Neil Young - Road of Plenty (Eldorado)

[krajgeo]

this is great exelent

[Sonicgardener]

What a ripping, shredding, guitar crunching song!! Long live Neil Young! GENIUS AT WORK!

[toupretno1]

What a great tune ...Played accoustic on mini album Eldorado thats the songs official name it came out around 1989 after he toured with his band at the time called The Restless.The mini album 5 tracks was only released in Australia origionally because allegedly Neil Youngs record company did not like his really heavy sound he started to experiment with and the album he gave them called Times Square.which had all the Eldorado tunes plus others on it .They were mistaken though

Tried learnin how to sing and play this song on guitar.......crazy ass wierd strumming pattern and strange singing kicking my ass

[burpy1000]

Brokenarrow Thank you for the song - MF.

[screwingupawetdream]

it was only played in this arrangement in 1986 and possibly 87...not later. yes they sounded this good, don't be so surprised. viva crazy horse!

[screwingupawetdream]

righteous...' they all were dancing til they took the beat away'

[Kapiszczur]

For all Old man - You don't know how to dance, your football was slow and borring. You had a shit taste 'bout clothes..your movies - epic or bottom. Cars? Some legend, some rusting piece of junk...But Your music? I don't know how and why...

There is no way for any of generation to even match with the perfection of old music. Peace of soul, kingdom of heaven...Neil Young forever.

[zumadiane]

unbelievable neil song. i could listen to this one all day long.

[rustyblack1a]

usa tour 1986 mansfield 86

[wellspout]

purely from sound of it, early 90's cause it's got the maturity and monumental punch and characteristics of this band in what seems to me as their golden decade. crazy horse where are you?

[EvangelineEvangeline]

Dig this!

[burritodlx]

Correction..... I meant castanets!!! Where are the Castanets!?!?!?!?! :-)

[burritodlx]

Where are the maracas!?!?!?! :-)

[BDSKATER]

Neil Young sucks dick

[philruddrocks]

@BDSKATER you suck dick!!!!

[CrosbyStillsNashYoun]

@BDSKATER Yeah, and I heard Jack White likes a good teabagging

[p1ippers]

hey thanks for the music, no video no problem!!

[curiousgeorge555]

I had to come back for another listen. I love the arangement of intruments here. Love the rhythm guitar work. Adds an entire demension that the version I have up on my channel doesn't have. This is my favorite version. Hey but neil is Neil and 99% of the music he does is off the charts. A cherished gift to the world he is. ~cg

[guyglowmore1]

love the freedom version. this is great too. amazing how nielistic he is when transforming.

such fun creative genius. nihilistique. i think the lyrics on the orig are more succinct and powerful. the music more precise. both are good to dance to or jam with or just dream and pretend your niel. fred neal

[howseth]

I am glad you posted this: who made better live rock recordings in the late 1970's and 80's than Neil Young and Crazy Horse?

[dogmunch]

no one! and the fact hey were a bunch of hippies.. most of those dudes from that era just gave up or blew it !

[zumadiane]

fabulous stuff! neil is god.

[wellspout]

way better

[snellular5]

This is an amazinggg version!!

[benskiboy]

I'm glad it wasn't on life to be honest... it'd have been messy, with the awful production that ruined said album (take around the world for example)... I'm hoping that the archives #3 might include some live stuff like this.

still, rockin version and a crunching riff, awesome

[Gollumfish]

geil geil geil so was nenne ich mal rock das ist eifach nur geil

i love it

neil young du machst die best music of world

[StampedeBull]

This blows the Freedom Version (Transformation if you will) out of the fucking Water. Holy Smoke, this fuckin ROCKS.

[astrololee]

Road Of Plenty should have made it on the "Life" Album in 1987 but did not. The tune emerged then on 'Freedom' in 1989 as Eldorado with differing words. On Road of Plenty the 5th & 6th verses became the 2nd & 4th verses in Eldorado. I prefer the more dramatic musical in Eldorado however both are great songs. Thanks BrokenArrow24 for uploading these rare tunes.

[boearrow]

Great song! Great version. I heard this once.

[DocVuDu]

just a real gift to come across this just now. thank you

[gigistrato]

Strange version knowing the one in freedom....nice surprise.

[dogmunch]

BANGIN'!

[BrokenArrow24]

Changed info for this song. You're right, it cant be 1991. Dont remember, from which compilation i got the recording, but I just took the existing labeling. Which turned out to be wrong ;).

Well, this still doestn turn this gem into BS. ;)

[rob2508]

i think this one is on rock 'n roll cowboy, disc 4, great....

[silvanski]

.. which is an Italian bootleg if I recall

[gregrchstr]

This is from the '86 tour. I have a few boots from that tour. This could be from the Mansfield, Mass., or the Minneapolis show.

[SoVerySappy]

a very cool outtake from Eldorado. thanks

[wellspout]

a best song most people have not even heard...

[accordionreid]

Rockin' in the Free World Album should be listened to by every one before they die.

[GordonMorrice]

The Amsterdam '89 performance of "Eldorado" is here on You Tube:

[Veggies73]

The setlist from '91 in Minneapolis does not show this song as having been performed. How do you know this is the source? It sounds like the '91 Old Black, but perhaps it is just a very high quality recording from the '86 tour (which have the only known performances of this song).

I'm tempted to call BS and say this is a mislabeled '86 performance.

[GordonMorrice]

17th October, 1986, Met Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota?

[pizzacat311]

This is BS. The only time Neil ever played "Road of Plenty" was during the 86'-87' tours during the time he was touring "Life". 91' when he was finishing touring "Ragged Glory" and had started his solo acoustic tour for "Harvest Moon".

[wellspout]

... merely italicizing: where the frickin' L is crazy horse, swept under the rug?, nary a word i've heard, of what went down? love nashville cats mostly on euro leg, but really miss both barrels only neil w/crazy horse can deliver live...

[1custom1234]

first time hearing this and i've been hearin Niel for 40 years! awesome tune!

[gatorschaf]

@1custom1234 4x10 where you been in hole?

[LIVERUST]

This rules, POLITICS ASIDE THERE NEILER.

[Ulfinho13]

Hey, danke fürs Posten! Sehr geile Aufnahme!

Man liest sich ;)

[boflynn78]

Thank you so much for posting this

[andrewnielsen]

This is not on my copy of Eldorado, but of course sounds just like a track that is. Anybody know whats the story with the song? Much appreciated.

[Yippykiyay505]

Neil reunited with Buffalo Springfield in 1986 and they were working on this song. There was a home video of it with pretty bad picture quality but it was still cool to see. It was on YouTube for a while. When nothing happened with Buffalo Springfield, Neil took this song on the road with Crazy Horse but it was never released until it ended up as "Eldorado" on the album Freedom. There's a great live solo acoustic version of "Eldorado" on a popular Amsterdam 1989 bootleg.

[samaowpasta]

Ford Mustang.. high an drunk. 60mph.. best friend in car, driving down that road..listening to this song.

[curiousgeorge555]

I DUNNO. I JUST LISTENED TO THAT AGAIN. IT IS INSANELEY GOOD!

Sorry 'bout the caps.

[curiousgeorge555]

Love it! Great raw Neil and the Horse. I think I'll stick an accoustic version of Eldorado up soon. I think you will enjoy it a lot.

[apfelsiene]

[jocovo84]
