Bandit Neil Young Cover

I think this is the only Bandit cover on YouTube so far - so it's just me and Neil then. Not a big fan of Greendale but this song blew me away when I first heard it on the tour at the Hammersmith Odeon, or whatever it's called these days. That chorus is so beautiful, and that time was a real low point in my life so the lyrics were particularly poignant. Unfortunately my recording equipment packed up half-way thru the chorus ... so only part of the song here.

That[s not Neil Young, that[s an old man!

If you mean the shot on the porch it's Neil with the camera

Was at the Hammersmith 'Greendale' gig too...in fact sat near Roger Waters in the audience ! I love Greendale, but yes I agree this is probably the best track on the album...got tickets to see old Shakey at Manchester this year...can't wait...although you never know what Neil will do....he's never been predictable but therein lies his genius.....can't seem him selling out and doing a greatest hits tour no time soon.....Keep on Rocking in the Free World !

Cheers hope you enjoy the concert. Is he playing with Crazy Horse? I'm ashamed to admit I can't get into the new album ...

Hi-the publicity blurb reckons 'The Man' will perform two sets; the first an acoustic performance and the second an electric set backed by a full band consisting of Ben Keith (guitar), Rick Rosas (bass) and Ralph Molina (drums). Sorry you can't get into Chrome Dreams.....I am doing ok with it...in fact the only album I could never ever get into was his sabotage album...'Landing on Water'.....but then I am a real 'NeilHead'

I like Hippy Dream and one or two others off that. Not his worst album IMHO. I've been a real Neil head too since Time Fades ... just seem to be listening to other stuff these days, and the last album I loved of his was Silver and Gold.

And you never did have another go!

You do a great version of this song.

[secretstrummer]

Yes I love this song. But to be honest overall I'm not a big fan of Greendale. Cheers anyway.

Many thanks - only just seen your comment! Pls check out some of my originals.
