New:

"Chrome Dreams II": Material culled from a pair of Neil Young solo concerts at Toronto's Massey Hall almost 36 years ago...

 

Crosby Stills Nash & Young


Woodstock - 1969 (1994)

DVD

The three-day Woodstock music festival in 1969 was the pivotal event of the 1960s peace movement, and this landmark concert film is the definitive record of that milestone of rock & roll history. It's more than a chronicle of the hippie movement...

 

 

 

Live Aid - 1985 (2004)

DVD

Billed as "the day music changed history," the Live Aid concerts of July 13, 1985, were held to raise money to fight the horrifying famines sweeping Africa. The brainchild of Bob Geldof and representing the efforts of countless musicians and technicians, Live Aid was a genuine and inspiring effort.

 

 

Crosby Stills & Nash 


Daylight Again
(1983)

DVD

You will rarely find a CSN set list so comprehensive, top notch and extensive...21 songs spanning 110 minutes and covering their entire catalogue...Of the 21 songs, at most 3 could be considered "fillers", and the rest are all amongst their classics-- including somewhat rare performances of "Chicago", "You Don't Have To Cry", and the Beatles' "Blackbird", the latter two done acoustically with just Stills' career-best guitar work.

 

 

Crosby Stills Nash - Acoustic (2004) TIP 

DVD

Filmed at San Francisco's Warfield Theater in November, 1991, this concert film features the legendary Crosby, Stills & Nash performing stripped-down version of over a dozen of their best-loved songs. Among the tunes included on the set list are "Just a Song Before I Go," "For What It's Worth," "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," and "Teach Your Children."
Definitely, a purchase worth making.

 

 

Long Time Comin' (1990)

DVD

Long Time Comin' is a 1990 documentary summing up the first 20 years of Crosby Stills and Nash that was re-issued on DVD in 2004. What makes it different from most documentaries is that it simply tells the band's story through their music and some interview snippets, without any narration -- which is also probably its strength, as very few bands have been able to produce such powerful music.

 

 

CSN: The DVDs (2004) TIP

DVD

Captured in this exclusive collector's edition 3-DVD set are three highly anticipated Crosby, Still & Nash masterpieces. Acoustic brings to life a unique concert DVD of CSN's greatest hits, filmed live at San Francisco's Warfield Theater in November 1991. Daylight Again showcases the trio in an engaging live performance recorded on the heels of their album of the same name; filmed live in 1983 at L.A.'s Universal Amphitheater, Daylight is a true testament to the staying power of one of America's most enduring bands. Long Time Comin' is the never-before-released DVD documentary of CSN's unforgettable 30-plus years together with a nostalgic musical and visual retrospective.

 

 

 

Woodstock - 1999 (1999)

DVD

For all but the most apathetic viewers, this concert souvenir is enjoyable in inverse proportion to familiarity with the real-life Woodstock '99 festival: the less you know about the hour-to-hour experiences of the audience and the event's violent denouement, the more you can enjoy the show....

 

 

Stephen Stills


Supershow 
(2003)

DVD


The pairings of Steve Stills with Cream bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Buddy Miles, plus Eric Clapton with bluesman Buddy Guy and jazz saxophonist Roland Kirk, are the attraction of this so-called "last great jam of the '60s," recorded in '69 (we're not told where). 

 

 

 

Stephen Stills & Manassas (2005)

DVD

If you dig Stephen Stills, you need this DVD. The sound quality is great, the graphics are killer, and the band flat out rips. Manassas rolls through side one of their debut album and Stills' performance makes you realize how incredible he really is.

 

 

 

Neil Young


Rust Never Sleeps
(1978)
TIP

DVD

Neil Young's 1978 concert tour, documented in this acclaimed two-hour film that was directed by Young himself (using the pseudonym Bernard Shakey), is a treat for the singer-songwriter's fans. The concept of the show is high (for Young, anyway), if rather odd: roadies (here called "Road Eyes") decked out like the Tusken Raiders from Star Wars, stage announcements from the original Woodstock during set changes, and giant amps, microphones, and so on for an "Incredible Shrinking Man" effect.

 

 

The Last Waltz  (1978) 

Video
• NTSC format
• Color, HiFi Sound

Martin Scorsese's 1978 capsule history of the Band is mixed with footage of the group's allegedly last performance (certainly their last performance as a quintet) in this particularly stylish concert film.

 

 

 

Human Highway (1982)

Video
• NTSC format
• Color, HiFi Sound

Though apparently mistaken for an incomprehensible tribute to cult idiocy, HUMAN HIGHWAY was a time piece with the appropriate foolishness of contemporary culture. 1982 was thought at the time to be the height of the Cold War, and the Reagan administration was matched in stupidity only by the social "administration" of the diner in HUMAN HIGHWAY

 

 

 

In Berlin (1986)

DVD

Neil Young has never been one to eschew change, and this 1983 concert certainly found him in a transitional mode. Recently signed to Geffen Records (who would later sue him for producing work they deemed insufficiently commercial), he had released Trans, an album that, with its computerized tracks and electronically altered vocals, remains one of the oddest (and more underrated) in his entire catalog.

 

 

 

Weld (1991)

DVD

Neil Young's biorhythms have led him to the brutal crucible of Crazy Horse every so often since his second solo album, giving him the opportunity to, um, weld chaos and familiarity into a precarious ritual that perhaps the Who, more than anyone, best understand. This concert video, compiled from snatches of performance shot during a long tour somewhere around 1990, is the visual accompaniment to a double-CD package (also called Weld) of live material released in 1991.

 

 

 

Weld (1991)

Video
• NTSC format
• Color, HiFi Sound

This is the video to go with the "Weld" CD. It has the same songs as the 2 CD-set except the classic "Like A Hurricane" and "Farmer John" - it does have an interesting introduction featuring the infamous Roadas (roadies dressed as Jawas) as Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner is played.

The album features many classic Neil tunes such as "Hey Hey My My", "Welfare Mothers", "Cortez The Killer", "Powderfinger", "Tonight's The Night" and "Roll another Number for The Road". There are also newer classics such as the ultimate rendition of "Rockin' In The Free World" (forget Pearl Jam's!)

 

 

 

Ragged Glory (1991)

Video
• NTSC format
• Color, HiFi Sound

A must have for any die-hard Neil Young / Crazy Horse fan! Collection of videos that I had never seen before, professionally firmed, from the Ragged Glory album. Includes Piece of Crap, Love and Only Love, Mansion on the Hill (2 versions) and Country Home. Good video, just know that this is a short, 30 minute collection of videos only!

 

 

 

Unplugged (1993)

Video
• NTSC format
• Color, HiFi Sound

This video is a perfect example of why Neil Young has survived 3 decades at the top of the music industry; timeless classics ranging from his Buffalo Springfield days with "Mr. Soul", to his more recent "Harvest Moon". It is truly an essential for any Neil Young fan.

 

 

 

Year of the horse (1997)

DVD

Jim Jarmusch's low-tech tribute to the 30-year-old collaboration between grunge godfather Neil Young and his favorite garage band, Crazy Horse, is both a quirky little movie and a monument to one of rock & roll's greatest noisemakers. Partially culled from some gritty archival material shot in 1976 and 1986, and supplemented by lots of super-8 footage of Young and Crazy Horse between shows while on a concert tour (the concert footage itself appears to be shot on 16mm), Year of the Horse is very much like one of the band's paradoxical performances: epic but transitory, ragged but direct, focused but improvisational. Jarmusch understands Crazy Horse and its quixotic musical quest too well to embalm them in a conventional profile-and-performance "rockumentary." Instead, he honors the off-and-on marriage of Young and the others by treating the various chapters of their lives together as shadows in time, fleeting glimpses of a brotherhood that has no secrets.

 

 

 

Year Of The Horse/Sleeps With Angels 

DVD/CD (2 Pack)

 

  

 

Silver & Gold (2000)

DVD

If you live long enough with a rock & roll heart, you find that dreams occasionally come true. One of the oldest dreams for many Neil Young fans has been that the prodigious folk-rocker would somehow find his way back--even once--to the youthful, bruised majesty of his epochal 1970 album, After the Gold Rush. Silver & Gold comes very close to evoking the same dreamy suggestiveness as that first solo masterpiece in Young's long career, but, for obvious reasons, from an autumnal perspective.

 

 

 

Red Rocks (2000)

DVD

This version of Cowgirl In The Sand is according to many fans, arguably one of the best Neil Young Performances (especially a non Crazy Horse performance) ever. It is at the Red Rocks which makes the setting awesome but it begins to rain, seeing him playing in the wind with the rain pouring down is just awesome. That one performance is worth the price, but in addition you get countless others including Powderfinger, great version of Mellow My Mind, among others.

 

 

 

Farm Aid 2001 (2001)

DVD

Held just 18 days after the September 11th attacks, Farm Aid 2001, A Concert for America, celebrated the solidarity, innovation, and hard work of family farmers in keeping America strong. Farm Aid was founded in 1985 by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Neil Young to raise public awareness about the plight of the American family farmer and to provide assistance to those families whose livelihood depends on agriculture. 

 

 

 

Greendale (2004)

DVD

Cinematographer, occasional film director, and, yes, longtime rock star Neil Young personally made (under the silly pseudonym Bernard Shakey) the fascinating, strangely affecting, and feature-length experiment Greendale as an after-the-fact movie to accompany his CD of the same name.

 

  

 

Freedom Alive (2005)

DVD

 

 

 

Heart of Gold (2005) TIP

DVD

"I just want to play well, share the stage with my friends, give the best I can," says Neil Young before the concert that is the centerpiece of Heart of Gold. No problem, dude. Working with filmmaker Jonathan Demme, Young has come up with a gem--not all flash and bling-bling, but as understated as a single pearl, musically restrained yet emotionally open. Of course, neither Demme (an Oscar winner for The Silence of the Lambs; he also helmed Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense) nor Young would call it "a concert film"; the director describes it as "a dream concert, something that's literally being dreamt by Neil," while the singer-songwriter himself calls it "a multi-level story."

 

 

 

Neil Young - Under Review 1966-1975 (2006)

DVD

Neil Young – Under Review 1966 – 1975 is a documentary film reviewing the music and career of one of rock’s true giants during his formative and most creative years. Featuring musical performances of Neil Young, reviewed by a team of esteemed experts, Obscure footage, rare interviews and rarely seen photographs of and with Neil. 

 

 

 

Living with War - Raw (2006  - SPECIAL EDITION) 

DVD/CD

For this raw limited-edition CD+DVD version of Living With War, the critically acclaimed original album, Neil Young strips away the choir, ratchets up the guitars and blasts away with all the passion and volume worth of one of rock's greatest singer-songwriters. In addition, packaged with the new audio CD is a DVD featuring video clips documenting the recording sessions for each of the 10 songs on the album (which is also presented with new artwork). With this Living With War, Neil Young is once again rockin' the free world.

 

 

 

Live at Massey Hall (2007) TIP

DVD/CD

Material culled from a pair of Neil Young solo concerts at Toronto's Massey Hall almost 36 years ago. The collection will feature renditions of Ohio, I Am a Child, The Needle and the Damage Done, and Old Man. Previously available in bootleg form as Going Back to Canada, the live album captures an enigmatic singer-songwriter at his career's early creative peak.

 

 

"Chrome Dreams II" (2007)

DVD/CD

Enjoying one of the most prolific periods of his phenomenal career, Neil Young (sans Crazy Horse) delivers "Chrome Dreams II". Hard but shiny, acoustic but also electric, Chrome Dreams II continues the new millennium resurgence in popularity for one of the greatest singer-songwriters in rock history.
