curmudgeoness said:I'd have to agree. The filmmaking was terrible. And it needed an editor. And some indication of who the various people were, and where they were, and... it was just not a good movie.
And honestly. I LOVE Neil but not like the songs sounded peak either… and it didn’t help the songs it was shot so lifeless.

Yes -- I was stunned by the "two old dudes stuck in traffic" opening, but I assumed concert footage would be the payoff. But the concert footage was *bad* -- fixed shots of the blurry stage from a distance, no shots of audience, footage of Neil was grainy and focused squarely on his guitar/belly (his head sometimes not even in the frame).
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.0 -
This reminds me of when he released the album in the phone booth. Cool concept but completely botched. No offense Neil and Jack White lolsevered hand thirteen2006: Gorge 7/23 2008: Hartford 6/27 Beacon 7/1 2009: Spectrum 10/30-31

Sounds like I didn't miss much (but then, being old myself, I might have had lower expectations and might have liked it a bit more than some). But what about the soundtrack LP? The few reviews I've read make it sound interesting.

I finally got around to picking up Oceanside Countryside on vinyl. It’s the first time in years I haven’t either preordered a Neil record or gone out on release day. To be honest, I’ll probably never play it, and it felt like an unnecessary purchase. It’s not an era of his that I particularly enjoy, and how many copies of Pocahontas do you actually need?

Having said that, it looks like the vinyl production has stopped for a while. It’ll be interesting to see what the ‘errors’ are…

Interesting. Played the record through a few times today and didn’t notice any obvious problems.0

Well, lol, let's put it this way-- I can barely remember what it sounds like."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

Just heard Gene Simmons talk about calling Neil (or his people) trying to get him on the KISS tribute album in the 90s. Hehe."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0

Never fun seeing artists glued to the text (counting Eddie too). But i understand you don't have the lyrics to Ordinary People (Chrome Dreams 2 right?) in the back of your head
But this and Neil sounds great (?)Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
I have never heard of Jonathan Demme doing a this Neil-film. What is this? Is it worth checking out?
