Since Prairie Wind is a return to the soft, lush country-rock sound of Harvest; since Neil Young suffered a brain aneurysm during its recording; since it finds the singer/songwriter reflecting on life and family in the wake of his father’s death; and since it’s his most cohesive album in a decade, it would seem that all these factors add up to a latter-day masterpiece for Young, but that’s not quite the case.

Rock n’ Roll came from the slaves singing gospel in the fields. Their lives were hell and they used music to lift out of it, to take them away. That’s what rock n’ roll should do – take you to a better place.

I never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That’s my role in life, to be an outcast.

Only 5 days left.
Bob Dylan October 1, 2 & 3 @ Oslo Konserthus, Oslo, Norway.
I can’t wait
I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
But I don’t know how much longer I can wait
I would have LOVED to get “Can’t Wait” @ one of the 3 shows in Oslo, last time he performed it was @ The Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, New York – 4 September 2012 – over 3 years ago.
Anyways, some “warm-up” posts are due.
I’ll do 5 “Great 2015 concert” posts; 2 concerts from “2015 US Spring Tour (10 April – 17 May)” and 3 from “2015 Europe Summer Festival Tour (20 June –16 July)”.

Wonderful concert @ the sound quality is simply magical – like sitting in the front row…

Abbey Road is the 11th studio album released by the English rock band The Beatles. It is their last recorded album, although Let It Be was the last album released before the band’s dissolution in 1970. Work on Abbey Roadbegan in April 1969, and the album was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom, and 1 October 1969 in the United States.
Abbey Road is widely regarded as one of The Beatles’ most tightly constructed albums, although the band was barely operating as a functioning unit at the time. Despite the tensions within the band, Abbey Road was released to near universal acclaim and is considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. In 2012, Abbey Road was voted 14th on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time”. In 2009, readers of the magazine also named Abbey Road the greatest Beatles album.
