Live Rust
I had a dream last night that The Gotham Gal and Josh and I were at a Neil Young show, right up front, and during an acoustic version of Powderfinger, Neil invited The Gotham Gal to join him on acoustic guitar. She was great by the way.
That dream ended in the Boston Garden in 1979 on the Live Rust tour. It was the greatest Neil Young show that I’ve ever experienced.
And so this morning, I woke up and put on Live Rust (via Rhapsody).
I love this record. It starts out with the folky stuff like Sugar Mountain, Comes A Time, and After The Goldrush. But it ends in killer fashion; Cortez, Cinnamon Girl, Hurricane, Hey Hey, and Tonight’s The Night.
I blogged about Cortez before and featured this awesome YouTube video. Neil was so good on that tour. That young skinny Neil in the punk hairdo playing killer solos on his Gibson Les Paul may be my favorite Neil and there are so many to choose from.
I suppose the dream came from my excitement over seeing Neil next month in upper manhattan at the United Palace Theater with Rod and Jay and possibly Jackson and friends. I hope he does that acoustic version of Powderfinger so my dream can come true.

So, suppose Rhapsody's server was down this morning, what would you have done then?
I don't have to worry, I just pull out my vinyl copy of Live Rust and slap it on my turntable.....done.
