This is surely one of the finest live videos ever released. It feautures some of Neil Young's greatest songs. Firstly Neil plays a few tracks acoustic including lovely versions of 'Sugar Mountain' and 'Comes a Time' and then brings out Crazy Horse for a tour-de-force electric set that includes 'Powderfinger','When You Dance' and awesome versions of 'Lotta Love' and 'Like a Hurricane'. The concert is set on a huge stage with giant musical equipment so it looks like just a young mans rock fantasy but the music speaks for itself. Superb.

One of those "classics"!Looks like Neil Young taught Spinal Tap how to turn it up to eleven!!I was just about to buy the vhs being frustrated at the dvd not being available,then up it sprung.I got home and turned the lights low,turned the amp up.....then it took ages to get into it!The event looked great but the constant footsteps of the little jawa,s was a bit offputting.Afterwards i felt a bit ripped off,the quality was a bit fuzzy(i know its old but)then i watched it just by song selection instead of the whole movie and i got a much better feel for it.Well worth owning.A classic moment in history, some of his solos are unbelievable and the sound he makes with a 12string and harmonica is beautiful....he plugs it in and turns it up real good!!!!!A great dvd and im very happy with it!

What would you do if the world as you knew it had just come to an end? That's what the dinosaurs of rock faced in 1977 when the storm that was Punk swept in. Do you run and hide or do you join in and embrace it. Neil Young joined in when most ran and this is the result. Maybe not in the first acoustic part of this concert but it's there in Welfare Mothers and Sedan Delivery for example. Based on Johnny Rotten's 'it's better to burn out cause rust never sleeps' comment, Neil fuses old rock and new punk and comes up with Grunge although it wouldn't be called that for quite a while. This is the record of one of those rare moments in history when everything comes together perfectly. This is a seminal moment and needs to be preserved for posterity - it's that good. Buy it. You will not regret it.

Untamed!
This is a profoundly impressive and powerful live show, the like of which I have rarely encountered since. It will blow you away with its production and its sheer energy.

Crank it up to 11.........
This is a brilliant concert. The noise that Young and Crazy Horse make is amazing. But the noise that Young makes on his own is mesmerizing. Read more
