Neil Young

[Jamm]

So, let’s talk Shakey.

Newcomers album recommendations:

 

Live - Weld, Noise & Flowers, Glastonbury 2009, Carnegie Hall 1979

 

Studio - After the gold rush, Rust never sleeps, Harvest, Everybody knows this is nowhere, 

 

Rumoured to headline but irregardless if he does or not it’s very likely he’ll be touring Europe with the Chrome Hearts so worth the discussion regardless - https://m.neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/article?id=A Message from Neil - 11-15-24

 

Headliners 2025 thread already covered if he should headline (yes, yes he should) but what would his Glastonbury setlist look like in 2025, would he retread the ground of 2009 or go completely left?

From the bigger songs sincerely hope Old Man and Only Love Can Break Your Heart return to his repertoire - both have been absent since 2019. With the anniversary of On The Beach maybe Walk On gets an airing. Controversially I can do without Sugar Mountain and Powderfinger.

For big songs he missed last time: Ohio, Southern Man, Helpless, After the gold rush, Hank to Hendrix, like a hurricane, Mr Soul, Cortez the Killer, When you dance, Cowgirl in the sand, Don’t let it bring you down, The Loner, Walk on, Tonight’s the night… and much more. In terms of repeats I think Heart of gold and rockin in the free world will be safe and I would hope Hey Hey and Cinnamon Girl stick.

 

In an ideal world would get to see him do a festival crowd pleaser set, and see him headline his own show playing whatever the hell he wants to.

 

Also…. Neil played a set with Stills in October, and Nash is touring next year. Though not sure Nash’s current relationship with the others.

I've got Weld on at the moment, I've also listened to Carnegie Hall this week. Such a bredth of work, it's hard to know exactly what I'd want without sacrificing something else. Number one on my wishlist though is Cortez. He could just stretch that out for 90 minutes and I'd be happy.

[Scrump]

I keep coming back to NY and just can't seem to crack it. If anyone can let me know the killer song list to help me get it, I'd be mucho appreciato!

 

Maybe he's just not for me

There’s a bit of width to his stuff, depends what kind of music you like generally! I can hit you up with some recommendations if you can say some of your favourite artists

Exactly this, the with and breath of his work is so vast that it changes weekly what my favourite style is

Neil Young is brilliant. Bang on any of his records and you won't go too far wrong. Fantastic live. Sticks it to the man. What more can you want?

Motion Pictures.

 

 

Though bugger all chance of hearing him play it live anywhere, let alone at Glastonbury.

Would be appreciated!

Ok I skew toward the rock and indie end of the spectrum. LCD soundsystem, sprints,idles etc.

But also love most genres... Reggae old school rock, folk for sure, funk n soul.

 

Mate, let's call a spare a spade, I'm a 6 music dad.

Heart of Gold remains timelessly magnificent. Just a perfect song.

[49Lawson]

Apologies if it’s old news but it was definitely happening. Definitely isn’t now

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Bloody hell. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Sounds like some strong words have been expressed behind the scenes if he’s gonna go ahead and slag the fest off on his website. 

[Moobles]

Gutted 😞 

[Ryan1984]

I wonder just what they wanted him to do? Lots of chats with Clara Amfo etc?

 

also interested to see if Emily responds.

I’d doubt it if it’s to do with personal discussions . 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Be to do with broadcasting the set...

neil young feeds the ducks in his hometown/village (i saw him doing it.), and is best seen when not spinning out on ecstasy

You cursed it. Get in the sea. 

[uscore]

Presumably there'll be opportunities to see him at plenty of definitely-not-corporate events on the tour instead.  🙄

[charlierc]

Am I the only one scratching my head at his own reasons cited for why he's pulling out and throwing a strop about BBC involvement?

 

If he was then turning up at American Express presents BST Hyde Park, as was also rumoured, that would just really confuse a few people a bit more.

[Crazyfool01]

This cooperate Neil Young thread killed any dream people had 

[balti-pie]

Oh ffs. This has right shat on my chips, the only prospective headliner I had an interest in. He’d have smashed it too, obvs. I can’t be bothered with bloody BST but that seems like the path of least resistance for him, which will be oh so less corporate than the pyramid field ffs 

[Crazyfool01]

Also those tents featured on the removed and reinstated statement on his website have been there for years

I guess he's thinking if it's corporate he wants paying as such

[Drew3232]

Was chatting to someone last year at the fest. He was saying that now Emily is in charge it has become a lot more profit-driven.
