The best way to join Crazy Horse is not learn any of the songs and just have Neil tell you the chords as the curtain goes up

Cortez: I know the missing lyrics are in a book somewhere as "I ate that ocean wave" but I distinctly hear "thousand" in there (at 11:47 ) :-/

I really hate the bowdlerization of the album title btw. The original song on Ragged Glory is printed as "F*!#in' Up"; they should have gone with that.
If they were going to change it, it really ought to have been modernised in some way, e.g. F😜💩in Up!!!! 🤪

Imagine seeing the tracklisting back when the album was originally released and doing the “gee willikers, I wonder what that song is. Maybe it’s ‘Fartin’ Up’?”

I've got like 30 plus meal releases on vinyl, looking to add to it because why not. Out of releases from recent years, I've got hitchhiker, homegrown, songs for judy, tuscaloosa, TTN at the Roxy, rust bucket, Young shakespeare, citizen Kane Jr, Barn, Colorado. What should I prioritize next wrt rcent studio albums, official bootlegs, live releases...

Saw Young & Crazy Horse tonight @ the huge Jiffy Lube Amphitheatre in Virginia 40 minutes or so from Washington DC. Nice rocking version of Powderfinger with the band, and tuneful takes of "I am a Child" and "Helpless" solo

US Secretary of State Blinken playing “Rockin in a Free World “ on guitar with a bar band in Ukraine, and then Neil Young adding that song as an encore in US had Young trending a bit on Twitter x.
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 15 May 2024 20:07 (four months ago) link
i was there for that encore last night and i confess the name antony blinken did not cross my mind. pretty much exactly as great as so many other crazy horse shows i've seen thru the decades. that man and that band are miracles of nature. a little more low-end noise and feedback than usual, maybe, and they had to power through some annoying sound system glitches in the final 20 minutes, which they did with zen-like grace. neil miming and playing acoustic air guitar during the first breakdown was adorable. damn that version of "sedan delivery" during the encore -- ragged glory, as it were. and "vampire blues," hell yeah.
― fact checking cuz, Wednesday, 15 May 2024 20:44 (four months ago) link
i was there too. was very pleasantly surprised to hear "vampire blues." bold move to start your show with the best song ever ("cortez the killer"), but he pulls it off.
one of my favorite moments was when the mic wasn't working so he thanked the crowd by shouting into his les paul pickups

i almost forgot about the organ dangling from the scaffolding for "like a hurricane." that was cool and amusing.

that was the only song that used the organ and it hung by the horse's head for the whole show

i was checking resale tickets for tonight's show but the price and for standing in the rain had me make other plans. obviously regretting it.

I heard tonight's show was supposed to be much better than last night's. Video for last night's is up FWIW:

FWIW, here's them in 2012, and I was at this show, about the same distance away too but in the center. They still sound great but seeing how much they've aged, I feel like this could be the last time they play NYC.

― birdistheword, Thursday, 16 May 2024 03:49 (four months ago) link
yeah, that was a big factor. i've only seen NY/CH once and it was on the absurd greendale tour but from the videos i've seen i may just have to settle for that.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Thursday, 16 May 2024 04:10 (four months ago) link
i was there too on tuesday. the best part of the PA outage was when they cranked up the stage amps and tore into "hey hey, my my." direct from neil's amp to my ears.
― Thus Sang Freud, Thursday, 16 May 2024 10:02 (four months ago) link
his voice sounds better live (in the 2024 video) than it does on that ragged glory redo
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 16 May 2024 12:34 (four months ago) link
love that video of tuesday's show. good to hear "hey hey my my" from someone who was close enough to hear it right from the amps.
i was trying to figure out how neil would cue the halftime parts on "sedan delivery," seems like he just gives ralph a look and boom, it slows down. it always takes billy and the guitar player a second to catch up haha
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Thursday, 16 May 2024 14:58 (four months ago) link
Looking into seeing him next week, cheapest tickets I saw were $205. Not my favorite venue in the area and the timing would suck due to other commitments, so don't think it'll happen. Just crazy to think it would cost me more to see Neil than what I paid to see Dead & Co. at the Sphere.

i was way up in the bleachers but the sound was reaching me all the way up there. not with the clarity of the PA, but i could immediately identify the song. it was like seeing the beatles! (who also played the forest hills stadium once, iirc.)

― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Thursday, 16 May 2024 16:54 (four months ago) link
Eh, my point was more the venue than the band really, the Sphere was an expensive ass thing to build and with all the hype I feel like they could have justified a higher price point. If it was any other bog standard venue, I would naturally expect Neil to cost more. But this specific event/venue did surprise me (and I understand your main point is more a dig at the relative quality of the music, which I don't disagree with, but I also think my point still stands).

yeah i was bummed about this at the phx show, they really just way out there and you dont see any of the guitar faces or band interactions or pickup switching or expressions. i enjoyed the show but it couldve been way better with the screens on.
― I Chet the Holmgren (Spottie), Thursday, 16 May 2024 19:44 (four months ago) link
When I saw him in 2012, I was genuinely surprised that he was still using as stage decor the giant amps from the Rust-era. I knew he used them for the Ragged Glory tour preserved on Weld, but I hadn't seen any video or pictures of recent shows, just audio from a ton of bootlegs, so it was actually a pleasant surprise for me. From a certain distance it probably looks hilarious if you're not jaded by it - tiny Crazy Horse rocking out among the amps - but I can see how it's a drag if it supplants any screens that would've been helpful.
― birdistheword, Friday, 17 May 2024 00:53 (four months ago) link
I saw him in 2001 and there were no giant amps that I recall - but in 2013 he had all the giant stage props and istr scientists with clipboards and lab coats scurrying around! really appreciated the dumbness of it!
2001 had a fantastic setlist of all the songs you'd want them to play but 2013 was the better show for me - the psychedelic pill material really gave the set purpose and cohesion
