This was the greatest band that I have ever played with

“Ain’t singing for Pepsi, Ain’t singing for Coke, Ain’t sining for nobody make me look like a joke”.

Hollywood,CA(Hollywood Today)6/30/11/—Neil has always been a non conformist, in response to the pressure, Young split town, fired his Hollywood booking agent, and headed to Nashville. There he found himself a hell of a support crew, built around pedal steel player Ben Keith and fiddler Rufus Thibodeaux, and hooked up with Waylon Jennings’ agent, who put the band on the state fair circuit. By all accounts, the change of venue suited Young just fine. One of the tracks on A Treasure was recorded at Gilley’s Rodeo Arena in Pasadena, TX, a show at which Young was reported to have surveyed the rickety wooden stage, suspended ten feet in the air over a massive pile of horse shit, and marvelled, “Sure beats playin’ to a bunch of fuckin’ hippies at the Fillmore!” Young stuck with it and toured the group for a solid year, longer than any of his other genre diversions, though a followup to the 1984 album Old Ways never materialized.

Rolling Stone magazine gave Neil Young  4 stars, according to Andy Greene stated,  Neil Young changed guises at a furious pace in the early Eighties. In 1982, he was making vocoder-slathered New Wave; the following year, he staged a rockabilly revival. Then, in 1984, Young shifted gears toward classic country. Touring with the International Harvesters, an eight-piece group of Nashville pros, Young performed both countryfied versions of his classics and cuts from his 1985 album Old Ways. He also debuted five brand-new tracks that had been shelved until this live album, which cherry-picks from the Harvesters’ gigs. “Amber Jean” is a lovely tribute to his newborn daughter, while “Grey Riders” is a lost epic that suggests Crazy Horse with a twang infusion. The oldies shine too: “Flying on the Ground Is Wrong” sounds as if it originated with the Flying Burrito Brothers instead of Buffalo Springfield.

Just that I got to make a record with these guys,  85 concerts

The real deal this is paying tribute to my friends.
