Don't Let It Bring You Down - Neil Young Live @ Grand Rex

Neil Youngs Don't Let It Bring You Down @ Grand Rex, Paris the 14th of February 2008.
Song 10 of his first set, all acoustic.

The song is from the 1970 album After the Goldrush.

Captured from the lower balcony with my Panasonic Lumix-camera. Handheld obviously.

Lyrics:

Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the building scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,
If you're walking home alone.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Putain merci! D'avoir pris le risque de "créer des interférences" ;) Tout simplement fantastique

[anderaxel]

un appareil photo comme ce que j'ai va jamais créer des interférences, tout simplement parce que y n'a rien que peut créer des interférences dadans - aucune bluetooth, aucune wifi, y n'a rien qui peut communiquer avec d'autres chose sans cabel :)

donc, pas de risque a été pris :)

Awesome! My favourite Neil Young song. I remember first hearing it in 1975, seems like yesterday. Sounds just as good today as it did then.
