YES. A great performance/recording.

Kinda forgot about it... Will play ASAP.

This is going to sound like a 'my kid is hip' post but in the car today 'C'mon baby lets go downtown' came on the stereo. My daughter, 3 years old, demanded very forcefully that it was turned up very loud and then repeated whilst she air guitared.

That's actually Danny Whitten.

Maybe she's all about the junk.

I had this exact same experience. It was the first Neil Young album I'd heard, so I still have a sentimental attachment.

I actually used some lines from "Thrashers" as my senior year yearbook quote.

Also had this same experience! 8 years old, the single of "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" plays in a Pizza Hut while I'm gorging on wagon wheel pasta with Mom... That sound!

Extremely vivid 30 years later.

My favorite song from that record is probably "Powderfinger," but "Pocahontas" is also very powerful without nasty distorted & overdriven sound.

That don't make them go away

He could have stopped writing lyrics with that one. One of my favorite lines of all time.

Daddy's rifle in my hands felt reassuring
He told me "Red means run, son
Numbers add up to nothin'

(Sorry, I'm listening to that song right now.)

Another great one:

Though my feet aren't on the ground
I been standing on the sound
Of some open-hearted people going down

"He tried to do his best but he could not."

Oh, hell yeah. Forgot about that one! Listening to that album now.

She could drag me over the rainbow,
and send me away.
Down by the river,
I shot my baby.

You're all just pissing in the wind
You don't know it, but you are.
And there ain't nothing like a friend
Who can tell you you're all pissing in the wind.

Also, pretty much every line in "Revolution Blues" is totally killer.
