Great record,but a tad overrated.

On a related note, has anyone read his biography (Waging Heavy Peace)?
I quite liked A Letter Home, I thought it was fun and the crackly sound worked for the song choices.Young did a cover of Needle of Death on 'A Letter Home', that (mostly shite) album he recorded a year or two ago in that 'record your own record' booth owned by Jack White.
It's an amazing song. As is Ambulance Blues.
It was three nights, "Cortez" was on the second night and "Ambulance Blues" was on the third night (which was the one I was at). The first night got "Campaigner"! Given that they recorded all the nights and released the Greendale section as a DVD with the album, I live in hope that he releases the full three nights (or at the very least a best of the second set from each night).A while back (circa 'Greendale'), Young played two nights acoustic and solo in Vicar Street. I went the first night and he finished with Cortez The Killer (it was fucking immense). My mates went the second night and he finished with Ambulance Blues. Still not sure which of us got the better deal.
I've seen him play six times and I've only seen him do "Cortez" once.He's plays Cortez regularly I think? I've seen him play it 2 or three times, I'd rather get Ambulance Blues now
The Monsanto Years has grown on me, it's far from a classic but at least it cleared the air after that stinker Storytone.I quite liked A Letter Home too and these days he can do virtually nothing right in my book.
Yeah, I will be. Even if he drops some clunkers into a set, the rest of the set usually more than makes up for it.I only managed about a song and a half of the Monsanto Years and I didn't bother with the Storytone one (unless that was that ghastly orchestral abomination). I presume you're going to see him this summer?
It's absolute dross, nothing but an extended ad for his shite eco-friendly (pah!) car.On a related note, has anyone read his biography (Waging Heavy Peace)?
It's totally mental. My old man (also a massive Youngers fan) was almost totally put off him in the process of reading it, so irredeemably shite did he consider it.
I could see where he was coming from, but I found it was bearable if I read it to myself in a Neil Young voice.
Why?I don't want to listen to Neil Young : (
I loved Neil Young until I read that book. Turns out he's a dick. Have hardly listened to his shit at all sinceShakey is far better and a thumping great read.

It's mad to think that On The Beach was the album that followed Harvest. That must have been a shock for his audience at the time!Moved on to Harvest but stopped there and never moved on. I don't why not, I think I made a mistake not continuing on.

Tonight's the night was recorded before OTB but released later, also I thought Young held off on releasing Time Fades,Away for a few years too?between
