This article has been forwarded to the <a href=" http://www.cleveland.com/newslogs/musicreviews " target="_blank">Advance.net websites</a> and <a href="http://www.boston.com/ae/music/blogcritics/"> Boston.com</a> (going live soon). 565497@blogcritics.org Sun, 25 Mar 2007 13:05:28 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/03/22/114000.php#comment-565280 A very thoughtful review. "Heart of Gold" was the first song I was to learn to play on guitar (with the same sore fingers). Years later, I frequently tore up "Powderfinger," which I thought the greatest Country song ever written, I await a full-blown, bone crushing electric release, circa "Live at the Fillmore East" with twice the music. 565280@blogcritics.org Sat, 24 Mar 2007 20:27:41 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/03/22/114000.php#comment-565023 oh ya, i didn't mean to imply that your disappointment was somehow invalid. i can see how if a person was waiting for something all of those years and then there was no "kaboom"...well sure, completely understandable. and yes, let's skip the bluster. there's enough of that around here already. 565023@blogcritics.org Fri, 23 Mar 2007 21:52:50 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/03/22/114000.php#comment-565021 Sure, get into it! I played it only once - the best description I could give it on one play is that Neil's turned to writing formla Neil Young songs - the buzzy guitar, the cranky artist as an old man stance, the really, really good song lurking about under the messy production. I dunno - I'd like to hear one more killer album from him in his dotage - I'm sure it's still in there. 565021@blogcritics.org Fri, 23 Mar 2007 21:50:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/03/22/114000.php#comment-565019 Nicely done Mark. I was a little disapointed in this simply because my expectations were raised pretty high by the notion of getting something actually new here (I didn't get the version with the DVD). But taken on it's merits, it's definitely a great accoustic Neil Young live record. As usual with your stuff though, I really enjoyed the personal annecdotes associated with Neil. Just don't get me started on the "the Internet bluster surrounding Living With War..." -Glen 565019@blogcritics.org Fri, 23 Mar 2007 21:45:15 EDT
