neesah
Hey all!!! As Neesah says, we are just back from the show. It was awsome.
We met a guy who lives in Albany who met Neil on the blues tour. When
asked what he said to Neil, he responded "Oh, I told him I was going to
see him tonight". Neil replied, "Oh, that's
good." We were all interested in his story. He didn't quite
understand when I told him that we all met over the "Net". Oh well.
He did say that his mother had a computer, so we gave him the address.
The movie itself was fantastic. I just love the "burning bush" in the
beginning. The look on the woman's face as she sees the mess those guys
were getting into. Well, if you haven't seen it yet, you will not
understand this. Let me just say, it is definitely worth a trip to go see.
It is humorous. We actually got them to turn it up a bit. So we were
jamming. This is definitely a "must see".
In Peace and Rust,
Chasing the Moonlight
neesah here: chasing the moonlight was the reason they
turned up the sound! she went up and pointed out that the movie poster
says, "Crank it up!" they complied....and we all appreciated
the effort....
Wonderin' Man's Report
Hey all you Rustaholics,
Here is a quick review of the evening. The CDOP gathered to see
Year of the Horse tonight at the Spectrum Theatre in
Albany N.Y. In attendence were: Rich (old king) Rini,
Marilyn (neesah) Miller, David (Wonderin Man) Guay,
Wonderin Man's Wife Rikka Guay, Kathy (hippy girl's
smile) Popple, Scott Longstreet, Otto13 (sorry I am terrible with
names), and one other who's name I didn't catch.
We all met at the theatre at about 6:40 and renewed old and made new
friendships. I showed off my new SWIMMIN' T-Shirt to one and all.
(Brad, it was a big hit..!!) Into the theatre we went, still talkin' and
letting everyone know that the Rusties were there.
My Review:
First off, Siskel and Ebert don't know their ass from their thumbs.! Nuff
said about that. The film was gritty, sometimes out of focus and very raw
in spots. In another word, It Was Neil & Crazy Horse. That for me
sums up what they are.
The set list was not for the faint of heart. It was FABULOUS if
you ask me. Old King really loved the footage of Big Time,
too. The concert footage was really great. Most concert footage was from
the 96 & 97 tour.
The way that J.J. started Like a Hurricane in 1996, and switched
back to 1976 without skipping a beat was really great. First the Neil
from today, then the Neil of the days that used to be. The interviews
were recent, with sprinkles of snippets from 76, and 86 tours and all
in between.
Neil and Billy really got into it backstage at one point during the 86 tour,
but like family, they got over it and moved on. There was a segment about
Danny Whitten with all members saying what they remembered about him. Also a
segment about David Briggs. And a segment about Neil stealing Ralph, Billy &
Danny from the Rockets in the early days. Scott Young made some appearances
also with his insight about Neil and the Horse. That was very interesting I
thought.
It was fun to see Neil and the Horse in 76, so young and vibrant, in 86, when
they argued alot about vocals and harmonies, and 96, when they seem to really
respect each other.
I thought the part about the burning flowers was hilarious.
All in all a MUST SEE for any and all Rusties. From all us CDOP,
have a good one, and Keep On Rustin' In The Free World...!!!
Later
David aka Wonderin Man!!!
Hippy Girl's Smile's Report
Those of us doing dinner together met in front of the theater and noticed
immediately that we were standing amidst a cluster of gourmet dining.
There was Chinese, Americanese, Au Bon Burrito, and Chicken a la Motoroil.
Actually the Souffle de la Taco Salad sufficed here but more importantly
the fellow Rusty diners were much fun.
YOTH was every bit as good as the first time that I saw it in
Manhatten. Chasing The Moonlight "Slipped Away" during FU.
Apparently she went to tell the projectionist to CRANK IT UP!!!!!!!!!
and the person *did* "C.I.U.", to the approval of at least half
of the 20 people in attendance.
Our group included Neesah, *OLD KING* jumped into a chair, Dave and
missus Wonderin' "Bridge" Man, Roger Otto13, Tim with no handle,
Chasing The Moonlight, and another guy who I thought that I
remembered from SPAC HORDE. You were very much missed Doriann,
Jamie, Bob, Bikeralane, and the Powderfingers. U2 bh, Sufferin
Shakey, Lonesome Whistle, Northern Man, The Rasks, Jennie, and
Tired Eyes.
Most interesting of all is the fact that Neesah and I definitely
saw Leo standing in the crowd at the 96 GORGE show. Yes we saw him
pointing and that hat with the Neil Young license plate was a dead
giveaway. Boy Leo you really don't miss any shows do you?
All I can say is that it was great seeing everyone again and meeting new
Rusties. A freshly fallen shroud of snow prompted an early end to the
evening.
As an afterthought, the "flowers on fire" scene is funny but I think that I
also really like the part where Billy is being frisked after he stuffs shit
in his coat in the convenience store.
