Free Music Notes for Live at Massey Hall (CD/DVD)
Free Music Review: CD GREAT-DVD, FORGET IT
Hit: 5 Stars
Short, sweet and to the point. The concert at Massey Hall is a Neil Young acoustical classic. A lot of songs that were new at the time and have since become classics along with a few old favorites.
Unless you just have to have everything by Neil Young, just get the CD - you can live without the DVD. Out of 68 minutes, a repeat of the CD, you get - if you're lucky, maybe 20 minutes of poorly photographed concert footage. And what's the remainder? If you're stoned and really get your jollies in watching a film of tape recorder taping the concert, you'll truly enjoy the DVD. Yep, that's the bulk of the DVD - a tape recorder recording the concert with Neil singing in the background. And from the looks of the surroundings, the tape recorder isn't even at Massey Hall, but probably somewhere else.
A truly great CD which belongs in the collection of every Neil Young fan. You can live without the DVD and not miss a thing. Take the money you'll save by purchasing just the CD sans DVD and buy another Neil Young album.
Free Music Review: Poor quality video, excellent audio
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought the CD/DVD combination, because I was interested in seeing the concert. Unfortunately, the video quality is spotty and for some of the songs there is no video at all, just a view of some instruments.
The audio quality is fine, and Neil sounds so young! It's a joy to listen to...Enjoy.
Free Music Review: CD pefection, DVD rejection
Hit: 4 Stars
Ok, so maybe the DVD isn't a complete reject. The footage of Neil at his ranch and that of the "Old Man" is just fabulous. Also, Neil on stage in that wonderful flannel shirt is precious. That being said, I can only watch a reel to reel tape recorder spinning around for just so long. Talk about space filling!
The CD part of this duo, however, is some of the finest early Neil available. I have a ton of bootleg LPs and nothing comes close to this. The sound quality and play list is outstanding. It's a real gem. Too bad that the packaging is so poor. The cheap cardboard sleeve will no doubt scratch the discs. Inside is a fragment of a newspaper review of the concert (man, I wish I had a time machine!) which the designers of this
CD/DVD package felt we would not be interest in reading. That's a shame.
Free Music Review: Tearfull Reunion
Hit: 5 Stars
Just a great live performance that brought tears to my eyes. I recommend this CD to any Neil Young fans and also to those who may be too young to remember his past greatness. Sit back....light one up and bask in the music...PeaceFree Music Review: Great Show
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording should have been issued back in the '70s. It is Neil at his finest playing a great selection of material. The DVD is also remarkable in capturing his stage presence as a solo artist.
