I remember recording it from the BBC on VHS around the time he did the Harvest Moon MTV's unplugged show. I found a download for it later. Lovely. Funny. Emotionally. Nice! Nice is good!
Out on the Weekend was great. Love in Mind and Journey Through the Past were good. I'm starting to think A Man Needs A Maid is a terrible song. It's way too serious. The audience looked uncomfortable and bored. It's Bob Dylan's favorite! (according to the liner notes from the compilation Decade). I like Don't let it Bring You Down. Dance, Dance, Dance is like annoying campfire tunes.
Neil Young was much more dynamic and his material was much stronger during his 1976, 1979 and 1991 tours with Crazy Horse.

A man neds a made was a work in progress. There a few versions out there with strange lyrics.
It's his best song. Back in 1971 his shows were very quiet and reflective or out right rockers. I saw N Y in 1975 at the NYC Palladium. Small concert hall. I sat next to Patti Smith and Billy Joel.
I was there and it was brilliant, from the slow version of Hey Hey My My, to the awesome Spirit Road and the ever brilliant Down By the River this was one of the best show's I have ever been too. Hearing McCartney sing A day in the life with Neil was the icing on the cake, never in a million years would I have predicted that.
Just create ONE big thread to discuss all of Neil Young's music. It's a horrible sight to see so many different threads all on the same artist when I go into this forum.

Sorry there cranky old timer...I used to feel the same, but I live with the fact that there are 15 Piper at the Gates of Dawn threads, so many Animals threads, so many Led Zeppelin threads...oh well. This shall be the last Neil Young thread from me...I believe I have only created two personally.
Actually, I think I will stop posting on this site. Lucky you. Bye!
