    Man, these videos are great. It's absolute gold seeing these guys still out there on stage together. They're as real as it gets.
    Yeah, here’s just something so right about seeing Neil, Billy, and Ralph together. Poncho and Nils are missed, but I love how well Micah has slotted in with The Horse as well.

    Thanks again from me as well! 
    And yes, Micah seems to be fitting in quite nicely.  Fascinating, that relatively long line of Horse rhythm guitarists, and all so great from Danny to Poncho to Nils to Micah!

    Neil and Crazy Horse were awesome last night! 
    Highlight for me was Harvest Moon but everything sounded really good!

    I actually thought it was Lucas Nelson that was playing with the Horse but it's Micah, and yeah he's fitting in nicely. Considering the guys are all around the 80 mark now, they sound great. Neil seems to be playing and singing as well as ever. Great to see!

    Yeah Ralph and Billy are both 80 now, Neil is a comparatively youthful 78  =)

    Bought Fu##in Up for record store day such a great sound that only Neil & the horse can make. Interesting art work as well 🤔

    Fu##in up sounds great! Ragged in all its glory !


    Who puts out killer albums three decades into their career? Neil, that’s who. Ragged, Moon, Freedom, if I don’t mention Mirrorball, then what?

    Yeah. It was really interesting that they did that. If you can still find it you should get it. It is great.

    I love Neil and the Horse of course, but at some point I feel compelled to not buy every release he puts out, not because they aren't worth hearing, but because of dollar and cents, and space (the final frontier).

    So tell me fans, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 meaning buying an old rusty hammer would be better expenditure, and 10 being meaning of the gods, you must have this or risk going to hell) where would you rank this purchase?

    Edit: of course, I'm referring to Fu##in' up

    I can’t tell you. Skipped the last six or seven NY releases. I truly feel like he’s been phoning it in for a while.

    Have to admit, some of Neils stuff is definitely not up to par these days.  But when I think about his age, the long road he's been on, the multiple health issues he's battle, I think phoning in beats the alternative, and when he still makes the magic happen now and then like he did on that version of "Cortez the Killer" from the 24th in San Diego, I'm thanking the heaven he's still out there doing it. 

    So OK, waiting for the votes to come in.  F##in' Up, One to Ten, let's hear it, folks.

    I’d give F##in' Up about a 6 or a 7. To me it’s a solid album, but part of my slightly lower score is because it’s not my favourite source material, I.E., Ragged Glory isn’t one of my go to Neil albums. Still a very good listen and I suspect bigger fans of Ragged Glory would like this one even more.

    I noticed this on FU and Now and Then. Neil finally sounds OLD.
