ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY:
Neil Young grants rare and unprecedented access to the BBC for a documentary
in which he traces his musical journey in his own words.
The film was made from three hours of interview shot in New York and California
and utilises previously unseen performance footage from the star’s own extensive archives.
It also features cohorts Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Nils Lofgren and James Taylor.
From his early transcontinental American quest for recognition, through the first flush of
success with Buffalo Springfield to the bi-polar opposites of mega-stardom with Crosby, Stills
and Nash and the soulful rock of Crazy Horse, Young’s career has enjoyed many guises.
Perhaps his most famous period was as a 1970s solo artist making albums that became benchmarks.
After The Goldrush, recorded in his Topanga Canyon home, and Harvest, part-recorded on
his northern Californian ranch, saw Young explore the confessional side of song-writing.
But never one to rest on his laurels, he would continually change direction.
In the mid-Seventies, two of Young’s closest friends died as a result of heroin abuse.
What followed was music’s answer to cinema verite, with Tonight’s The Night a spine-chilling
wake for his dead friends.
As New Wave arrived, Young was keen to explore new ideas. A collaboration with Devo on what
became his art-house epic, Human Highway, saw the genesis of Rust Never Sleeps, a requiem for
the Seventies.
In the Eighties, Young explored different genres, from electronica to country and in recent
times he has returned to Crazy Horse and Crosby, Stills and Nash, but only when it has suited him.
The film ends with Young still refusing to be denied, on tour in the USA with CSNY, playing
anti-Bush songs to a Republican audience in the South.

First at all, you need to understand, all those DVDs are rare stuff made by fans with home software and equipment, of course nothing offer on this site is compare with original DVDs, the quality varies on each titles.   EXAMPLE:    I recorded a broadcast in 1978 and I saved the tape in my basement for 30 years and I found the tape and I decided to put the video on DVD, no video remastered or audio, I just put on DVD; you can imagine the quality right?   Of course is not gonna be really good quality or HD, this is the parameter for this kind of DVDs, not all are bad, not all are good, but you need to keep in your mind, this is rare stuff never released on original DVD, the quality is very different on each DVD, in this site you gonna find very good stuff and low quality stuff, that’s why is very important check it out the quality rating, is a tool to give you an idea about the quality, we have old DVDs with very good quality, and old DVDs very low quality, or new stuff HD and new stuff with no good quality.
The HD era change many things and now DVDs than before in 2003-2009 was rated 9.0 or 9.5   now are 8.0 or 8.5, now everything is HD but in the past was not like that, you can see original DVDs from 2000-2008, watch it now on a big screen and look low quality, that happen with many of our DVDs.
