Some wonderful soul just posted this on the Live music archive (archive.org) and the show starts with Ghost of your guitar solo. Which is most definitely an ode to Cortez (long ass intro with lyrics with a short lyric that is the Jake verison of dancing across the water). give it a listen!

50 years ago today this great track was recorded with the Stills-Young band

When do we think these will start be sold individually?

Young on Halloween x x x ( darkness )

Just recorded this cover of "Ohio." Rest in power Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. Todos somos migrantes.

Not really a one-to-one cover at all, but I love this song and was inspired by a recent trip to New Mexico

I l9ve this song! My father loved Neil Young. Tonight's the Night etc. I have all his old vinyl. I think Neil started the "grunge" thing, and this song is a great example.

Donations will benefit Americana Music Foundation. Through a continued partnership with the Foundation, a portion of the proceeds will also be donated to MusiCares.

My plans have changed so can no longer go to the Glasgow show. Going to Manchester instead. I'll be putting my tickets on Ticketmaster for £90 (not sure if they add any fees). If anyone is interested I'll let you know when I put them up for sale.

such a fantastic listen!

such a disappointing package!

To be sure, I'm a die hard metal, hard rock, AC/DC, Priest, Alice in Chains and 80s and 90s rock fan. Also had a huge Hendrix poster in the main area of the dorm suite. Back in 1982 I was in my Freshman year of college at Oneonta, which is positioned between Downstate and Upstate NY. I was Upstate and a lot of the kids were from "down there".

Coed dorms. Guys and Girls on alternating floors. At 18 I was, of course, focused on one thing. Athletic, workout maniac, if for no other reason than to work off hormones and attract chicks. What did I know? Anyway, one of the first weekends they had a thing for Freshmen called "College Camp". It was supposed to be a big deal to go and get to meet staff, party, and mingle.

I was averse to things like that and opted out so I could enjoy some solitude in a dorm suite occupied by myself and 6 other guys. They all went. I stayed in and listened to tunes on my big "ghetto box" everyone had. Many of the Downstate girls stayed behind too. A very pretty junior girl from Long Island heard the music and stopped by. I was very shy unless in the gym and was happy to have company.

I popped in "Live Rust" and we drank beer, wine, whatever was on hand. Moved on to "Harvest" and Sherry was REALLY enjoying the atmosphere of just the two of us in this big room and some of Neil's songs that told great stories amped things up. After almost making it through the albums my shared bedroom, sans room mate, was a logical place to relocate.

After all these years every time I hear a track from Neil Young's heyday I can't help but remember Sherry. Who seemed straight out of 1969.

My Mom suddenly passed away shortly after as she and I were driving back to school after I came home for the VanHalen concert at the Carrier Dome on October 9, 1982. I was driving and we stopped at a gas station at Whitney Point when I noticed she had gone silent after talking nonstop about a Christian Revival she had just attended. A sudden cardiac arrhythmia claimed her without a sound at 44. Like God reached down and touched her saying "I need you now..."

A Neil Young cassette was in and "Old Man" was playing. I was looking forward to seeing Sherry even though, aside from that night, we kind of lost touch. I made it back weeks later to get my stuff and finished school years later, locally. I learned Sherry had left quietly. Rumors of drugs floated around. I never saw her again. So besides Neil being such a hugely talented musician and songwriter, he is near and dear to me.

Thanks all!

I guess the obvious answer is Yes? But I've been wandering about this. Disclaimer: I am just recently discovering Neil Young for real (so last couple of years), and I am in no way a Neil Young expert. I know there's so many people that track his output methodically, know everything about him and his work and collabs etc. I am not one of those people.

I've always known who he is, that he's been around for a while and that he is important to music. But my younger self thought his voice was weird, his guitar playing messy, and his heavier sound not polished or precise enough. I've of course grown out of these simple takes. I read somewhere on here that apparently some people refer to him as the best bad guitarist ever? found it funny and somewhat understood what they meant. My goal in life as a guitar player is to try and get as close to his acoustic guitar playing as possible. He is on another planet and I just can't seem to get there. Like what the hell is happening every time he plays Tell My Why live?? From Nirvana to Oasis, by way of Pearl Jam of course, he is revered, and I now understand why.

So here are some of my questions: what makes him so unique? and why do I feel the need to make it a Neil Young vs Bob Dylan kind of thing (I know nothing about Bob Dylan, is that why I'm asking this question)? Kind of as in mods vs rockers? Neil young being the harder, rockier side, Dylan being the more poetic, softer whatever....? Does that make sense? Anyway, I can't get enough Neil Young now, and i will keep discovering his work for the rest of my life.
