Neil Young: Citizen Kane Junior Blues 1974
FANTASTIC!!
Live at the Bottom Line, New York, May 16 1974
from bigozine.com
The word is that Neil Young, who was at the Bottom Line in New York on May 16, 1974 to see Ry Cooder, was so inspired that he did a special one-hour acoustic guest set after Cooder.
And this is what the Doc posted on the internet:
"Neil did not tour as a solo act during 1974 (he did a brief tour with CSNY), and therefore his excellent On The Beach stuff doesn't show up on many bootlegs. This (is) an all-acoustic show featuring Neil performing solo during his supposedly "depressed" period (after the OD deaths of his guitarist and roadie) between On The Beach and Tonight's The Night. Can't tell he's depressed here - he's friendly and talkative and doesn't even get upset when a few members of the small crowd yell for Southern Man - instead he tells a funny story about the same thing happening in LA. What really makes this one stand out, besides the happy/chatty Neil is the setlist, which includes some rare appearances of a few songs from the aforementioned NY album On The Beach, including Motion Pictures, Revolution Blues, On The Beach,and the quintessential Neil tune Ambulance Blues.
"With the exception of Helpless, all of the songs were unreleased at the time of this performance, making for some interesting first impressions by the crowd. On The Beach is the backdrop for this recording, with four of its songs performed live. Renditions of Pardon My Heart, Long May You Run, Roll Another Number and Flying On The Ground Is Wrong" (recorded in a 1970 Carnegie Hall performance) round out the songs. This has been called a SBD, but it is clearly not - some distance between the mic and Neil is apparent; however, it is a quality audience tape, with Neil's guitar/harmonica and voice all clear."

This is as you say, a fascinating setlist, LK. Also of interest are the inclusion of Pardon My Heart and Long May You Run which did not appear on record until 1975 and 1976. On The Beach is my favourite Neil Young album after the classic first four. I know that the mood on it is still rather bleak (following the previously recorded Tonight's The Night)- but I always think that I can see a few rays of hope in there as well..and the songs of course, are absolutely first rate.
Come to think of it there were four truly remarkable albums from songwriters on your side of the pond in 1974:
1. Neil Young On The Beach
2. Gene Clark No Other
3. Joni Mitchell Court And Spark
4. Bob Dylan Blood On The Tracks - I know that some count this last one as a 1975 release. |
