Neil Young & Crazy Horse: A Band, A Brotherhood, A Barn
As I recall, lot's o' folk here love old Neil. Here is his latest video effort: 1:14:25 of him and the band playing in his barn and talking. Special appearances by his dogs. Lot's of songs about wife Darryl Hanna and even one about his new citizenship. Warning: language.
Old Neil loves to put out the rustic vibe, but Guy Charbonneau's Le Mobile recording truck is at the top of the pack for remote trucks. I've actually been aboard that truck. It features a Neve 8058 console and Studer A800 multitrack as well as ProTools. I spent the first decade of my career recording on a pair of 8058s and an 8024 and know that they are fantastic. So, this production isn't the slightest bit rustic at all, except perhaps for Neil himself and his music. Enjoy! Bob |
Thanks for that, I've been meaning to find it and have a watch/listen.

After all these years I had no idea that Nils Lofgren was so tiny. He makes a Les Paul look like a silly ES-175.

“There is a town in north Ontario…”
That would be Omemee where Neil spent some of his happiest early years. He and wife Daryl just bought a beautiful old place there and are fully restoring it. Meanwhile, the Old Barn is on Daryl’s ranch in Telluride, Colorado. It’s a very good life. |
Yes, thanks, that was great!
|
Bob, thanks a lot for sharing, this is wonderful!
Also, thanks for not overdriving those Neves too much as many did in the old days. This is a fantastic clean and warm sound!!! Love it! Last but not least, congrats! It must be very special to be part of the recording session. |

Except, looking it up, how the heck is that "north Ontario"? Thunder Bay, maybe (although there's a LOT of Ontario north of there), but this Omemee place isn't even north of Ottawa. Anybody from the GWN reading this, please help! |

Good to know. I knew it was someplace high in elevation. I noticed that the bass player, Billy Talbot had those individual bottles of oxygen scattered all around him. |
My favorite part is when Nils plays that solo piano bit, and Neil and I think Billy walk in and comment how pretty and beautiful it sounds.

Thanks for the link, Bob! Was a lot of fun to watch/listen to this...
Nice juxtaposition between the classic amps and guitars and the state-of-the-art recording truck! I especially liked the discussion about "doing another take", and the impact that has on the soul of the song... loved the ""Down by the River" was edited, like, a thousand times" quote form Neil! |
Thanks for sharing. I'll make sure to watch it this weekend.
|
Good movie! I liked it better than Harvest Time.
