OT: The Music Thread Part Xi

Neil stepping up to support Bruce!

Robert Plant has thrown his weight behind Bruce Springsteen following The Boss's recent remarks

While addressing the crowd at a Saving Grace concert in Tampere-talo, Tampere, Finland, the Led Zeppelin legend voiced his support for Springsteen.

He remarked: "Right now in England, which is where we come from - not quite the land of the ice and snow - Bruce Springsteen is touring right now in the UK.

And he's putting out some really serious stuff. So tune in to him.

Pigpen showed he had great taste with this sitting on his keyboard

Well, until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes
And do it soon, Do it now, do it to it



I'm telling all you beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high, take it to 'em

As Young himself put it, “Every musician has one guy in the planet that he can play with better than anyone else. You only get one guy. My guy was Danny Whitten”.

Always liked his Crazy Horse stuff with Danny best



Vocals with Neil were like sippin' a smooth blend



Danny wrote this but never cashed in on it

 

[BMC]

Neil has written & performed many interesting songs but I can take his voice only so much.

 

[Ladyfan]

Neil has said a few times that he enjoys playing guitars with Stills.

 

[GordonHowe]

Why not?

My eldest brother Greg, who is no longer with us, gave me my appreciation for Neil.

I well remember both After the Gold Rush and Harvest upon their release.

They made me a lifelong fan.

Go Neil, go!

Maybe so, but for my money, Neil Young and Pancho Sampedro were even better...All of my favorite songs of his with the Horse were with Frankie on guitar....

Little known fact.....This song was supposed to be recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd on their next album. When that didn't happen because of the plane crash, he recorded it himself on Rust. Its still one of my favorite songs of his. I have a hard time imagining Skynyrd doing it...



Saw him and the Horse live at Alpine Valley back in 1987. Here was the setlist.
