I'd love it if AL bookends the set with the orig and "techno" versions of "Mr Soul."

But that annoyingly unctious announcer guy's gotta go. Hope they pick their "lucky Foghead" soon

BOS2 "Sugar Mountain", this live version was the B-side of some 45 or other, I remember playing it on the jukebox of an Italian restaurant in my old 'hood in Queens when my mom and I would have dinner there.

Would really love to hear "Needle & the Damage Done" today.

Sugar Mountain sounding mighty fine, but I'm holding out for "Like a Hurricane" or, if AL wants to really impress, "The Losing End" from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.  Hell, even the title track would kick ass.

Here's your Hurricane. Losing End would be pretty great. I'm holding out for Broken Arrow, or dare I hope for Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing?

Nice call. Anyone been counting? How many songs in is this?

ETA: Just did a quick count--I think it's 8 or 9. So we should get at least one more.

BOS5 "I Am a Child" -- boy, could Rufus Wainwright give that a reading fraught with gay meaning.

You are a man
You understand
You pick me up
And then lay me down again

I love Neil, but I bailed after Sugar Mountain.  btw, the sound was doing 83-84?  I buffered that stream and might listen later.

Going to have to go with the 10-way tie.

Digging Long May You Run, although this sounds more like a live version (unplugged?) than the one we're used to off the Stills-Young album of the same name.
Title: Re: 4 June 2009: It's NEIL YOUNG
Post by: RGMike on June 04, 2009, 10:40:41 AM
I'm guessing "Long May You Run" must be the closer?  Loverly.  And if AL did an all-Neil set w/out "Heart of Gold", then MAJOR kudos.

TANC:  Was streaming Pandora yesterday, and heard Johnny Cash's cover of "Heart of Gold."  I love JC, but really wasn't a very good version.  Not appropriately plaintive, ala Neil.

Mark, if you're asking for reviews of Spamalot, here's mine:

I haven't (yet) seen the S.F. version, but I saw it in NYC a year or two ago.  Best Musical I've Ever Seen.  It's great even if you don't love Monty Python (although I do).  Hope this helps...

And the newest song of the bunch was recorded in 78 and released in 79: Hey Hey My My. 'Zat say anything about Neil's more recent output? Although I would concede he did record some worthy material in the 80s and early 90s. Kind of surprised Rockin' In the Free World didn't turn up in there.

AL mentioned in the backsell that she went with earlier Neil partly because the new box set also skews to the early years (nothing past '72 or '73).  Still, the point is taken -- the early stuff is classic in the best sense of the word, while later stuff is often interesting and excellent, it's not quite to the same level of greatness.
