I mean seriously guys, i think it is time to throw some of the gems from that classic LP into rotation... Act of Love, Peace and Love, and Throw Your Hatred Down are some of the best songs about peace and love this band has ever recorded, and it seems like 2014 would be a great time to dust them off... especially in Memphis or Moline since this die hard Uncle Neil fan is road tripping in from Delaware

i dare you to blow my mind

    Act of Love. First song I ever heard live from the band on 7-9-1995! Great song!
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I thought they sound checked Act Of Love in Calgary last year?

    I'd they're going to play a song from this record, dust off I'm The Ocean.

    I'm still praying for a Mirrorball tour show for vault 4. Wishful thinking

    Great idea.... love the video of Neil/Jam in the Kids are Twenty. Neil's body language says it all. He's having a blast. Def the best band uncle Neil has played with other than the Horse.

    While we are at it, let's petition them to put out some live bootlegs from that European tour with Neil. Guess it would be more up to Mr. Young though, as he probably owns the rights to this.

    They have played it a few times and every version I have heard was killer

    Just a really great song... that needs to be played more often

    Not sure how many "classic" fans are in attendance at concerts anymore......could be a reason for not playing the gems of that album.

    The non-classic fan response to hearing these songs would be like our response to hearing Sonic Reducer.

    Jimi's playin' in the back room
    Led Zeppelin on stage
    There's a mirror ball twirlin'
    And a note from Page
    Like a water-washed diamond
    In a river of sin
    Goin' down like a whirlpool
    When you get sucked in

    Yeah, Give me I'm The Ocean. Either before or after Oceans. That's a Combo I'd kill to see.
    There's no need to say goodbye
