I checked out the Neil Young box as well and it doesn't begin to compare to Dylans bootleg series.I look forward to the next part of Neil Youngs backlog as it is my favorite era.I hope they do without all the previously released material.As far as live stuff goes I'd like to hear a show where Neil is wasted and borders on falling apart.What other kind of live performance is there that he hasn't already released? From what I've heard and read of Neil Young I wouldn't label him a "teetotaller" but on the other hand he always seemed to have things pretty well under control. Somewhere in Jimmy McDonough bio, SHAKEY it is mentioned that Young once passed out from exhaustion while working very, very hard on a tour, but not from being wasted. An album of wasted falling down Neil Young would be both unlikely and, well, a waste. Was Tonights The Night a waste? I don't mean something like Live & Drunk by the Mats.Neil is a perfectionist,but he seems to get caught up in what he's writing at any particular time,like he's method acting.I would just like to hear something besides a folkie set or a stadium rock set.Something like Time Fades Away with a little Tonights The Night vibe.Maybe wasted was the wrong word,I should have said lit. |

Sorry, Dee, I may have misunderstood. I was rather distracted by the term "wasted". Too California for me (and that's where I'm from.) "Tonight's the Night" is an amazing album. Also, very cool that you acknowledged "Time fades Away". I always thought that album was under-rated. Yes, something live between the folkie and the stadium rock would be great. Maybe throw in some stuff from "On the Beach" as well. About 9 or 10 years ago I sat in a tree in a park next to Shoreline Amphatheatre in Mountain View, CA and listened to a show that might have been close to what you're looking for. |

Whenever I see this title I read Middle Age Resistance.
I like it better that way.

I'd say that at sixty, the chase is over... and don't dare sing the "die before I get old" line from My Generation. |

I think at 50 Paul can stop chasing. He's pretty much caught it.
I read in a magazine (it was Oprah's. Yes, I read O. Shut up.) that true "middle age" is around 37-38, though no one I know my age calls herself middle aged.
By the way, the title of this thread makes me wish Paul would cover "Middle Aged Crazy."

If late 30's is middle aged, I'd better find me a rocking chair and rock 'till I'm young again. "Middle Aged Crazy" sounds familiar. By whom? No problem with "O" or Oprah. I'd vote for her. |

Jerry Lee Lewis Ah yes, Jerry Lee! The only problem with the EODD diet video- that photo of the chocolate cake with cherries on top sent me running to the kitchen! Even worse... no cake! |

I could definitely hear PW doing Middle Aged Crazy. 39 and Holding(JLL, again) would do it for me too. The Killer really kicks ass. I've always suspected that's where PW's cigar fetish comes from.
