    Check out this ‘master set list’ that Neil and POTR drew up for Arroyo Seco on Saturday. Some really rare stuff on here that may see the light of day for the first time in years.

    Someone spotted ‘It’s Raining in Paradise’ on there... It’s from 1982, a studio outtake either from the rejected Island In The Sun album or from Trans, and it’s never been officially released, never been played live...

    Do they have that setlist on the stage with them and just cherry pick from it or something or what way do they work it, like where was that photograph posted? That's awesome. I love love love artists that have so much stuff in their repertoire that they can just play stuff they haven't done for years (no shit Conor, look who's website we're all posting on!). It's something that I try to do with my own music as well actually, this very technique, a master setlist and once something has been played once it doesn't get done again til all others have been played.

    The photo was taken at Arroyo Seco (you can see the stage backdrop), and posted on Instagram, then added to an NY Facebook group. I think it's the list of the songs they have been working on; some reviews of the show mention that Neil was choosing some of the songs as he went along. It says a lot about POTR - and the respect Neil has for them - that they have such a huge list to chose from and can change on a whim.

    Confirmation on NYA that ‘the giant song list’ is real! Anything can happen with POTR!

    Damn, that is so fucking cool. I hope they do a more extensive tour with POTR.

    I saw the first performance of Neil and Willie's boys together back at Farm Aid in Raleigh.

    Acoustic version of Rockin'. never thought they would go on to be such a great backup band for Neil.

    Man he is pure magic. My netire life, from childhood till now just flows over me when I hear that voice. Man I need to see him live more than I have. Once a tour aint enough.

    I've loved Neil's music for so long it's unreal but for the life of me, try as I might, I just can't get behind POTR.  I don't know what's up with that.

    Their live jam skills are tremendous. They almost blew my face off when I saw them. They have no problem keeping up with Neil when they're jamming, and it's all very creative IMO. :)

    Is there anything in particular you don’t like about them Brian? I haven’t listened to any of their stuff without Neil, but I love the way they inspire him on stage. Crazy Horse may be ‘the ultimate garage band’ but there’s no way they could pull off half of the songs that Neil has available to play now.

    It's hard for me to put a finger on why, really.  One thing for sure, when Neil is on stage, I have no interest in anyone else playing lead guitar.  And generally I'm not a fan of the three guitars/ bass, drums configuration.  Judging by the video footage I've seen, the vibe of that band just doesn't work for me.  There's a sound quality there that doesn't do it for me. 

    Nothing I've said is meant in any way to disparage the band.  We all hear differently.  There is a lot of music I respect and appreciate but that I don't care for.  I'd guess we all feel that way, right?

    The other reason- and I fully admit this is sheer bias speaking- is that POTR to be is to me like a side project.  For me, there is just no substitute for Crazy Horse.  Again, this is no slam on POTR.  They make music that excites their fans and I give them total respect for that... just not time on my turn table.

    Oh, I don't think they're making any studio music that particularly excites the fans, lol. POTR are really good with Neil live, so I can appreciate them, but the albums Neil and them have released are generally pretty bad in the scheme of things. I can enjoy The Monsanto Years, but everything they've done in the studio after that isn't worth my time. If I hadn't actually seen them perform I think my opinion would be lower.

    Neil has played more with other bands than he has with CH.

    Speaking of Monsanto, Neil’s going to have get creative with his lyrics if he’s going to play those songs again...
