Any Neil Young Fans Here?Tom Petty fans?

[CountryBoy]

I bought a greatest hits CD by him titled (Decade) that is equivalent of 3 lp's on 2 cd's. It covers his career from 1966 to 1976 and I love the music on it. The Tom Petty is great too.
I am showing my age.

Couldn't really classify me as a "fan", but I do like the music. If Bruce Dern sang, I always imagined he would sound something like Neil Young.

What do you mean you are showing your age? It's not like you are talking about Dion, the Ventures, Everly Brothers and such..................chim

Wife and I went to see Dion and the Beach boys in concert last Thursday night. To see Dion, and how young he looks,, he looks 29 years old. On stage announced he and wife just had 40th anniversary very recently.

I remember taking my daughter to this quaint little place for breakfast one morning when she was in high school. As we were sitting there waiting to order I commented on a song that I particularly liked that was playing in the background.

As we're eating our meal a little while later I said, "They've really got some good music on here this morning. I love all of these."

My daughter looks across the table, smiles and says, "That's why they call them oldies, DAD! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I couldn't even respond. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif She just sat there looking so proud of herself. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif It just made me smile, too. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just picked up an old Neil Young and Crazy Horse CD last weekend...great jamming!

When Neil Young is good, it's outstanding...but when he's not so good...yeecch! Like when he tried Techno-Punk (Transformer).

Always liked him most when he played with Crosby, Stills and Nash. If you can find a copy of "4-Way Street" (their only live album), you'll hear some of the best jammming ever done in a concert. There's a version of "Southern Man" that goes on for almost 15 minutes.

I've got "Decade". It is a great album for those of you who really like him.

I really like the Decade CD. I am going to have take a closer look at his portfolio.I would say CSN&Y live would be pretty a good act to see.Neil is a native Canadian,but lives on and owns a ranch in Southern California. The song OLD MAN was written about an old caretaker who lived on the ranch when he 1st moved there.That is one of the songs I have always liked by him.One I do not remember hearing until I bought the CD and really love hearing is The Loner.
If I am not mistaken is he an Indian ? He sure refers to a lot of Indian stuff in his songs and titles IE: Broken Arrow and the Band he had called Crazy Horse.
Not to mention he has a lot of Indian features in his appearance's.

Roy,

If you're really into Young, try to find a copy of "Young Man's Fancy.... Neil Young Live at the LA Coliseum"

It won't be an easy find as I believe it's a collector's piece now, but it's worth the hunt.

Every now and then, I'll play Farmer John while sitting back and watching the wife cringe. Great stuff! Kids are only 3 and 4 months, so I'll have to wait awhile before I can torment them with my music. Zeppelin is almost toxic to her as well... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
