Live - The World of Neil Young
Comment:
Perhaps no other pop star of such magnitude has ever exhibited onstage musical schizophrenia on Neil Young's scale; the man shifts back-and-forth between acoustic sensitivity and electric pandemonium seemingly at whim . . . if not at random. While our accompanying [i]Electric[/i] live playlist will acquaint you with Neil's inner Tasmanian Devil, we cast a (soft) light on his quieter, gentler side. Stripped of the soaring psychedelic orchestration that Jack Nitzsche penned to back Buffalo Springfield's studio version, "Expecting to Fly (Live)" morphs into a dreamy stream of consciousness on the recently released [i]Sugar Mountain - Live At Canterbury House 1968[/i]. Without Crosby, Stills & Nash in vocal support, the [i]Live At Massey Hall 1971[/i] version of "Helpless" comes across as emotionally naked and eggshell-fragile in a way the original doesn't. And on [i]Live Rust[/i], his most successful concert album (and film) ever, Neil lays down rock's ultimate, unfulfillable promise — that it's here to stay — in "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)," the acoustic half of a matched pair of songs that concludes in our [i]Electric[/i] set.
