Experimental, raw and creative. Didnt get to experience in real time but thank god for recording studios and a dad that gave me an appreciation for it all. Before synth,electronics and digital.

IUFLA Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Two of my favorite Neil Young tunes...""Powderfinger" (which he supposedly wrote for Lynard Skynard just before their plane crash) and "Pocahontas." Both off the live album, "Rust Never Sleeps." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good...but it was a limited set due to it being a Farm Aid concert...I think he played a handful of songs.

Not the most technically gifted, but like you said he "just overpowers a guitar." For some levity, have you ever stumbled upon this clip of Bradley Cooper doing the air guitar solo from Down By the River on Fallon? https://www.guitarworld.com/artists/bradley-coopers-air-guitar-solo-fallon-video Ths solo starts about 2 minutes in...

The funny ting about Farm Aid was I was in high school and I was so disappointed. Beck came out and decided to play old country covers in his ‘2 turntables and a microphone’ days. After being let down by that, Neil Young spent half of his set rambling on about farms, but because of the acoustics you couldn’t really hear what he was saying. In between each song he’d annoyingly whale on his harmonica. The solo show was great though. Edited August 23, 2020 by tdhoosier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to farm aid with a good friend of mine and he was a huge Neil Young fan...he saw him several times in concert etc. Well, Neil Young opened with "Walking to New Orleans" and my friend had this blank ]and super disappointed look on his face. I didn't mind it, but my friend wanted him to sing his own songs. They were running really late at the Farm Aid show so after Dave Matthews they did short sets. If I remember correctly Willie didn't close the show until almost midnight. Edited August 23, 2020 by FritzIam4IU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah that is Brian May doing a cameo guitar! Edit: Keep in mind that video was shot after 911 not after recent events! Tracy Chapman “Give me one reason” Tracy also plays her own guitar! And just in case you’re interested some extended family members who play some of the best Blues Clubs in Chicago!

There's a song called 'Change' on that album that always kills me. Hard to listen to knowing that Shannon Hoon died from a depression induced drug overdose a few years later....he knew he had to change but couldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
