A great comical, rambling version of Sugar Mountain!

It's the last show of the tour, and Neil relaxes and lets his sense of humor take over this classic tune...

"...the barkers and the coloured balloons..."

Is there any better imagery conveyed by words ?

this song was commonly played down at Occupy LA and i have to say it was amazing sitting in a circle of 20 people with a few guitars and playing this with each person singing as loud as they could. There was complete and total solidarity. it was perfect.

I played this version of Sugar Mtn. many, many times on the radio from the Bootleg that I had, simply called "Live on Suager Mountain" cheaply packaged in an all blue cover. This is THE Best version of this song... period. Neil being self panning and all. This is a great version to play for people who hate this song. I am forever angry with the bootlegger who cuts off the charging and momentary exhilarating applause at the end. A bummer. I wished This full version was released in the box, alas.

When I ran away from home a hundred years ago, I made sure I had Neil's records packed up with me.

@williambarr52 How great that must have been. I grew up with his music and he has always been one of my favorite's. I did see him when he toured with Pearl Jam in the 90's. It was amazing but I would have loved to have seen him back then. That period of time with this music, just had a different feel. It was so special. You also mentioned his guitar playing. I don't think people give him nearly the respect he deserves for his talent as a guitarist. He is up there with the best of them.

I attended this concert, Neil Young sat on a single chair on the stage. Magnificent acoustical guitar and classic Neil Young singing. Wonderful. Strange he did not play an encore.

Everyone who had been inclined to sing along got too chagrined when Neil said they couldn't clap in time!
