    i finally saw heart of gold tonight!!!

    i was awestruck...fixated on neil. it's a passionate performance and the intros to a couple of songs left me with a huge lump in my trhoat...especially when he was talking about his dad's passing and then he played "far from home"...and talking about his daughter growing up and then playing "here for you"

    one of my favourite moments was during "harvest moon" when neil turns directly around and looks at peggi and sings "i wanna see you dance again, because i'm still in love with you"...then "the old laughing lady" at the end ???!??!! forget about it! :D

    this is an astounding musical performance. so happy to have seen it in the theatre. so happy demme and neil decided to make it! dvd goes into the collection the day it comes out....

    I just saw this film. It was only in my city for a week and I took it in with only six or eight other people in the theater.

    What a great way to spend an hour and a half! I look forward to the home video release in June, too.

    Go see it if you have the chance!

    i've been thinking about this movie a lot since seeing it rhino. happy it finally came around for you! :) there were only about ten people in the theatre when i saw it too. i really can't wait to see it again. i wouldn't hesitate to call it one of my favourite movies, even though i've only seen it once. it feels like so much more than merely a concert film.

    i still get chills thinking about neil introducing a couple of the songs, telling his stories, and especially the ending.

    Yeah, I thought the closing credits were BRILLIANT!

    How much fun was it to watch the whole guitar team on those last couple of songs? Peg, Emmylou, and all the others backing Neil and genuinely having fun with a great man and his great music.

    It was also amazing to hear why he wrote Old Man, about singing for his daddy, and watching him throw down on guitar, harp, banjo, AND piano. The guy is a pure music treasure.

    The movie is definitely a must-have when the DVD comes out next month.

    That was an amazing movie! The theater was full when I saw it in Philly, and like Rhinomagic and Mookie said, his stories about why he wrote them, and his glance at Peggy during Harvest Moon really got to me.

    I've never been in a movie theater where everyone sat quiet and enthralled for the closing credits! Not a dry eye in the house!
    When we were all walking out, I asked the girl at the ticket booth if people came out with tears in their eyes every showing, and she said yup! She said she cried everytime she watched it, too!
    When Jonathan Demme makes a music film,,,, I DEFINITELY go for it!
    Stop Making Sense, Last Waltz and Neil,,, you just can't go wrong!

    Here's an interview with Neil and Jonathan:
