Brilliant performance

Neil Young has long been famous both as a master of the acoustic set and as a chameleon who has dipped into just about every other musical style you can name. In this set, he includes some tunes that were already pretty non-electric, but he also transforms some of his previous material radically. The electronic "Transformer Man" is nearly unrecognizable here, but--for my money anyway--superior to the studio version. The only problem with this collection is that it wasn't a two-disk set. Nevertheless, Neil puts together an interesting sampling of his long career, including such well-known numbers as "Like a Hurricane," "Pocahontas," and "Helpless," but also lesser-known gems like "Stringman" and the aforementioned "Transformer Man."

The Brilliance of Depression

This album is probably the best acoustic performance Neil has done in awhile. Everyone knows this is a great album. I just want to clarify that the version of "Mr. Soul" on this album is the way he ORIGINALLY wrote it. He did not remake this song...the Buffalo did that in the 60's. So there's a little more incentive for you to buy this record.

Unique Artist..That's for Sure!

Neil doesn't disappoint. I would love to see him in concert and do the national anthem Hendrix-style. That would be interesting.
From "Mr. Soul" to "Hurricane" this is a great collection!

Alot of us in our 40's are still very fond of Neil.
