Cowgirl in the Sand - Neil Young Live @ Grand Rex

Neil Youngs Cowgirl in the Sand @ Grand Rex, Paris the 14th of February 2008.
Song 11 of his first set, all acoustic.

Captured from the low balcony with my handheld Panasonic Lumix-camera.

The song is from his 1969 album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.

Lyrics:

Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place
at your command
Can I stay here
for a while
Can I see your
sweet sweet smile
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same?
It's the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.

Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band
begun to rust
After all
the sin we've had
I was hopin' that
we'd turn back
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same
It's the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.

Hello woman of my dreams
This is not
the way it seems
Purple words
on a grey background
To be a woman
and to be turned down
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same
It's the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.

Thanks a lot. How did you get so good audio quality!?

[anderaxel]

seems like my Panasonic Lumix is very good when it comes to acoustic concerts.. and the sound at the venue was already great. so it's just a lucky shot I guess..

thanks for the comment!

Hello to Neil Young in Sand (Hello Cowsils? in the Sand)

Is today's musIck really so bland? (can you say "Voyage of the Damned"?)

To be a clown with a turned-down frown. To take a stand and to be short-hand.did. To be a powderfinger and to be let it burn and linger. Old enough, now, to know Neil Young . To read his purple lyrics on a gray background.  To be his main joker and not be jokin' 'round. When so many love his later stuff it's a shame and not near enough know his name.

Greatest one-man band ever!

[senojhtiek]

if you havent already heard it, listen to City & Colour's version of this song. its way good. Neil Young is sick as hell for sure tho

[StarMatt9th]

I just can't wait to see him. Wish he could come in France soon....

[pavaughn1]

The same sweet voice he had in 1970. Just like David Crosby and Steven Still. Thank you.

[MrCiaran31]
