TCP Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Is that Jason Molina's cousin as the rumours say?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willkoman Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Get this. At the Chevrolet Theater in Wallingford, CT. where I go they have the show billed as Neil Young with Pegi Young. Is that Jason Molina's cousin as the rumours say?? I'm looking forward more to the Jason Molina show than Neil Young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willkoman Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 well, she is the opener I just didn't see it billed as that on Ticketmaster. It kind of scared me at first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 heard the first single, the 18 min. 'Ordinary People'...it was obviously recorded in the late 80s. it has such a cheezy synth piano on it along with the 80s drum sound ect along with neil soundling like he is 40 years old, not 62. inexcusable move on neil's part. and again, if the tour is neil and pegi, as with farm aid, it's gonna be painful. pegi is flat as hell.

As for farm aid....where is everyone hearing this? On you tube there are only 20 second clips and neil doesn't sound bad at all, and peggi is barely int he mix.

aricandover Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I got his Farm Aid set off of Demonoid, and I think it sounds good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Listening to it now. It's definitely a recording from the Neil Young & The Restless band (the same one that did 'Freedom' and the 88-89 tour). Definitely sounds like Pancho on guitar and Chad Cromwell on drums --- definitely not Ralphie. Honestly though, I don't mind. I've heard live versions of this song that sound very similar to this released recording, so it sounds right this way...if that makes any sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

explodo Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I avoid most anything Neil from the 80's (even Freedom) so this is pretty awful to my ears. Are we just supposed to ignore that terrible synth? Really curious to hear how this will match up with the rest of the record now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 fwiw, that rip above sounds god awful... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hmmm. After 18 minutes, I actually kind of liked it. Especially that the synth became less prevalent... And yeah, there's couldn't be more static fuzz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I understand, the rip of the song was originally recorded on a boombox, then transferred to mp3. So yeah, the sound quality is dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
