He is one of the last great rock n rollers of a generation, yet he continues to lead and inspire a new generation of fans. He is the definition of cool, class and "fuck you" rock and roll!

A few years ago i really started getting into older music, i think it started when i was driving around with my dad and he had it playing in the car, older music just had more appeal to me. I new I liked Young's songs but not for the best reason until lately. I always liked the great rythyms and easy going beats, but now im really starting to research the meaning of some of his songs. I never took them to be that deep until i read the lyrics. I enjoy his music 10X more now. I only hope he plays in southern ontario sometime before he stops touring so I can have the chance to hear him live. Keep on rockin neil!

I remember that I didn't go anywhere withoug Neil's ablum tucked under my arm. I was nicknamed "Neil" to my friends. It/he has marked who I am,trust me, that has been a good thing.
Still rockin with you...

At 9/15/2006 02:30:00 PM, Jeff said...: My friends used to go out driving on Friday and Saturday nights with a good friend in high school. Of course we drank beer and all the other stuff kids were suppose to do in the early 70's. This friend who drove us fell off a car at school and hit his head, he died a few days after that. He used to sing Neil's songs and play his guitar as we listened to them on the tape player. 7 or 8 years ago I saw Neil live for the first time. I think it was the biggest thrill of my life. I'm severly disabled, I have epilepsy, had experimental brain surgery 18 months ago, diabetes for 37 years and lost my right leg. I lost my wife to a friend I took to see Neil but I think he did me a favor. The only thing he could return to me is my Neil Young library. I'm sitting here listening to some of the CDs my daughter recorded on his computer.Neil Young must have the experience of half the world to write the music he does. He's the only man I can relate to. Thanks for listening to this.

At 9/15/2006 02:31:00 PM, Lisa Miller said...: I am just signing this because I have always loved Neil Young's music. He is the greatest - his singing and his playing as well. It's rock & roll at its finest. I have every cassette of his and have now started collecting CD's. And I, like Neil Young, have been around a long time. I've seen and heard lots of great musicians and he is still the best. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Neil.

At 9/15/2006 02:31:00 PM, Linda Dege said...: Neil Young has been such an influence in the relationship between myself and my husband of 33 yrs. The day I asked my husband out he was listening to after the gold rush, that became our song and whenever there were troubles in our lives it was to Neil's music for comfort and affirmation of that perfect time when youfirst me the person you know to be the only important person in the world for you.So I thank you Neil for giving us that and thank you for Prairie Wind, it makes me cry, but I love it.
Thanks, Linda.

and this site is amazing..i loooove it..i check ATLEAST twice a day for updates and stuff...and most times,there are updates..so that's real awsome that it gets updated frequently..some fan sites haven't been updated since 2003,you know?so this site is like a breath of fresh air

this site rocks..i love it..and the Time Fades Away petition is a great idea

so keep up the great work

I've been A big Neil Young fan for over 20 years now, sometimes I'll go months listening to just Neil tunes. I can't begin to say how much Neils music has meant to me. I can't think of another artist who demands the respect and admeration that Neil Young does. Thanks Neil I love ya

All in all I believe he is a remarkable artist with inspirational song that help young artists such as myself find something with great meaning. Don't get me wrong i still have an unconditional love for grunge and punk, but songs such as those by Young make me determined to pursue music. Although my word may not mean much, i would like to say that the powderfinger lyric analysis was exremely well done.

At 10/18/2006 06:48:00 PM, Michael said...: Probably old news but we watched the Jim Jarmusch movie "Broken Flowers" last night and caught a reference to Neil with a character at a flower shop who introduces herself as "Sun, Sun Green" in reply to Bill Murray's question asking her what her name is. Kinda cool subtle rememberance to his friend.
At 10/24/2006 07:53:00 PM, Anonymous said...: Due to all this talk about archives it reminded me of a question I had. I recently recieved a copy of NY & Crazy Horse - Don't Cry No Tears(Live at Chicago '76) and on this CD is the song Country Home. Was the album Ragged Glory the first true release of this song or was it on an earlier album? It sort of blew me away that Neil would wait so long to finally record the song.

Thanks

At 10/27/2006 06:32:00 PM, Carla Sweet said...: Can anyone help me? I am a film student here in San Diego, doing a piece on John Lennon, focusing on his social activism. He was the voice of my generation (I'm in my 50's). and Neil has become that new person for me. My film has several interviews from current musicians (local), but I would love to just have Neil saying his thoughts on Lennon, the peace movement of then and now. Johns message is still here, what does Neil think? Any way of contacting Neil re this?

thanks & peace & light

I have been a Neil Young fan since I went to see him at an ice rink in North Wales in about 1982.I had not heard much of his music before I went but was so blown away by him and his music.
I have followed his career ever since and he never ceases to amaze with his versatility.
The man is simply a genius and long may he run!

Is it okay to ask a question about the Heart Of Gold DVD? If so, what I want to know is this.... what is the make of, and where can I buy, a hat similar to that which Neil wears on the cover?

Any info gratefully received

Have loved you since I was 16 (now 54) and you are still so cute. I'm the one who kept yelling "I Am A Child" (from your Buffalo days) in Atlanta in about 1996.

Love you and take care.

At 2/09/2007 11:36:00 AM, Brad Ctibor said...: Hey my friends. I feel Neil really pussed out immediately after 911 and just fell back on his Reagen era "sensibilities" (he was a Reagen supporter/fan). Five years later he finally re-found his Cortez/Goldrush/Campaigner balls. However, on Sept. 12 2001 I/we went staright to work on what we dubbed OHIO 2001, in part, because we were so upset with Neil's MIA anti-911 "revenge" status that we wanted to protest his absence by "stealing" "his" song, modifying it to fit the 911/Afghanistan/Iraq catastrophe, and reflecting back to him his aging, yuppified, millionaire, group think hypocrisy. Please check OHIO 2001 out at www.sfclubguide.com/bradctibor.com and/or at www.myspace.com/bradctibor and get back to the 60's idealism, a time before Neil wore Armani, owned model train corporations, and accused his fans of stealing "his" music off of NAPSTER.

Peace,

Brad
At 2/12/2007 01:46:00 PM, Anonymous said...: Hi, Thanks for having this site.
It's really Great!!!
I want to Know if anyone remembers seeing Neil's film THROUGH THE PAST
and if the concert footage of Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y, and
early Neil live is worth purchasing on Ebay. I'm sure it is a copy from VHS. I'm mostly wanting
the live footage, since I,ve heard
the rest is a bit strange.
PLEASE someone out there advise me.
Many Thanks, Mick Marino
At 2/23/2007 01:47:00 AM, NY fan since early 70's said...: Being nominated for a Grammy was confirmation that Neil had sunk into the deepest pit of his checkered career with his laughably sophomoric "Living with War". I just hope he climbs out into the sunlight soon and stops diluting his art and his goodwill with such infantile drivel. His mass release of his classic concert material is a good start. A re-release of "Time Fades Away" on CD would help. How can he still be embarrassed about that fine work after agressively foisting "Living with War" on us?

At 3/24/2007 02:08:00 PM, David Lorsch said...: Just got back from my local mall 03/24/07 with Neil’s latest, Massy Hall 1971. I am watching the DVD wow !!!!!!! Take about bringing back dusty memories !!!!!!! I am 54 this year and was born and raised in Toronto and have always be a big fan of Neil Young from day one. There are many songs that made there debut at that concert re “ old man “ that went on to be mega hits. Its neat to see the audiences’ reaction to these new songs re 1971.

Could not think of a better way to spend my Saturday afternoon!!!!!!

Neil is a musical genius and has given us so much of his talent over the years.

Thanks for the memories and being part of my teenage years and to date.

At 5/15/2007 02:10:00 PM, Heather Duvall said...: Neil Young avidly supports the Bridge School in San Fran (his son was a student there). My son recently applied and was accepted at the school for their summer camp. Now they have taken their acceptance back, saying that they can't accomodate for his medical issues. The only accomodation I am asking for is that they ALLOW him to stay in a hotel overnight (near the camp) where sufficient plug ins are available for all his overnight medical equipment. I am arranging it and paying for it, along with a private nurse. I can't believe Neil would support a place that pretends to be inclusive, yet is being so discrimitory towards a boy who just wants to learn to communicate, but can't because of his medical issues standing in the way.
At 5/23/2007 04:41:00 PM, Anonymous said...: I for one would like to see Neil put out the live at The Rainbow concert from the Tonight's The Night tour in 1973 before he releases The Archives vol.1.I've heard the Lyceum concert from that tour and it is PHENOMANOL.He says The Rainbow concert is REALLY good.And I believe it.Just one man's opinion but I think that would be great.
At 5/25/2007 01:39:00 PM, Anonymous said...: Hello Waterface.It's me anonymous...again.Once again I'd like to say that it would be great if Neil released the Rainbow '73 concert before he releases the Archives vol.1 set.Last I heard vol.1 was supposed to come out in the Fall of this year.Which could mean anywhere from Oct.-Nov. right?Wouldn't it be sweet if Rainbow '73 came out sometime in the summer?!I just love Tonight's The Night.And like I said before that Lyceum concert from that tour is just AWESOME.It does beat the album.And you hardly see or hear any documentation from that tour.I just love the whole package.The music,vibe,feelin' and stage show with all the trinkets and stuff really "Mellow My Mind."When I first heard and really got into TTN was back in '95-'96.I know it might sound strange but that album helped to get me through some rough emotional times.Well one can only hope.Take care y'all.

At 7/09/2007 11:48:00 PM, Anonymous said...: OK, I'll just say that I love Neil young's music and voice so much. The best concert I ever saw was a Neil Young concert, which I've already mentioned here (the one where me and my two best friends got in at the last minute by some strange, beautiful synchronicity, or maybe just the cluelessness of Bon Jovi fans!). I grew up on Neil and Bob. I used to listen to Bob's more popular stuff before delving deeper into his music as I got older. I'm doing the same now with Neil. Just looking at this site I know there is so much I've missed out on, so I've got to get moving! I'm so proud of the young ones here who find inspiration in great art and know good music when they hear it. I wish you all the best with your musical dreams. Bring it on.
At 7/11/2007 12:17:00 PM, Karolina said...: As a Canadian, I am proud of what Neil is doing. Not only with his music, but also with his involvement in bettering our world. When I go on road trips through Ontario, I bring my Neil Young CDs to listen to because the music makes everything fit together; it makes me feel more Canadian. I am getting married in September, and I was thrilled when my fiance proposed we dance our first dance to Harvest Moon. Now if only Neil didn't have to be in New York the next day!

At 10/07/2007 07:53:00 AM, tuned4life said...: I am 9 years younger than Neil. I have been a fan since the Buffalo Sprigfield era. I went to Woodstock at age 15 to see him up close. With the rain, Lack of food or shelter, broken glass, the electric coolaid, I am lucky I survived. Ever since hearing the 4way street version of "Southern Man" I have been one of the faithful. I have bought every one of his albums the first day they were released since 1969. To date I have attended 26 of his concerts. I was fortune to be able to attend 3 of the Greendale shows and 3 of the Freedom of Speech shows. I don't drive new cars, or play golf so I have been able to pay the price for front row seats. I paid 999.99 for Massey Hall second row seats. Say what you want about scalpers but if not for them I would have missed out on some of the most enjoyable experiances of my life. I enjoy every concert like it might be the last time. 20 years sober, and a sentimental old fool, I feel like Neil and I are old friends. Because I have had alot of front row seats and bear an uncanny resemblance to David Crosby Neil recognises me as someone he has seen before. I am going to attend 3 of the Chrome Dreams concerts and enjoy every minute. I am greatful for my life and I salute Neil for his. Tuned4life

Neil has some very talented fans by the way. Some of the reviews are pieces of art themselves! Neil inspires such greatness I suppose! Anyway, thanks everyone. And thanks Neil.

At 11/17/2007 06:31:00 AM, Anonymous said...: I'm broken-hearted.
I've been waiting patiently for a long time for Neil to come to Buffalo.
The tickets go on sale and get bought up by the ticket brokers.
Now the tickets are going for $250 to $300 instead of the face value of $89 to $132.
The ticket brokers are nothing but high tech scalpers and do nothing but take money out of the fans pockets.
I'm sure none of this money goes to the artists.
This is a scourge to me and should be to any of the faithful music who have been going to concerts such as I have been for more than 30 years.
I wonder of the promoters and managers of Neil's tour know about this problem?

Thanks.

I came across your blog while posting locally on all the feelings/emotion that came about due to the Prairie Wind concert. Here's a link to it- http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/Sooz58/17991 . Me? F, 49, electrician living in Bakersfield, CA. From Seattle Washington (near Canada, lol) originally. Buck Owens was right though some folks (like me) fall in love with Bakersfield right from the start.
Keep on rocking, and blogging! Sooz

I went to both shows in Chicago last month. I bought 6 tickets through ticketmaster. I have not received the
Chrome Dream II cd's which were promised (one cd for every two tickets purchased). Ticketmaster keeps promising to straighten things
out, but so far it's been all talk no action. Has anybody else had this problem? I paid over $600 and though the shows were great, I feel ripped off (even more than usual)
by those ticketbastards. I finally went out and bought a copy of Chrome Dreams.

I was astonished. From 19 months to 99 years, the man has some fans! I couldn't be happier or more proud.

At 1/02/2008 12:26:00 PM, ron e. said...: I have completed a book of poem from my life's lessons that I am sure Neil and all his fans would enjoy and most certainly relate to. My book which is on Amazon is titled" experience,strength and hope"poems of lifes lessons. http://www.amazon.com/experience-strength-hope-poems-lessons/dp/1932279857/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199291089&sr=1-4 I was hoping he would read it and give me his feed back. It is my first book and his and any of his fans comments would mean the world to me and all potential readers suffering from similar diseases. If possible could you provide me with an address that I can send a copy of the book for Neil to read ? Much thanks Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and all your families. Sincerely Ronald J. Edwards

At 2/26/2008 11:36:00 PM, Ken B said...: Does anyone know if there is sheet music available for the song, "Journey Through The Past"? I first heard it on the Live At Massey Hall CD, and love it/would like to learn it on piano.

Saw first two New York shows, 2 in Manchester and the last in London - all had something great but the best was Cortez in New York when he broke 'Old Black's' strings!! A close second was the second night in Manchester - sublime in every way. only regret - I did not see him perform Flying on the Ground. Maybe at Hop Farm in the summer?
Now I can be calm!

At 3/27/2008 01:46:00 AM, Ray S. said...: I am not sure - Mike Catchmore - who was Neil's nemesis at Kelvin High School in Winnipeg
Catchmore was the gym teacher , who dislked everyone , but most of all Neil. We did not even have a gym at Kelvin - just an auditorium
Catchmore taunted Neil repeatedly with " You will never amount to anything"
From some sources that are reputable but that I cannot confirm is that Mike Catchmore passed away several months ago
Anyone have any additional information ?
