Neil Young has resonated through generations. This movie is eerie & sweet much like alot of his music. This guy is not afraid of letting his feelings show & could care less what anyone thinks. The best part is that he... Full review

(I see you can't delete a rating...) I have been a fan of Neil Young since his work with CSNY in the early 1970s. I have even played his music on occasion. I thought the supporting musicianship in the performances was... Full review

From a visual standpoint, the film was well done. The mood that it established was entirely captured by the filmmaker. But what a crappy mood to capture. Granted Neil Young is getting older and more mellow with the years but this... Full review

this video clearly shows that like a seasoned veteran time has made him better and better; clearly he values family and good friends above all else; he looks comfortable in his skin and at ease with his songs;;; I loved this... Full review

To see him try in 2 hours, 15 minutes was loads of fun, but the acoustic segments, however hearty-"Heart of Gold" remains lovely and aching every time-changed the trajectory and muddled the momentum. As the first opener in a long night of music with a legend at the top and legends-in-the-making in the middle, Everest must be a patient band, hawking their wares for variously indifferent and low-capacity crowds more interested in another $8 Bud. ...

The name came from a famous Young quotation that defined his approach as well as anything he's ever said: "'Heart of Gold" put me in the middle of the road. Underground music before it becomes established -- I like that music, because the people making it are alive," Young said of the punk years in a 1987 interview, cited in Jimmy McDonough's compelling biography, Shakey. ...

Although Young often overreaches notes, he projects magic on stage. Eight cameras record the two monumental concerts in which Young performs his album, Prairie Wind, written after he was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm a few months earlier. ... Full Review
