So you've all seen Neil Young's Heart of Gold (DVD - 2006) right?

[hal]

Just watched it again - astonishingly good

First performance after after very dangerous brain surgery. The choice of songs, the collection of musicians are a clearly sings of a guy looking back on his life and reflecting. All of the musicians poor their hearts out in this performance in Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. No expense was spared - horn sections, choir singing backup when required - even sweeping with a mic'ed up broom for effect.

This isn't the rock n roll Neil, it's the Canadian country bumpkin Neil at his very, very best.

Looks like it's out of print - pick it up while it's still plentiful...

Directed by Jonathan Demme (Stop Making Sense, The Silence of the Lambs)

I have not seen it, but would like to. I developed a true fondness for Neil in the last couple of years. I always liked him, but now I listen to him at least weekly.

There is a Video with Eddie Vedder, and Neil Young (maybe Pearl Jam), and you can see what a good time they had with Neil and how in awe of him everyone is.

I agree, it's a wonderful. One of the very best concert films ever. Neil is a treasure!

It's very good. Get it on a Netflix free 2 week trial if you don't want to spend bucks on it.

This.... I agree with. (tu)

Demme's directed two more concert films for Neil which should come out in the next year.

One of Neil's best, most overlooked songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmaCQ4-2T5I

5 stars.

I'm sure Neil was honored to perform with Eddie as well.
