This is the one "official" live album of his I go back to regularly. I don't notice any elements of "overproduction" on it.

I know it's been done here before, but it bears repeating. The greatest four album run in the history of rock and roll right there.

And a subtle opinion at that.

Neil Young 1960's vs. 1970's. . . Let me pull an Analogman here.

It's Crazy Horse Version 2.0. Poncho for Danny. I think Ragged Glory is amazing. "Mother Earth" is okay. Everything else is vintage Horse. It's ragged (imagine that). Loose and sloppy at times. The Horse with off-key, yelling-from-the-distance harmonies. There's a live feel to the album. There's long, meandering guitar solos. It's a spontaneous effort. My only complaint with it is that "Don't Spook the Horse" wasn't included. For me, an all-time classic album. As far as the second "real Crazy Horse album" goes. . . .

Not sure. The fact that I enjoy(ed) Ten Mile Grace and was primed via Aquarium Drunkard for Are Men makes me all the more ashamed I finally picked this up on January 31st.

I got faith in you.

In 1988 and 1989 all I listened to was Led Zeppelin. I took an almost 20 year break from Plant, Page, Jones, and Bonham. They were a wonderful rediscovery for me in 2008.

Just an evil lie?

Picked this up on vinyl this week.

I now need to tweak my "Best of 2008" list.

I get paid by a ten year old. He says he looks up to me. There's still crime in the city. But it's good to be free. I won't tear you apart. I simply disagree with how you approach Neil. At the end of the day, we both still love the man. All good. Happy New Year!

Haven't listened to this in a while.

The lack of chord change in "Loose Change" kills it for most folks.

You don't like "Crime in the City"? I like the Horsed-up version on Weld better, but I'd still put the acoustic version above something, like, say, "Magick."

I didn't include Freedom in my trio, but it's right there with them. Mirror Ball is very, very good. As is Sleeps With Angels, Silver & Gold, Living With War, and Prairie Wind. I know I'll be in the minority here, but I also love Broken Arrow. "I'm still livin' the dream we had. For me it's not over." R.I.P. David Briggs.

Harvest Moon Ragged Glory Greendale All amazing albums.
