on the Green at Geelong as well but now the more intimate show is scheduled for Melbourne I think I'll give it a miss.

I hope Neil Young will remember, a southern man don;t need him around anyhow ....

Interesting blog about their crossed paths. It was believed that Ronnie Van Zant was buried in a Neil Young t shirt

It's a fascinating story. RVZ wasn't buried in the Neil Young t shirt, but I do believe there wasn't any ill feeling between the two. I think the song (sweet home) is more ironic than most believe

Floor ticket for The Plenary show - woohoo!

 

[J_Moore]

Holy christ a significant part of the audience were pissed off. The funniest show I've seen.

More of the crowd should have done some "Neil Young and Crazy Horse" homework and they would have elected not to have turned up.

I was suprised that Crazy Horse are now playing wineries, you never would have thought that would happen in the 70's.

I reckon Neil and band of 2009 would have been a better fit playing A Day on the Green and Crazy Horse the better fit playing the Big Day Outs

Naturally, the wine sippers on their checkered blankets took a dislike to the Horse in their ragged glory, are having a whinge that they didn't hear greatest hits, when the band actually played over a dozen of top line Crazy Horse tunes and bloody Heart of Gold, that is a huge concession!

That is what is so great about Neil he doesnt care and he thrives on different reactions to his art and the muse wherever that takes him he will ride it. Like so many occasions over his career his music is getting a reaction, you either get it or you don't.
