Neil Young

[Marco]

Harvest - This is my favorite Neil Young`s album, What You think of that?
Out on the Weekend, Old man and Heart Of Gold are great but my favorite is Harvest.

Great album, although my favourite album from this era is actually After The Gold Rush. Like you, I love the title track.

So many critics rave on about Tonight's The Night because it was about 'drugs' and it's 'real'. Tonight's The Night is OK but I honestly think that most of Neil Young's best work was when he was doing straightforward acoustic stuff. Having said that, my all time favourite Neil Young album is Rust Never Sleeps.

I have several of Neil's songs on a compilation cd, but only 1 album (Harvest) and it's vinyl. Therefore, it never gets played!

My all time fave song is Heart of Gold. Brings back good memories! I also love Like a Hurricane, Cinnamon Girl, and Harvest Moon.

This is pretty sad. It's horrible that he lost artifacts from his whole musical career.

Oh, that's awful...he must be devastated!

[Brooke]

Terrible, but it did say about 70% was salvaged.

70% of material value....old cars and stuff. But I wonder about the intangibles like original recordings...masters...private sessions he'd recorded...home videos. Those things wouldn't be worth much when stacked up against a 1970 Barracuda he might have restored materially, but in value to Neil.... irreplaceable! I wonder if the value of THOSE artifacts were considered by the media and fire department?

Heartfelt regrets go out to you Neil.

It's his birthday today as well (for me anyway, November 12). Not a good way to spend it.

Neil's had a tough time lately, losing long-time friends Ben Keith and his Bernard Shakey film co-producer Larry Johnson within the last little while.

They're thinking it's the charging system for his Lincvolt car that started it.

The Damage Done according to Neil:
1-despite the damage, most everything of real value survived.
2-the archives are safe and not there.
3-some video and film was onsite and is ok.
4- Lincvolt was parked over night there and did not fare well in the fire.
5-no precious guitars were on site.
6- I foresee a yard sale in our future and imagine that you will hear abut it thru me or other official channels.
7- everyone is ok

Too bad it happened, but could have been a lot worse, the archives were saved, that's great.

Thanks Jdubfan. That's about the best way I could have imagined to have awakened this rainy, dreary Friday morning!

Yard Sale....Hmmmmm!
