please ignore that he is a rich semi-commie eco-flake these days

They need to release “Time Fades Away” on dvd.

I’m glad I got in on vinyl many years ago...

IMHO, it’s one of his best live recordings ever.

City in the smog,
City in the smog,
don’t you wish that you could be there too..

[Revolting cat!]

Luvd his albums of amplifier feedback. Supreme artistic expression!

bump for later....huge fan...

very cool BFL Thank you- I was rocking Live Rust at about volume 11 on the drive back to L.A. from Phoenix today. Just what the doctor ordered. I am also in the beginning pages of his autobiography - he’s a “trippy” guy - I like him - mostly LOL

Great link for all types of music...

Saw him around 72 or 73 in Orlando. First half of the show was acoustic (and quite good). But the audience was rude and noisy until he and the band went electric.

Even at that age I was embarrassed and annoyed at the rude behavior of the audience.

Great musician in those days. Leftie loon IMO, all played out and stuck in the 60s. You would think after “For What It’s Worth” he would make a connection to the current regime. Nope.

Thanks for the memories. Music from my era.

I just have to say “thanks” for passing this along. What a time capsule this is! Cinnamon Girl on piano is just a treat, and the whole collection is quite remarkable.

Even before I knew his politics I could not stand to listen to his nasal voice.

As a fan of old school Neil Young, thank you for the post.

There was a time when the words of popular musicians were actually listened too.

“Sailing heart-ships
thru broken harbors
Out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher
must ride the dark horse
Racing alone in his fright.
Tell me why, tell me why”

“Old man lying
by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking
from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping
down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying
by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.”

“Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.”

“Think I’ll pack it in
and buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own
and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.”

I always liked a song he did called “Thrashers” on the Rust Never Sleeps album. It was on the acoustic side.

I don't know about his show but..

". . . euphonious. Perhaps the strangest member of [that] category, the purely harmonious, is the otherwise ordinary phrase cellar door. The claim that cellar door is beautiful to the ear — in opposition to its prosaic meaning — has been made by and attributed to a wide variety of writers over the years. “Poetry, in fact, is two quite distinct things,” H. L. Mencken wrote in a 1920 magazine column. “It may be either or both. One is a series of words that are intrinsically musical, in clang-tint and rhythm, as the single word cellar-door is musical . . .”

[Dr. Thorne]

I used to play coffeehouses back in the 70s and included a section in the show called "You Can Write a Neil Young Song!".

I asked the audience for three letters between A and G. Then, I asked them for a few random words.

Employing a typical Neil Young flat-picking style with lots of hammer-ons, I would play those three chords and make up a meaningless song using the random words and singing in a weird falsetto.

It always got big laughs because Neil Young is a joke.
