Thank you in advance.
It's about Charles Manson.
Great song.
oh, thanks for bringing that up
Hands down the greatest Neil Young album. High praise indeed amongst an incredible discography.
My fav too :)
Rick Danko's bass is so good. Levon Helm on drums. David Crosby on rhythm guitar. And of course Neil. You can't go wrong. This is my 2nd favorite song on the album. The title track On The Beach is my favorite, the guitar solo is amazing. Haha all of Neil's records are like this, a compilation of different styles. If you want a harder sound all the way through from Neil his live albums Rust Never Sleeps (a combination of live and studio cuts) and Weld (100% live) will satisfy you. I think the Freedom album 1989 will satisfy you as well because is basically the precursor to Ragged Glory 1990. Neil's best live performances are really his best stuff, whether it's electric or acoustic, him with different musicians, him with Crazy Horse or him solo. I highly recommend Hey Hey My My from Farm Aid 1985 live with 22 million views on CZcams.. it's just him with a guitar and harmonica but wow is it powerful. Love your reactions 👍.
I have my favourites also.
Yeah Live Aid songs weren't that great....but yeah his live are best...and I follow this channel cause all the wimpy requesters on other "Handel's just want Harvest and others which are just middle of the road top 40 garbage like Harvest Moon
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN I'm subbed to Neil's channel as well. Great stuff.
Don't get me wrong, his studio versions of songs are just as great and have things the live versions don't have and visa versa. His live performances have great energy. Like A Hurricane rocks hard (studio), also Ramada Inn (studio) has three amazing guitar solos, the song is mostly guitar. I've heard all of his albums so I have my favorite tracks from each album but love the albums as a whole.
He was hanging w/ the band at their fun house & studio on the beach. Everyone messing w/ heroine.
He nails the cult mentality. It's a tough call. I think Danger Bird, from Zuma, Tired Eyed from, Tonight's the Night......Last Trip to Tulsa, from his self-titled debut have a similar unhinged, self-confidence.
we'll see, soon I hope 😁
One that is even more “ragged” with raw emotion and one-take recording is Tonight’s the Night. It was recorded while Neil was grieving the losses of a few friends from drug addiction. The album is disturbing and will leave its mark on you. It was actually recorded before On the Beach but its release was delayed for a year.
Yup he John did Ragged Glory but his recorder messed up...was one of Neil's better albums in a while when it first came out
Yeah Tonight's great album but really depressing especially Tired Eyes...which is almost Gallows Humor
great jam... such a pleasure to listen to Lenon on Drums and Danko on Bass
Levon :) Lenon (Lennon) was in that group of insects.
Every track is a little journey.
Maybe when you get a chance you might try CROSBY STILLS NASH and Young 4 way street album
Yes! Hoping this album gets a reaction also!
Never heard this one. It is maybe my new favorite by NY.
Yes to everything you pointed out!
Well most just listen to the wimpy accoustic....never his good electric
glad to hear I am at your service :D
Neil's not happy...and that means great music.
Nope he does great music usually although landing on the water was a terrible album
his bandmate in crazy horse, danny whitten, who wrote i dont wanna talk about it (later covered by rod stewart), for example, died of a heroin overdose.. i think thats what ur referring to , picking up on smthng having happened
I like your method of reviewing entire albums song by song
Crosby also plays on Neil's Time Fades Away album, so does Nash. Time Fades Away is the album after Harvest and before On The Beach. It's a transistion album when Young defied the record companies demand for commercial success. From 73-77 he releases darker edgier music in juxtaposition to the highly studio polished and most commercially successful Harvest in 72.
Also, great Reaction! You really get Neil!
They played on a few of his solo/ Crazy Horse albums
Neil hated Time Fades away cause Crazy Horse played too sloppy and he even had to finally fire most of them...like Bruce Barry...very poor sound quality....Harvest is way overplayed and most accoutic on top 40 garbage and later Neil revealed he didn't like the top 50 aspect of it "putting him in the middle of the Road" way too commercialized and other lesser requesters only ask cause they like the wimpy commercialized aspect of it
he produced three albums after Harvest which are referred to as the ditch trilogy after a comment he made about Harvest putting him in the middle of the road and he headed for the ditch where the ride was bumpier but the people more interesting. The albums weren't released in order partly because of the record company being freaked out by Tonights the Night. In fact Neil still berates Time Fades Away as his worse record which is plain nonsense given some of the substandard crap he has produced over the last few years (Storytone anyone?). He was in a very unhappy place and the Time Fades Away Tour was not a happy trip, although some great recordings from it have surfaced on his archives which suggest all was not bad as he remembers. This song references Manson and the Sharon Tate murders (Neil knew Manson and had put him in touch with a record company at one point.) Crosby later refused to sing the lines about killing stars in their cars. Ref the comment below about the heroine use at the time of recording, On The Beach was famously recorded while they were all high on Honey Slides, a marijuana concoction introduced to them by the country fiddler Rusty Kershaw who features on Ambulance Blues. Tonights the Night was produced after copious amounts of Tequila and dope had been consumed. These three records are imo his greatest artistic achievement amongst a stellar catalogue. An artist baring his soul and not hiding his pain and disillusion. He didnt put a foot wrong in the 70's
thanks for sharing. much appreciated ✌️
One of my Young favorites. And he offers so much to choose from. You mentioned his “attitude”, and it’s a component that really defies an easy or quick description. On that basis, I think you will like his ‘Freedom’ album if you get to it. Lots of attitude and anger in that one. The style is varied, from acoustic to grinding guitars.
Neils reaction after meeting Charles Manson
oh rly? thanks for sharing
I really like this cut. Reminds of stuff happening around the hills north of LA in the late 1960s. Check the Greendale Live with Crazy Horse LP. It's a raw novella shaped with rock.
thanks for the tip, I will :)
David Crosby had doubts about Neil putting out this song.
No he didnt
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN he was uncomfortable about the song lyrically initially and told Neil so, but he wised up once they got started.
I read that Crosby had doubts about playing it live because the Manson murders had just happened about 4 years earlier. And 1973/1974 was very uncertain and divisive time with Nixon resigning, the war still raging on until 1975, the oil crisis (Vampire Blues lol), etc. I remember that time. Crosby seems to be more paranoid about his surroundings in his song writing. Neil could give a f**k. To write a song about Manson especially then was pretty ballsy. That's why I love Neil. Crosby is a great song writer by the way and a trailblazer with The Byrds and throughout his career.
Hard to believe the record was not favorably reviewed. Could be my favorite, but it's hard to pick a favorite!!
among my fav too
That is "angry" Neil in your face. And only with johnflea. Dont expect "uplifting" on this entire album though. lol
Zuma is uplifting and better album this is I think about Murder but much more after the Music of Tonight's The Night another great album but 2 of Crazy Horse died so that is super depressing and think he did these later...I believe the record company shelved Tonight album cause it was so depressing
I love Zuma and Tonight's The Night. However I find some of the songs performed on Weld better because they are pumped up: Cortez The Killer, Roll Another Number, plus Mansion On The Hill, etc.. I prefer the live versions of Cortez The Killer because the guitar solos are longer. Greendale is another favorite of mine, I saw him during that tour at The Greek Theater in L.A. Whenever the live versions have extended guitar solos I tend to prefer them to the studio versions.
@alpha java never listened or seen Green Dale performed....did see Rust Never Sleeps tour in Heidelberg when I was stationed in Germany...great with The Road Eyes..I love Neil's live stuff except the stuff from Live Aid....Mansion On The Hill from Ragged Glory was a great album....
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Live Aid I have to pick and choose. Greendale is a concept album about a family and community in Northern California. They played the whole album, took an intermission, and came back and did about 90 minutes of the previous catalog. Amazing of course. During Greendale the stage was two stories, the band below and about 5 theater stages above where actors lip synced the characters in the songs, it was a concert play actually. It was great.
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Greendale is a hard blues Rock and mellow electric blues style with some of harder Rocking songs like Be The Rain. The only acoustic is Bandit which is excellent. If you decide to give it a listen, listen to it from start to finish it's like watching a movie in your head. The songs are probably half guitar at least. The album surprised me, I bought it a month before the show to get familiar with it in 2004 and couldn't stop listening to it. I'm envious you got to see the Rust tour.
Zuma is so great. If I listen to Barstool Blues or Don’t Cry No Tears, they stick in my head for a week. Then there is Cortez……..
Very typical of Neil Young. Not sure what is happening. Rock and Roll??
Neil Young, what can be said... Unable to sing well, poor guitar and songwriting skills and yet there are still people that worship upon his Altar.
That really says a lot, none of it good, but you know.. Neil Young.
