    I'm not impressed with the pricing for the Toronto show; I'm not surprised by it, but was hoping for more similar prices to the other shows in other provinces.

    That said,I was willing to shell out 200 dollars for GA, but not 275. Now I have to figure out where I should sit.

    I'm pretty sure GA Floors will be $90 to $100. The last time NY played the ACC, lower bowl seating close to the stage was $250, and GA floor was $75. So don't fret, GA floor will be less than $200 for sure.

    q
    That's good news! Thank you!

    My pleasure. :D Now here's more good news: GA Floor tix for Toronto will be $90.

    I still don't have tixx - not sure who I'm gonna go with and how much I want to spend.

    Let's meet in Chicago.

    Sure - I got nothing going on. :lol:

    I miss some in this thread, like Trans, Old Ways, Landing on Water, Life... And Trans, I know a lot of fans don't like this. Get some beer, get some food and listen to this:
    Concert part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhSe-3FWZaQ
    Concert part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqnYW4EPzfE
    I do like songs as Sample and Hold played as in 1986.

    Chrome Dreams, a 1977 unreleased album. Contains River of Pride (released as White Line on Ragged Glory): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aaoi1_P8qY8

    What I also like about Neil Young: Too Far Gone, Country Home, Fucking Up, River of Pride, all songs come from the seventies. But are released on albums since 1989...

    I still remember the last tour Neil did with Ben Keith. I saw Ben Keith with Neil Young for the first time in 2009. At that moment, I didn't knew it would be the last time. It was a great show. Biggest surprise was Lost in Space, not much played live.
    The setlist of that show: http://www.sugarmtn.org/show.php?show=200906070
    Larry Craigg played banjo on Old Man, sounded great!

    I finally picked up Americana yesterday and it definitely sounds like NY and Crazy Horse. Highlights upon first listen include Oh Susanna, Clementine and God Save the Queen. Get a Job sounded a bit out of place, but I'll still accept it on the disc. Overall I'm giving it a 7.5/10 based on my initial spin of the disc.

    Clementine just blows me away.

    Really like Susannah, Jesus Chariot.

    Can't get into Gallows Pole - maybe just have to get used to it and the idea that it doesn't sound like Led Zep's version. (yeah, I know Robert Plant didn't write it, of course)

    God Save the Queen sounds good but also a little ridiculous.

    Get a Job - I can't get through it - it really annoys me.

    This Land Is Your Land - I don't know - it's not "Crazy Horse"d enough.

    I do really enjoy the album despite all my complaints. :lol: It's a glorious mess, in the way that so many of Uncle Neil's albums are.

    ^ I agree with your view on This Land is Your Land, it really isn't Horsed up. And Gallows Pole, too, isn't what I was expecting from this band; I guess Zeppelin really did do it best.

    The song "On The Beach" is the moodiest shit ever...so fucking good.

    Every time Neil sings "I went to the radio interview...," I always interrupt with "tell 'em what happ'ned Neil, tell 'em"...which is followed by my wife in the passenger seat rolling her eyes. Haha.

    Such a great song/album.

    My wife rolling her eyes in the passenger seat while Neil plays is a fairly common occurrence. :lol:

    What's that radio interview line referring to, you know? Yeah that song is fucking awesome.

    Any NY and Radiohead fans would appreciate this:

    Hmm...that's a good question. My best effort: I picture this song as the background to the New York City that exists in a Woody Allen movie...the dingy, bustling scenes where Michael Caine is a sex symbol and everyone's depressed and medicated. The album and song was written in the early 70s and so much of what the 70s was grew out of what the 60s failed to be...maybe Neil wrote this as the ambiguous and tortured brooding of someone who hates what the world had become but still harbors that elemental need to be part of it. Every socially conscious person goes through that - you hate the world for the way it is, and instead of doing the logical thing and rejecting it altogether, you still want to change it - and the 70s was probably hyper-saturated with that feeling.

    Ok...so maybe I've thought a lot about this song. :lol: But that's my best guess.

    Yeah, I wasn't expecting all that. :lol:

    Check this out: interview with Cameron Crowe in 1975. He's talking about making Zuma and all kinds of shit - good stuff! I guess the appreciation for Tonight's the Night developed over time - neither party seems too fond of it at this point.
