[Wankshaftsbury]

Fkin love Neil Young

[yowhatthef]

[clank4001]

Wont see any American Idol offspring makin music like this! Great stuff!

[Sasquatchen]

2:27 EPIC!

[Landotter1]

But not the BITCHY one, a new design, new design!!! but not the GREEDY one, gee the list goes on eh? fellas?

[7thoutof12]

I've been listening to Neil Young forever! What a tallented man...Sample and Hold...is just one more notch on his guitar!

[Dracopol]

The hard-edged quality of the music shines through, whether you call it RAWK or call it 01010010 01000001 01010111 01001011 ...

[Dracopol]

"Oh, to live on Silicon Mountain..." --spoof of Neil Young's change of direction in the DOONESBURY comic-strip.

[MrHilariousUsername]

Trans is actually my favourite Neil Young album lol. If the majority of people hate something I generally find that reason enough to like it.

[JimBlasko]

What was the website to order one or two of these robot woman that Neil was selling in this song? Thanks :-)

[EstoniaKat]

An ode to Caprica Six.

[dodsie9]

RIP 'em up AGAIN BOYZZZZ_SEND ME A UNIT TO HOLD & SAMPLE TOO PLEAZZZEEE!!!! MY LIL GIRL's BUDDIE IS TIRED!!! OXOX MIK

[dodsie9]

[1884LCFC]

One dislike is David Geffen!

[WhyGenFM3]

Trans/Re-ac-tor/Landing on Water... 3 albums frustratingly underrated. In my opinion, all better than Stars'N'Bars, Freedom and a lot of the newer stuff. As for the video... nothing says 'Neil Young' like a totally baffled 80s audience. Love it!!! Now I just want a live, heavy version of Shots...

[TheZoso59]

Neil can do anything!!!

[michaelg74]

eat your heart out Daft Punk

[JakeWarwick2410]

I love this!!

[DOOMWC]

Neil Young's a musical genius.

Geffen Records can suck it!

[mzingg100]

i dont know how i feel about this lol...

[zettapi]

Zetta really likes live performance VERY MUCH an old favorite of mine

[VoiceEncoder]

Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201!!!

[response007]

Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201, NOT the Moog 16-Channel Vocoder that I and others erroneously believed!!!

[VoiceEncoder]

@response007 You're right!! I checked my copy of Dave Tompkin's 'How to Wreck a Nice Beach'!!

[WMDz]

A song that is an advert for a company that sells robot girlfriends. And I thought Neil did do sponsorships. Neil is God, Trans rules!

[seifukusha]

I love it (first time hearing it), but I know back in the 80s when the B.S. fans heard this, they must have wanted to lynch him!

[Ori0n1975]

I love the way he says "ONE ONE OHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh" in this live version better than on the album one.

[flyingfisbeefilms]

Just incredible!



[GuessImJustASpudBoy]

I own a Quiex II pressing of "Trans" on vinyl and it sounds just amazing with that nice fat chunky sound coming from Old Black. "Trans" is not "Harvest" or "After The Gold Rush" but nonetheless is a very cool album just the same. "Perfection In Every Detail..."

[geminidefect]

my favourite neil young album by far

[gerthie]

great record

[meanmiketwo]

Neil can pull off any style. If he did screamo, I'd listen to it.

[srelliott83]

I did not know until today that Neil Young was a robot in the 80's.

[vealcutlet]

Neil doesn't give a rat's arse what his audience thinks, which is GREAT! If he opened just one mind by doing stuff like this, it was probably worth it.

[tommyratboy]

A true testament to Neil's versatility, Trans is easily one of my favourite NY albums.

[whalestail1955]

Neil is coming to bonnaroo, with stephen stills and richie furay as buffalo springfield, neils "self proclaimed" favorite band

[silvanski]

@whalestail1955

That's gonna be something!!!

[pandarevolution]

This is arguably my favorite song of all time

[SilentGunman]

I wonder......if Legion from Mass Effect 2 were a character that Shepard could have a relationship with, would this be the song Legion uses to get in the mood?

[cwassman105]

Kick ass! I remember seeing this in the HBO concert back in 83. My parents recorded it, and as a kid this made quite the impact on me. Saw this and it brought me back almost 30 years! Ordered the DVD just now!

[illusionisreal]

I loved this stuff. He was way ahead of his time at this point. Everything on Trans is correct. It is the computer age right now.

[tgumbyw]

The whole concert on HBO, blew me away. This was way futuristic in '82 as far as I was concerned and Computer Age as well. I now have the dvd. Absolutely AWESOME!!!

[zenmachinefilms]

The guy playing keyboards has a Synclavier II as his top keyboard, which was at the time a $40,000 synthesizer (double that in 2010 dollars). Insane to take such an expensive synthesizer on tour? Neil and his band took two of them!

That's Nils Lofgren sharing the stage with Neil.

[MISTERWHITE111]

Love it at 1:11 where he is looking sideways at the camera .... looks so alien. Sunglasses, hair rustling in the breeze, strange tilt to his head.

[Bilbicus]

Love it how there is a few guys in the crowd punching the air and everyone else is sat perfectly still, in full WTF mode. Great video, thanks for uploading. I love this period of Neil's music, he should have gone all the way with the Trans album and left off the few tracks without vocoders/synths. If he did that I could forgive "Landing On Water".

[5x5x5x5x5]

@Bilbicus : Hey, I love Landing on Water... The drummer on that album, really makes it for me; Steve Jordan is an amazing musician, and those beats funk hard!

[dockie1964]

"This is AWESOME..Neil is PURE GENIUS"

[db7711]

Super Neil und Nils. Was für ein Wahnsingssong. Hab mir sofort die DVD

Live in Berlin 82 bestellt. Echte Rarität. Trans ist der Hammer.

[paulgibbo]

great.

[jonnysoze]

I remember watching the video for the first time Horrified!!!!!

I wanted Acoustic Neil

However i grew to like this track

This is one of his classics in my view

its what makes up Neil

Diversity

[sandberg1904]

@jonnysoze agree...i ididnt know at all that he played sucha stuff!!! bad critics...but i loike it as well!!!

[silvanski]

@VoiceEncoder

Vocoders seem to be your thing :-)

[VoiceEncoder]

@silvanski Correct!!

[response007]

@VoiceEncoder I also thought for sure that it was the Moog Vocoder...but I read in Dave Tompkin's book 'How to Wreck a Nice Beach' that it is the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201!!!

[rhombus4u]

thanks for posting........remings me of how crazy the 80's were.....but fun......glad neil seen the light and dumpe this silly stuff.

[cicadagodking]

Neil & Nils! Thanks for posting The Trans Band!
