Neil Young

~~RJMcDonnell~~ · 03-08-2011, 08:40 AM

Back in the 90s a friend kept calling me to come see a very talented folk singer at a local coffee house in San Diego. After a week of harassment I gave in, and arrived in time for the start of her second set. She was a cute blond with a funky snaggle tooth. About half-way through the set a commotion at the back of the room nearly drowned her out. I turned and saw Neil Young accepting a seat at a table no bigger than a pizza. At the end of the set he talked with the musician for almost a half hour, then left. It turned out to be Jewel's last night at the coffee house. Less than a year later "Pieces of You" was climbing the charts.

Neil is a Legend. Harvest Moon.

Amazing music - especially loooooove the song "Human Highway" and of course the classic "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" ...

and yeah, the "Harvest Moon" album is quite good, but I actually prefer "Harvest" from 1972 ...

Bruce Springsteen Neil Young & Sting are my favorite solo musicians/songwriters.

Neil Young's Live at the Fillmore East is probably my favorite live album of all time. The extended "Cowgirl in the Sand" rocks.

Saw Neil last night in Richmond. Awesome concert! I'm not sure what was better play his older catalog or Le Noise (great album)!

Start with Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush", then "Harvest", then Buffalo Springfield collections, then CSNY (Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) collections. I loved all of them, they are such talented musicians who are multi-dimensional and true to the spirit of human kind. I feel so involved listening to their music...

What's great about this is that everything is well crafted to the best in every song, the melody, lyrics, vocal, music arrangement, instrument setting, all I hear is heaven.

Now I'm going to fish out for more collections and perhaps solos of CSNY, too.

Question: the version of "Crosby, Stills & Nash" I had is the remastered version by Joe Gastwirt at Ocean View Digital in 1994 is NOT good. Is the version of Rhino Records in 2006 any good?

Jimmy Fallon has done this a few times, but having David Crosby and Graham Nash makes it even cooler.

I am the only person who thinks Tonight's the night is one of the most honest and heart felt albums ever recorded?
