I'm sorry but as much as I love Neil's music I don't see this one lasting a full round.

The Baldwin Exterminator!
its like a keyboard amp crossed with a vending machine. with colored pushy-slidey tone buttons called the 'supersound' feature. made in fayetteville, arkansas from approx 1968-69, before baldwin bought gretch and stopped making amps that sd baldwin on them. mine has a sticker on the back warning that the "D.H. Baldwin Co. does not guarantee against the loss of hearing as a result of using this amplifier"

I thought that too, until I read this part of the interview w/his guitar guy Larry Cragg:

"Neil has his own private P.A and a Yamaha mixer. He has a separate microphone that's not connected to the house for each amp, and he can mix these to any level he wants. He mainly hears Deluxe, a lot of Baldwin, and very little Magnatone. Out front and on record, you can hear mostly Deluxe and Magnatone. Inside the big speaker cabinet to the audience's right are 2 two-way Maryland Sound P.A. cabinets with 2 15s and a horn apiece. These cabinets have 2000 watts of biamped power, and gets turned excruciatingly loud. It just kills me to go out there-I just about get knocked over. And that's what Neil's hearing."

so okay,
if it is Bear vs Neil Youngs guitar backline, then maybe we have the contest!

Oh, yeah, the bear has claws, Neil gets to use his amps...
