Can't wait for Neil Young, i'd love it if he played For What It's Worth, does anybody know if he plays any Buffalo Springfield stuff ever? I found a couple of setlists knocking around on the internet and it doesn't look good. Maybe C, S & N will play it.

Cheers bud,

You and Granty are already added to my list of peeps I wanna say hello to at Glasto.

Going to Glasto with someone who is not a Neil fan and so I looking forward to mixing in the 'Neil' crowd.

Kudos!

Seriously, and I know you wont believe this - I would'nt either - but its true.

Twice today, I have tried to reply to this thread but have just given up as I can't explain in words just how important Neil Young is to music.

I am into LOADS of bands, but the variety Neil puts out covers the widest range of moods and emotions from the lonesome ballads (Birds) to the rocking energised overdriven guitar music (Act Of Love) to the pure singalong songs such as (Heart Of Gold). Add on top of that the fact that Neil is basicly 2 artists in one - an unplugged and acoustic genius to a lost-in-music man grinding the plecs along the electric guitar as if his soul depended on it.

There are Neil Young songs that whenever I hear them just stop me in my tracks and make me think about things. There are Neil Young songs that whenever I hear them I want to just turn it up to 11 and rock my body 'til I get whiplash.

Thats why you should see him! ;-)

Harvest Moon is beautiful.

He's headlining at the Isle of Wight fest in a week or two, and that's usually well covered on tv,

so you could brush up on him before Glasto kicks off.

Don't really know too much of his stuff but I'll be watching him as I think it'll be one of those Glasto

moments when he plays Heart of Gold and like a hurricane.

Winterlong, Mansion on the Hill, Love in Mind, Albuqurque, Change Your Mind are some songs nobody has mentioned worth checking out...

Out of a MASSIVE back catalogue, you picked my personal fave Neil tunes - a shake of your hand at the cider bus is in order I think!

Good shout!

To answer the question, go watch Erol Alkan with everyone else under 40.
