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.

Bob Dylan has written many songs that are done by a lot of artists. One of the best Dylan interpreters is Neil Young, he has done wonderful versions of Bob Dylan songs.
Today we will post two great Bob Dylan takes on Mr. Young’s classic, Old Man.
Neil Young wrote Old Man when he was 27! Young was probably 24 years old when he wrote the song! (see the comments)

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…
It’s unbelievable, it’s strange but true
