PBS "American Masters: Neil Young Don't Be Denied"
(the BBC Documentary from last year)
"Neil Young grants rare and unprecedented access for this
documentary in which he traces his musical journey in his own
words. The film includes new interviews shot in New York and
California and utilizes previously unseen performance footage
from the star's own extensive archives. It also features cohorts
Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Nils Lofgren and
James Taylor. From his first success with Buffalo Springfield to
the bi-polar opposites of mega-stardom with Crosby, Stills, Nash
& Young and the soulful rock of Crazy Horse, Young's career has
enjoyed many guises. The film takes Young through his rise in the
'60's, his solo artist period in the '70's, his '80's embrace of the
New Wave, and it ends with Young still refusing to be denied,
pursuing a more eclectic musical approach but also touring in the
USA with Crosby Stills Nash & Young and teaming on occasion
with Crazy Horse."
Definitely worth watching...captures the early Neil magic...like NYA will, I imagine. Possibly a case of Deja Vu for some ardent fans though.
