Always Gives 110%
by BlackLodge on 2025-04-12Rating: 5 out of 5Ignore the entitled whiners who only want to hear 'Cinnamon Girl', 'Heart of Gold', and other radio 'hits' played note-for-note like the record. Neil always does what he wants, and if he's playing electric with a band, then be prepared for extended jams. Sure, sometimes they go nowhere and seem self-indulgent, but it's about the journey and being in the moment, and you never really know which way things will go. When the music peaks, it does so big-time. I've seen him many times since 1986, with Crazy Horse, POTR, and other configurations, and he always puts out, playing every gig like it's his last. For over 50 years he's had the admiration of hippies, punks, grungers, rockers, country fans, folk fans, and everybody else. He must be doing something right.
