Love me some Neil Young on plastic

Neil Young...second copy of the disc and a favorite. I like to own copies of my music so I still buy artifacts. ('The cloud" is just someone else's server access to which costs you rent. Rent is bad.) A little old school Young with the memorable Four Strong Winds and Motorcycle Mama. Great drivin' music.

Neil's an established artist, so i'm not going to spend a whole long while blabbering on and on about this album. To put it simply, if you like(not even love) Neil Young, than you should own this album. It doesn't have a weak track throughout and is great late sixties, Young at his finest.

Don't hesitate to grab, especially the newly remastered version. It sounds great!

I bought this on vinyl when it was originally released.  I remember seeing Rory on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert and being fascinated with his playing style.  You can really hear the natural sounds of his vintage Strat on this album.  I am happy whenever I can find my old vinyl lps remastered on cd.

Always like to hear Neil! When the Harvest album came out in about 1972, I took the album off to play something I was more familiar with. Did I ever hear it from the rest of the folks there. Been a Neil Young fan ever since!

Imagine Neil Young live singing many of his greatest hits with a perfect recording.  This CD sounds so good you will think you are in the audience listening to it.  If you are a Neil Young fan, you should have this CD for your collection.  It is amazing.

I seen Neil do this show at the Fox Theater in St. Louis about 1999. Front row, center. A GREAT SHOW. Several of these songs went on to the CSN&Y album Looking Forward. I also saw that concert when they came to St. Louis.( I've had this DVD for some time and didn't realize that as I was reading these reviews and looked and seen I had it.) This show is much like that but not a complete show as he did in St. Louis. He asked that people not ask for requests and there is always some drunk fool shouting out something, not cool at all. Overall a great concert, this is great as well. If you're a Neil Young fan, as I have been since Buffalo Springfield, then you must add this to your video collection. I think that when Neil does his acoustic stuff, he wants it to be quiet so that you can hear the music and words he is saying. It is, after all, coming from his heart. Of course his electric stuff is to get you moving and I dig that too, Rust Never Sleeps, for example which I seen at the old Boston Garden in October of 1978, a great video to watch, now that it is on Blu ray, I have, and the picture on that is really stunning. Neil has his hits.....and misses....but over all... for a man who has been doing this for 51 years now...you just gotta love him. Get it and enjoy.

i appreciate growth and change in musicians.  i enjoy the evolution of one's art....but i admit it; i've long wanted neil young to create another After the Goldrush or another On the Beach.  it's been a long wait, but i think this is it.  i've continued to buy neil young's albums through the 80's, 90's, and 00's, but none got played with any frequency.  THIS one has been played almost daily since its release.  THIS is the one i've been waiting for.  i guess it doesn't hurt that i'm also a fan of daniel lanois.  to me, he rivals mr. eno in the unmistakable contributions he makes to his artists' work.
if you have ever been a fan of neil young, don't be put off by the "negative" reviews.  like i said:  this is the one.

I think the folks remaking these songs sound great. Phoenix has a great flutter in his voice. Good stuff even for an 80's metal guy like me.

THE BAND: David Crosby (vocals, guitar), Stephen Stills (vocals, guitar, timbales), Graham Nash (vocals, piano), and several studio musicians including - George Perry (bass), Tim Drummond (bass), Gerald Johnson (bass), Jimmy Haslip (bass), Joe Vitale (organ, flute, drums), Russ Kunkel (drums).

THE DISC: (1977) 12 tracks clocking in at just over 44 minutes. Digitally remastered and re-released in 1994. Included with the disc is a 6-page booklet containing song titles/times/credits, song lyrics, and thank you's. Label - Atlantic.

COMMENTS: I found this CSN disc from 1977 somewhat hard to find in the local stores. This crisply remastered disc replaces my old vinyl album with all its snaps/crackles/pops. The acoustic guitars and drums/hi-hat/cymbols sound like they were recorded yesterday. CSN's harmony remains legendary. The drug induced folk/pop/lite-FM masters of layed back rock achieve gold on this reunion album. "Deja Vu" was my first album of CSN(Y)'s back in the early 1970's and it's still my sentimental favorite. 1972 found the band all but together. Solo projects followed their break up - but, never achieved (in my opinion) the success or craftmanship that CSN could produce as a whole. Neil Young was briefly part of the group, but as good as some of his songs were with Crosby/Stills/Nash, I still felt like he was on the outside looking in. Not a bad thing - I think some of Neil Young's work with (his) Crazy Horse is brilliant. "CSN" spawned 4 worthy hits with "Fair Game", "Cathedral", "Just A Song Before I Go", and my all-time favorite song of theirs "Dark Star". "CSN" also had 3 beautiful piano ballads in "Carried Away", "Anything At All", and "Cold Rain". The acoustic numbers "See The Changes" and "In My Dreams" (about Crosby's drug addiction) are both top notch. Lastly, there are 2 deeper tracks - both in the rock mode that are hidden gems... "Run From Tears" and the last track on the disc "I Give You Give Blind" (my favorite non-hit song here). Not a weak track to be found (5 stars).

I've owned the awful Virgin re-release of this album on vinyl since 1980-something.  It was a cheap spin to get the band out again and I've always hated the quality.  I just finally got over it and bought the cd here.  The auto download already sounds so much better! I just saw PIL in DC a few weeks ago and wish them all well! It was the best live performance that I have ever seen in mt life and had the pleasure of experiencing it with my wife.  The price of a classic record is inexpensive here so I hope some of the proceeds make it to the artists. For 4 bucks I don't feel cheated at all. I think that my original purchase of this record was only 8 bucks. What a racket.

Neil Diamond has always been my favorite songwriter, and he really has a treasure in his new 12 SONGS. I play it constantly.

Well I've read all the comments, interesting, I'm 45 now, I've followed diamond since I think I was 12, I have had respect for his style and taste for his dreams and for his music all the way through these years, so in other words, I have come to like, love and enjoy each and every song, though I do have a most favorites list. Now we have "12 Songs" give or take, for as much of a fan I am, I'd say most albums have taken a couple of listening to's to let it grab you, to listen to the lyrics then pick up on the music and have a drink or two, listen again and then make judgment...because I'm currently dieting, I can't have the drink or two, but I'm sure this new album will sink into my skin very soon. I have always enjoyed singing along with Neil, I can easily sit in his register without a problem, and there is no doubt his voice is changing with time, I suspect he still smokes too, naughty lad!...but I'm going to have to listen to this new album a few times to let it in, it's different, I definitely like the close and personal feel, I like the simple approach with less instrumentation which makes it sound uncluttered and therefore distinctive, I must admit that "Oh Mary" is a little funny, not exactly the way I would have sung it i.e. not so many of the "Oh Mary" especially the parts sung in the lower soft register and repeated, I wouldn't have sung it, spoken it, whatever...but I'll still respect what Neil has done and will do and until my own dying day, hurry back to Melbourne Neil get that Aussie girl to convince you Australia is the place to live!!....."thank you Neil you've been fantastic"

THIS IS A GREAT COLLECTION OF SONGS FOR MS. MCDONALD.  I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE NEIL YOUNG SONG "MY HEART" BUT IT'S THE TWO SONGS WRITTEN BY THE LATE LAURA NYRO THAT HAVE CAUSED ME TO THINK THAT NOT SINCE THE FIFTH DIMENSION'S MARILYN MCCOO HAS THERE BEEN A VOICE SO PERFECTLY SUITED FOR NYRO SONGS.  PERHAPS A COLLECTION OF NYRO SONGS WILL COME OUR WAY LATER IN HER CAREER.

Absolutely the BEST!!!  I have several Neil Young albums, and kept hearing tracks from this on Pandora;  so, I ordered it.  It is my new favorite.  Songs that appear on other albums, like "Cowgirl in the Sand" are masterfully done, live, on acoustic guitar or piano.  If you are a fan, you won't be disappointed.

I catch a lot of my Music watching AXS TV., then when they play something I Really Like & want to own, I jump on Amazon & purchase it! Neil did not disappoint!! Luv the fact that it's Live, & for the most part acoustic!! There's also a humorous story about his childhood friend(Neil was 5) & his buddy talked him into eating "Road Tar"! (You've gotta see it) Hey, Thumbs up from me.

I love Neil, and I like this album. If you don't truly "love" Neil Young - get "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" or "Re*Ac*Tor*" or "Harvest" or "Zuma"or ..... before you get this - then you will love Neil Young
