[rayzer271974]

[blink2uwlove]

[julyarchives]

What a great tune .I was kucky to be there that day .Great NYCH performance and Like A Hurricane finale indescribable

[robertross1949]

"I'm still living the dream we had for me It"s not over" It"s over for David Brigs the producer of Neil and Crazy Horse early albums. That enemy inside of me in reference to death in general we all face. When a friend dies this song comes up as a reminder to me. Well put Neil,very emotional.

[MrHairymanback]

[DoctorDreams99]

[taemanok2006]

Catalyst in the Cruz Rocks!

[taemanok2006]

Yesh, I want Neil at my next high school reunion! Trip city...

[BrokenArrow24]

Yes, totally true. Neil is at his best with Crazy Horse. Playing with them enhances him, adds a new level to his playing. We can only pray, that they might reuinte one day. I would really like to know, why Neil is not returning to them for so long...

I will upload some more rare songs. Got a lot of good stuff here.. :)

plus, judging from the numbers viewed here, the tell-tale hit syndrome dominates neil on u-toob, but the real artistry resides in the live shows, ie. all his work w/crazzy horse live in the 90's remains his best live work. check out old princeton landing shows, but there were no 'hits' in the 90's but the whole decade was a hit for these guys live.....

[wellspout]

what's amazing is nobody is asking where crazy horse is these daze, and it's not like his new band sucks, they're actually good, but not telepathically monumental, and as far as the reason they've been en absentia is that there's a rft between peggy (who's been touring w/neil) and his fraternal band bros, but that is pure speculation. for whatever reason, i hope they can come to some sense of purpose and reunite asap, because they are quintessential vehicles for neil to attain escape velocity!

[helmsbarn]

what's the name of this song? i own the CD but I don't think it's listed.

[guyglowmore1]

grandemoff and 89: good one. must add that sometimes it even helps if we force ourselves to smile. then again. . .it's all part of the big mysterious. sort of like nihilistique. fastronauts multiply. the quickening accellerates. we try to keep the faith but it's so hard sometimes

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

power of thought and power of word. DONT SAY SHIT because then it makes u feel that way. always say ur fine and happy even if ur not. it makes a big difference.

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

what? dude are u dead?

[cosmickev1969]

Nice recording! I was there that day, and its the worst festival Ive ever been to, but Crazy Horse were majic! Thanks for putting this on tube, brought back some good memories.

[wellspout]

yet one more example of why crazy horse, despite it's imperfections, is able to provide the perfect soul medium for the real neil, unlike his current band who just allow a facsimile of this. i petition for permanent reunion, asap. if you have seen him live, say at catalyst, you know what i say is true

[Antitheist75]

@wellspout Absolutely!! Seen Neil many times, and with Crazy Horse at his side (or behind him). I don't care to see him WITHOUT Crazy Horse anymore. Some of my fav memories from NY & CH concerts is Poncho jumpin' up and down, during Big Time Especially!. If there is a God, He's not in heaven, He's touring, and playing His music, and His name is Neil!

what happened to billy?

was this in the UK?

[SoVerySappy]

Everyone knew the song Billy. What...was I jerking off fer you???

Its hard to believe, but at that time, they had to cancel some shows because of lack of ticket sales.

Neil was mad at Billy outward...mad at himself inside.

[enwurds]

Is this the performance in the movie "Year of the Horse?" That's such a badass film. I love the scene where Neil yells at Billy backstage.

[jarnkamin2007]

EVERYBODY KNEW THE AGREEMENT, THE ARRANGEMENT. THATS WHY WE PRACTICED FOR FUCKIN ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!hahaha remember that. but my fuckin kid brother erased yearofthehorse from my fuckin computer any ideas of where i can get it??????

[RustChannel]

CRAZY HORSE!!!!!!!!

[MELHUS40]

oh BIG TIME 

Gonna take a ride so far

To the land of sun tan lotion

Gonna take it state by state

Til I hit the golden gate

Get my feet wet in the ocean

love it

[SoVerySappy]

Great acoustics. thanks

[Velubyy]

Nice song!!!

[wellspout]

transport to the beaches just north of town, where there's nobody but a line of pelicans streaming south beside the cliffs, and the warm salt breeze making me want to lay down in the sand, and watch the sun set into the water five hours later

[SoVerySappy]

@wellspout WOW........COOL. Im there with you.
