emilysue.bsky.social•22 days ago

if you can narrow it down, come back!

reply

mainehigs.bsky.social•22 days ago

Well a good one for today is “rockin in the free world” ( or maybe the whole album ) or maybe war of man.

Hell yeah, that's my favorite Neil era in general I think. He kicked off his Farm Aid set last year with Hank to Hendrix > Harvest Moon > Unknown Legend, I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to be standing there watching that.

reply

emilysue.bsky.social•22 days ago

he really is a living legend. i saw him solo in Boston in 2014 and he also opened with Hank to Hendrix!!

That was great stuff thanks for the tip 🔥

Shovels and Rope (husband wife duo) are amazing. they have a ton of great songs of their own. totally underrated.

I saw him play After the Gold Rush on a piano that looked like it came from an elementary school. That one sticks in my mind.

Asking a person to choose just one is cruel and unusual.

For me it’s between Unknown Legend and Harvest Moon.

Can’t choose one song. The whole On The Beach album is my pick

reply

Mr Soul

Ive seen some cool renditions over the years.

The Trans tour I saw in Pittsburgh 1984 had a quirky synth sounding version (a lot of long time fans hated that tour)

The Neil and Booker T show I saw at Blossom in 93 was so deeply soulful with the heavy b3 organ sound

reply

oujt.bsky.social•22 days ago

I don't know, The Ocean, Trans Am, Country Home

cubsgirl1825.bsky.social•22 days ago

Neil isn’t my favorite and I don’t listen to him very much but I like Cinnamon Girl.

Helpless always hits me hard. Especially the version below. Sugar Mountain too.

Harvest Moon is such a good album, Natural Beauty is my favorite from it.

Thanks for sharing this. Forgot about this one.

reply

emilysue.bsky.social•22 days ago

great picks. Harvest is, top to bottom, an excellent album. one of my high school english teachers had a Harvest poster in his room. i’ve always thought Out On the Weekend is such a perfect opening song.

reply

driptych.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yeah, and After the Gold Rush recorded just before that.

reply

tomunculus.bsky.social•22 days ago

There's a version of Harvest Moon that he did on SNL a while ago. It's just him, his guitar, and his harmonica. It's haunting and beautiful.
