    I saw it on Friday. Very, very good. The Prairie Wind stuff was amazing, I found myself getting really excited about songs I thought I had listened to a few millions times too many (Heart of Gold, Old Man, Harvest Moon, etc.)
    Beautifully shot and staged, the solo Old Laughing Lady at the end is just transcendental.

    go to http://www.heartofgoldmovie.com/releaseDates.html for a complete listing of where its showing in the next few months.

    I'm still trying to listen to it all but a great little show from the early 70's. Right before harvest came out i think this is the show from london that has been traded heavily perhaps the 71 show? anyeay it's good stuff.

    For all of you who aren't able to see it because of distance or whatever other reason, I heard it's coming out on DVD sometime in May, and will include the one Prairie Wind song not in theatres (He Was The King).

    If you are a neil young fan you need to go see this movie. I got to see it this afternoon. Great crowd some old rusties some young rusties. I saw a mom with what looked like her 16 year old daughter seeing it together i thought that was cool.

    I have been outspoken about how i thought this was a good album but not a great album. After seeing the film i have a higher opinion of the album. The Prairie Wind songs sound great live and neil put's his all into it. The version of hte Title track Prairie Wind seemed really touching. he told a little story about his dad before hand and he just seemed to pour his all into it. It was little moments like that that really make the album even better now.

    I loved the ending with him playing old laughing lady. Probalby the best version of that song i've heard.

    AWESOME experience for any neil fan a MUST see.

    I went down to Nashville yesterday to see Heart of Gold. I've got a new respect for Prarie Wind now. The film was awesome. Also, at the theater they had on display a Martin guitar signed by Neil Young and an Epiphone signed by Emmylou Harris.

    I saw it many others in an empty theatre with my family...it was great.

    Heart of Gold was amazinggg (the song) and of course the rest was awesome too. Felt really intimate. Great cinematography. As previously noted the end was great.

    i'll keep my fingers crossed for you rhino. i keep checking for halifax...but no luck yet. with all the rave reviews i thought it might have made the jump to wider release by now, but there are dates being added consistently on the heart of gold site...i'll try to stay optimistic for us both getting a chance to see it! :)

    I don't think it ever came to Houston. :(

    For being such a big city Houston really sucks if you're into live music or the like. I guess I'll wait for it on dvd.

    Shit man, I was looking for it! Oh well, I've got Netflix, I'll get it as soon as it comes out. I'm sure I'll end up buying it.
