    Never seen Neil Young on concert, I was not going to see it, Neil Young tickets got sky rocked thanks to stupid brokers. But even if I had seen it, I wouldn't buy it. I'd rather wait and see it on DVD. Well suprise I changed my mind and I got 2 tix for the Neil Young show I was looking for tickets thanks god there sites like Ticketwood which work as comparators here is the site
    Neil Young Tickets http://www.ticketwood.com/concerts/Neil-Young-Tickets/index.php . So any body going to the Neil Young concert ??

    I had the pleasure of seeing Neil and the Horse at the Gorge in 1996, and it was a fantastic evening. I haven't seen Neil play since then, and had I been paying any attention at all that he was in Boise, ID I might have tried to get a ticket and driven the 2 1/2 hours to see him play. I LOVE the Heart of Gold movie, and if any of the live stuff nowadays approaches the quality of that, I'd be in heaven if given the chance to see it.

    I didn't know there were links between Neil and Richard Thompson. I am a fan of Thompson's live stuff, and his site puts out a very, very good live disc called "Semi-Detached Mock Tudor" that I think is worth every cent if you like that kind of stuff!

    That's a great list you posted. I would have to say that at least half of the artists on that list would qualify in my "favorites" category!
