Re TOP 5 Albums (and AOTW)

cymandavies
 

ATGR
Time Fades Away
On the beach
RNS
Old ways

I guess in part these work as whole albums. I'm listening alot to
Trans (thanks to the discipline of following AOTW) but it doesn't
work as a whole. By the same token, Everyone's Rockin does work as a
complete album but it doesn't do much for me!

PS Life is the worst album of neil's solo career, IMHO. Life-less!
MidEast Vacation is the sole track worth going back to. Too Lonely is
the worst song, ever- its plain embarrassing. Inca Queen kind of
meanders and wafts along without going anywhere or really taking off.
When your lonely heart breaks is a song i try to like, but at the end
of the day its music by numbers that is all too reminiscient of the
dreaded 80s power ballads. Cryin Eyes - as a big Neil fan i think i
can summons up in my memory most of the words to most of his songs,
officially released or otherwise, but this one is so forgettable,
I've forgotten it already! OK - rant over!

Re: neil special in german rolling stone

 

i'm sorry, i won't translate the full story, but i'm gonna foccus on what
matters most, IMO.
all in all there are three articles about neil, AYP, and about patriotism.
and everything is kinda overshadowed by 'Let's Roll'. as an expression of
some weird patriotism, we in germany obviously can't handle. people tend to
understand the lyrics as an unconditional affirmation of mr. bush's
war-rhetoric. the german public was really worried about his speeches back
then. "evil, satan, cowards, wanted dead or alive, smoke them out ......" all
that talk wasn't very well received.
being confronted with this maybe more european point of view, neil got a
little pissed:
"oh, that. there is a certain amount of cynicism in this song that people
seem to escape." well,.........
he goes on explaining that 'Let's Roll' is all about heroism and human
tragedy and has nothing to do with mr. bush and his rhetoric. he also talks
about RITFW as a song nobody would seriously call a patriotic one.
Seriously? i happened to be in new york city and i saw both csn&y concerts.
with the first chords of 'Let's Roll' (the cell phone) the audience started
shouting: USA, USA !!!!! and when RITFW closed the first night (before the
encore) someone handed an american flag over to graham nash .............

i guess wolfgang doebeling, arne wilander and some other guys didn't buy
neil's words. they adore him, but they can't get over 'Let's roll'.
According to the magazine neil's management cancelled all meetings with the
german press that were confirmed before.

the review itself is pretty much a mixed one. (3 stars bv arne wilander) he
rates 'going home' best song, most of the lyrics as pretty weak. as neil had
nothing to say, but he needed a few songs - banal -.
"Let's roll for freedom. and he rolls with george w.bush. and he rolls on and
on and on."

so, please don't send me flames. this is not my opinion about neil, 'Let's
roll' and patriotism. this is what i think about the german rolling stone
special. (and i think willander and doebeling still love him to death,
anyway.)

i surfaced and all of my being was enlightened. E.V.

Neil says it's because he doesn't like CD technology and the way they
sound. Of course this didn't stop him OKing all his other albums for
release on CD.

Most likely explanation is - Neil's an awkward old buzzard. Always
was. Always will be.

They'll come out when the Archives are released. In July. 20??.

I was a little disappointed in the song. I'll be patient and give it a few

Re: What is B&P

 

sometimes b & p can mean: "B elgian P ralinees!" [hello albin!]

shure sending blanks out is a waste of money
shure sending money is boring

so maybe "the other end", "the newbee", "the burnerless" can send
something special from his/her country in an reasonable "price-range".

(i often did this with postcards with kings, princesses or so for my
daughters, so the whole family can participate :-) )

i allready do have my blanks i know i can trust on.

because this is a hobby, there must be more fun!

one night away from easter-holidays
hope you all have some nice days

Re: 12 songs (longer than intended!)

 

Hey folks,

I'll chip in with a list here - took a lot of thinking, though :)

1. Old Laughing Lady (Neil Young)
2. Cinnamon Girl (EKTIN)
3. When you Dance ... (Live Rust)
4. Out on the Weekend (Harvest)
5. The Bridge (Time Fades Away)
6. On the Beach (On the Beach)
7. New Mama (Tonight's the Night)
8. Look Out for my Love (Comes a Time)
9. My My Hey Hey (Rust Never Sleeps)
10. Shots (Re.ac.tor)
11. Like a Hurricane (Unplugged)
12. Train of Love (Sleeps with Angels)

I'd like, if I may, to add a few comments (masquerading as explanations, I
suppose!):

The eponymous album version of OLL is so ethereal it's amazing that there
are so few instruments actually on the record. The female vocals cut right
through me every time I hear it. The Unplugged version - actually, I'll
change that to the Country version, as I believe that Neil started playing
it this way well before '93 - is an excellent song and the first Neil song I
ever learnt to play, but the album version is far, far superior, IMHO.

Cinnamon Girl is a must, purely because it is the opening track on the
album. I don't think that it would have the same effect upon the listener
had it been placed further down the tracklist. The opening few chords just
blow you away every time, despite the fact that this song has reached the
clich level that Heart of Gold has, (again) IMHO.

When you Dance is an ecstatic song and the Live Rust version, possibly
because it is live, sees to have more passion and drive about it. Great
song.

OOTW is another song that has enormous impact upon the listener because it
is the first track. I always try to put myself in the position of a
contemporaneous listener - hearing the song for the first time in '72. It is
so relaxed and measured that it takes me to another place. The song sounds
sad but it really is uplifting - so much so that, when ever I feel down, I
put this song on and it makes me feel so much better. It's one of those
songs that you think was written especially for you.

The Bridge, inspired by the Hart Crane poem (has anybody read this all the
way through? It's fairly heavy going in part), is life encapsulated in 2 or
3 minutes. There is so much emotion in this short track that it's almost
tear-jerking. This is one of those songs where you wonder how anybody can
actually write something like that. A Neil-defining song, if ever there was
one.

On the Beach, as a song, is close to being the most perfect song I have ever
heard, musically. The whole pace of the song is exactly right and the
soloing sounds significantly more complicated than I'm convinced it is. The
slightly downer lyrics just wash over you as the music seeps into your whole
body - some sort of melodic osmosis. The Bottom Line solo version is magical
but the electric guitar from the album just lifts it even higher.

New Mama - short, great acoustic guitar, lovely harmonies, beautiful subject
- it makes you wonder how ever did it get onto this dark album? Spot on
everything.

The way that LOFML builds up reminds me of Led Zeppelin, simple acoustic
guitar and plaintive voice rounded out in later verses by subtle harmonies
and measured electric notes. The quiet, almost gentle, side of Crazy Horse.

MMHH is completely made by Neil's plaintive voice. Simple riff rings through
the speakers with a fantastic tone and the harmonica at the end has shivers
in my spine. Yet another sparkling opening track.

Shots is a special song made even more so by the fact that it is clearly the
most dynamic song on the album. Johnny Rogan intimated that re.ac.tor was
"saved" by this song. It has a drive about it that, conversely to my earlier
comments about opening tracks, makes you need to play the whole album again
just to hear it (well, on cassette, anyway). Hard rock and the topside of
Crazy Horse right in the groove with Neil.

My choice of LAH from the Unplugged album, I'm sure, will have some people
running for cover. I think that the pump organ (is this the same as an
harmonium?) is a difficult instrument to get right and, strangely, Neil
chose to couple with an harmonica but, for me, this really works. I talked
earlier about the emotion in songs and this is another one. The rather
rugged and ragged guitar on the ASnB version sounds too loose to me, but
this is tight, well executed and the harmonica solos really soar.
Outstanding transposition of an already great song.

Sleeps with Angels is not far away on the AOTW schedule, so I'll choke back
on too much detail on this one, however, I would put this song in the same
pigeon-hole as New Mama. Short, simple and a lovely way put a delicate
subject.

Thanks for your patience :)

Question for the list RE: 2/1/02 show

 

Hey Rusted Ones,

I have a question. At the 2/17 show, Neil says before playing Your My Girl,

Tree: Stills 11/16/2001

 

This is the final of 2 calls for branches and leaves for a 1-cd,
incomplete recording of Stephen Stills and band on 11/16/2001,
during the short casino tour of 2001. Signups close 3/22/02.

Please put "Belterra BRANCH or "Belterra LEAF" in your subject line.
Reply privately to this email address, NOT the list, please.

Branch volunteers should have reliable CDR-burning experience.
BRANCHES reply with your trade list/URL and the following:
(1) your full snail mail address,
(2) indicate the number of leaves you can handle.

LEAVES please reply with
(1) your name/handle and email *on the same line* please!
(2) if a) you'll offer a trade or b) do blank & postage with your branch
(3) state if USA, or country

Trades can be for other media formats or artists. No 2:1 allowed.

The taper didn't flip the -20db switch until a few seconds into CD track 2
so the first few songs of the show are lost in saturation heaven. The
rest is just right. Track 1 is salvaged Stills banter from between
those first few songs. Stills has a great sense of humor!

This is such a great description of this song. This is exactly how I feel
when I listen to this song. And sometimes I NEED this song. I just love it.
Great song!! Great "explanation".

I would have to agree with what you said about Cinnamon Girl as well. What a
great song to open an album with!
