Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

For years, fans of Neil Young and Crazy Horse have been waiting for an official chance to hear Crazy Horse live with original leader Danny Whitten, the insanely talented guitarist who died of a heroin overdose in late 1972, inspiring Tonight's the Night. Tuned-in fans have been awaiting this very set for at least a dozen years, as it was originally to be tacked onto the end of a Decade-style triple CD of outtakes. Thankfully, this well-recorded live set from the infamous Fillmore East was well worth the wait. Here are scorching, extended takes of "Down by the River," "Winterlong," and "Cowgirl in the Sand," each propelled by guitar interplay so delightful you have to keep rewinding to hear it again. In fact, bits of it seem to prefigure the ways that Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine would feed off each other in the band Television, only with less of a sweet edge. But the world doesn't need any more arguments that Young was a proto-punk; what the world does need is at least a dozen more releases from Neil's archives! And hopefully, with this awesome live album, the floodgates have truly been opened and there are many more to come, in the vein of Dylan's Bootleg series. This disc is worth it alone for the version of "Wondering," a tune not officially recorded until many years later in Neil's weird '80s rockabilly phase. --Mike McGonigal


CD Description

Neil Young's in-concert guitar prowess with Crazy Horse is well documented. LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST, recorded at a 1970 performance, nevertheless, fills a major hole in the Young legacy, containing the only live recordings of Young's legendary guitar interplay with original Crazy Horse member Danny Whitten, who died the following year. Performing songs from their most recent release, EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE, the band simultaneously digs in with a visceral, gritty gestalt, and expands outward with Young and Whitten's exploratory six-string journeys.
Of added interest to hardcore Young fans are performances of three songs that wouldn't be recorded until years later--the countrified "Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown," the elegiac "Winterlong," and the lovelorn shuffle "Wonderin'." Augmenting the basic quartet of Young, Whitten, and the stalwart rhythm section of Ralph Molina andBilly Talbot is Young's once-and-future producer Jack Nitzsche on electric piano. Together the five create a thick, sprawling sonic beast that unfolds itself with undeniable gravitas over the course of this priceless set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blistering, 14 Nov 2006
By Callie (To the North) - See all my reviews
This album has been worth the wait.You'll never hear better versions of "Down by the river" and "Cowgirl in the sand" .The whole album is brilliant and Neil is so passionate ,almost manic.The band are so tight and,bless him,it's a pity Danny Whitten didn't stay with us longer.The Horse seem seem to have so much more energy with Danny around.
They don't make music like this anymore.
Treat yourself.This is rock'n'roll at it's best.
Roll on the next archive release.
Rock'n' roll can never die !!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars wondering when the next release will be!, 16 Nov 2006
By C. Gorman "chrisgpix" (NZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Its a real shame that the tapes for the rest of this show no longer exist, however the tracks that survive here are suberb in their own right!.
I'm amazed at how good a recording this is considering its 36 years ago!...sounds like it was recorded yesterday. The recording also benifits from very little crowd noise which can become a little too much on other live albums.
Crazy Horse are probably at their peak here thanks to Danny Whitten, all tracks are superb with special mentions for Cowgirl in the Sand and Down By the River, both of which are lessons on how rock guitar really should be played....the interplay between Young and Whitten is jawdroppingly good!
Can't wait for future vault releases!

4.0 out of 5 stars we know there's a lot more..., 4 Feb 2007
By A. Manley "Andrew" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This would have got an automatic five stars if it had been a carefully thought out double CD, with a little more supporting context. The other thought is that one now starts to realise what a dreadful loss Danny Whitten (d.1972) clearly was to Young and the band. He was a pulse that Young could really feed off live and loud. (No disrepect to Frank Sampedro). My only other observation is that after the genuinely spooky/disturbed version of "Down By the River" here, I'll probably never bother listening to the studio recording ever again. For the record, I'm not a Young obsessive saddo, and I think I was about 4 when this was recorded so I'm not an old hippy either. But genius is timeless. We know there are hell of a lot of archives. Bring 'em on, Mr Young... Go, Go, Go That Horse!!
