Blasting some Neil today ("Hey Hey, Now Now" at the moment). Sad to say he would never have made it in today's music climate.

I also had no idea Neil Young wrote "Like a Hurricane". What album was that off of?

Zuma, I think for the studio version. It's one of two albums of his (pre 1990) that I don't own. It's also on Weld.

What, no input from cousin dupree!!!
I bought that one right before my turntable went into retirement. Not a big fan of the studio version of that song. The ARP gets to me.

The one off "Live Rust" is the shizzle...
"Prairie Wind" has been in my truck's cd player since the day it came out...minus the day my wife stole it and burned a copy for herself.
"Go Team Venture!"
Neil Young. I picked up the guitar when I first heard After the Goldrush album as a kid and except for a short hiatus have never stopped playing.
Definetly a powerful influence on me.

"Cinnamon Girl" was the song that made me want to play guitar.
:lol
I still can't get that lead right.

a show i highly recommend is his set at bonnaroo on 6/13/2004.
it is readily available on further.net and is one that will occupy your
disc player for months after you acquire it. it seemed neil wanted
to blow everyone's mind that night and i'd have to say that he
succeeded.....check it....
06/13/03 (Fri) Bonnaroo Music Festival - Manchester, TN
Love To Burn, Sedan Delivery, Powderfinger, My My Hey Hey, Cortez The Killer, Fuckin' Up, Feedback Jam > Like A Hurricane > Feedback Jam,
E1: Be The Rain, Cinnamon Girl, Rockin' In The Free World, Roll Another Number
E2: Down By The River,
you can tell its going to be a long night when love to burn clocks in at around 24 min......
Nothin left to do but smile smile smile.....
we close EVERY show with that one. and i mean very show. it all ends in feedback, bass and guitar feedback. and i do a cool "sweep" with the treble knob of my amp so that it goes really, really high. what a kick ass tune.Week after next we're gonna cover, "Rockin' In the Free World".
Been wanting to do that one for a while.
GOD BLESS NEIL YOUNG!
"don't worry, i'm a professional!"
just to clarify.....
further.net is a peer to peer download program where you can download
complete shows from bands that encourage free tape trades. everything
you get from there is legal and free and mostly jam style bands.....
tons of grateful dead, phish, neil young, black crowes, little feat (!), bob marley, etc.
the only down side is that you will see tons of shows you are interested in
and will eventually download which will result in a huge surge in your disc collection.
i've burned probably 500+ shows so far and show no signs of
slowing down much to my wife's chagrin....

I read somewhere that Neil is the most prolific songwriter of our time. He writres one every day. No they all don't get recorded or become hits, but how many songwriters keep going at it like that? Day Tripper is the song that got me going on playing the guitar, but Cowgirl in the Sand off of Four Way Street graced my set list for many a year and sometimes still does. :blbros

"Can you hear me now?"
He's 60 on Saturday.
His new album that I mentioned above, "Prairie Wind", was written and recorded in just a few days.I read somewhere that Neil is the most prolific songwriter of our time. He writres one every day.
He was diagnosed with a potentially fatal brain aneurysm earlier this year, and in the three days between in the diagnosis and the surgery to correct it he flew to Nashville and completely recorded eight or nine of the eleven tracks (my numbers may be off here) on the album
And it's a very solid album. Simply amazing.
"Go Team Venture!"
Damned w00kie. :hee
I had to stop my FurthurNET b/c java kept attracting viruses. It wasn't worth the disasters when they occur. If only I could tell java to only use FurthurNET and nothing else, but the damn program kept doing shit behind my back. Oh well, ...
Archive.org also has a bunch of legal, free shows. It's not P2P, so you're pretty safe.

"Prairie Wind" is being made into a film by J. Demme ( the same guy who made the Talking Heads film).
takes one to know one sabby ;)
i heard quite a bit about that issue and have had pretty good luck so far with it, but am so far ahead of the curve that i'm starting to get paranoid that a crash is emminent plus i now have more music than i can keep track of.
Nothin left to do but smile smile smile.....
Count me in as a fan of Neil.I wore the grooves of my After The Gold Rush lp.
Women want me
Fish fear me
How about we appreciate his guitar?

If aliens listened to our current top 40, they'd think that the entire planet was populated by sexually ambivalent robots with ethnic insecurity.
Nice pic!
I've been listening to 'Tonight's the Night' a lot lately. Not easy to listen to, but IMHO his best. The final nail in the coffin of the 60's in a way. :)
This is the bitterest pain to human beings: to know much and control nothing.
Dr Fene said "What no input from Cousin Dupree"?
I'm here, i was on a 12 hr shift yesterday so i missed this thread.
Neil Young is the best thing since Sliced Bread.
I have all his albums and Prairie Wind is indeed a Classic, get the copy with the d.v.d and you see them recording the songs in the Studio, i have'nt seen him since '01 when me and Ronworld caught him at Sheffield Arena.
He's 60 tomorrow(12th) as Ayns said and in my opinion he is greater than Hendrix, Clapton and Tiny Tim put together(although he does sing like Tiny Tim.);)
Fripperton, nice pic of Larry Craggs(Neil's Guitar Tech) with "Old Black", did you take the pic?, i'm impressed.
In short, i guess you could say that i like him.
Do any of you Dudes subscribe to N.Y.A.S? (The Neil Young Appreciation Society)?
P.S, The Archives Collection looks like it will be ready to kick off soon;Archives1: The Period from his Canadian days with The Squires and the legendary single The Sultan and Aurora .

No, it's a picture I saw on the internet and thought it looked so cool I saved it in my files. It is one of the icons of the Rock generation. I have no idea who took it and I'm not sure what the third cover on the back is for.

Cool Mate, just come back from Newcastle(my local City) and i bought the Live8 Toronto Concert on d.v.d, Neil closes with When God made me and Rockin' in the Free World (with the whole Ensemble).
K'apn: Archives Vol1 covers '63-'73, eight d.v.d's, as well as Aurora and Sultan there are 3 or 4 tapes for records that never came out, Instrumental stuff, A Live recording from Massey Hall in'70 from Harvest(acoustic solo)
Crazy Horse at the Fillmore and stuff from the Riverboat in Toronto from'68.
Still not sure if there are tapes left with Rick James and The Mynah Byrds, i'd pay good money to hear them

I think the pic is from Guitar Player, from not long after Greendale.
OK, so I'm going to buy that wind thing, because IF I had been gay and IF I had been a little older, I would have said that I LOOOVE that man! (Still, I think Hendrix is god, but ..)
Some facts:Neil is Canadian lives in California Is really really into model trains and has children with birth defects he runs a charity for. Correct me if i am wrong
No, you are Correct on all counts
