No doubt one of my favorite artists ever is Neil Young - one of the greats I've never seen. So, I greatly appreciated finding relatively recent live video footage of him performing one of my favorite songs ever - "Tonight's the Night" - in Birmingham, England, sounding better than ever. I love this version, even with audio flaws and crowd noise present. Neil Young never sounded better! Unbelievable - I am going to find a way to see him before I die, now.
Thank you Claude06890 - The Ropey Old Pirate Show on YouTube [1] - based in Birmingham, for making this experience possible, by paying to attend this Neil Young concert in England, recording it on a simple video device, and sharing it with the world... along with 6 other Neil Young video clips [2], now viewed a total of over 60,000 times around the world... along with the 300+ other great, original concert clips you have provided the world, from Birmingham - sharing over 2 years of your musical experiences with us here, in real NEO. I couldn't afford the airfare, so no harm done to Neil Young, for sure.
That is the power of the internet working for a musician.
This won't keep me from buying my favorite Neil Young CD (I've bought dozens over the years, starting in album form) - perhaps FROM NEIL'S GARAGE [3] - this will make me buy more of his new stuff (which is amazing) and will make me seek him out live. This little authentic pirate bootleg clip of Neil will make him lots of money.
Especially as Claude also led me to Neil Young's personal channel on YouTube [4], where I subscribed - now Neil may send me what he thinks I'll enjoy... and I may see his latest work to BUY... like this sweet little gem [5]:... and I may show my love and promote Neil to the world. Perhaps my 16 year old daughter will see this here, and check Neil out - tell her friends - they all need Neil, bad...
I told you his new stuff is sweet.
While visiting the virtual world of Neil Young, I learned Neil's got a movie coming out [6] - and it looks great - you probably heard about it here first, because of Claude - see http://www.trunkshowmovie.com/ [7] and the YouTube Channel for the movie [8] - preview below and here [9]... as old economy and new economy work in harmony - as beautiful as Neil, tonight...
