It Has Come to Our Attention That Some People...

Thrasher's Wheat Radio Supporters Go To Europe
for Neil Young & Crazy Horse Concert Tour

It has come to our attention that some people have been talkin' us down. They bring up our name, pass it 'round. They don't mention happy times. They do their thing, we'll do ours.

So, before we just walk on, we'll come back to that, and hit much more important matters right up front here.

First -- and foremost -- a sincere thanks to all who have supported Thrasher's Wheat Radio Goes To Europe for Neil Young & Crazy Horse journey! We couldn't have done that without all of our loyal, dear readers' and listener's generosity and confidence. Folks who welcomed us into their homes sight unseen. Folks who donated extra tickets for nothing more than a shirt and button.

The Magic Love of A Very Hot Night in Paris:
A Neil Young Story
The Europe adventure was a journey to the heart, mind and soul. Past, present and future with old and new friends.

As we went In Search of the Holy Rail, we discovered The Magic Love of A Very Hot Night in Paris. To say it was all momentous would be the understatement of a lifetime as the TWR crew hit 4 concerts in 3 countries in 5 days. Exhilarating and exhausting, we wouldn't buy, sell, borrow or trade for anything different.

Anything.

So back to something that has come to our attention that some people have been talkin' Thrasher's Wheat down.

Here's why this doesn't bring us down. In the interest of full disclosure let us attempt to clarify a misunderstanding. Our fundraising efforts were not so that we personally could wrangle a free trip to Europe for Neil & The Horse. No. Our fundraising efforts are an attempt to re-coup the expenses of our non-profit partner WBKM.org. Just to be totally clear, the Thrasher's Wheat website paid all expenses for the radio team from Burlington, Vermont -- airfare, hotels, food, beverage, and tickets. It adds up, let us tell you.

And the t-shirts and buttons are being used to defray these expenses. Please remember none of this money is going to us (thrasher & thrashette) - we are providing European coverage at no charge whatsoever to you -- our faithful readers and loyal fellow Neil fans -- and will continue to do so without any payment. Both Thrasher's Wheat Radio and WBKM.org are non-profit-making entities in the sense that every penny received is plowed back to produce t-shirts, buttons and sponsorships until costs are recovered. Now, let us be honest and tell you here that it'll take a whole lotta shirts getting moved for us ever be made whole on all of this. But that's OK as we continue to see the vista and hear the muse while providing high quality wheat news that our readers demand from this mostly chaff free blog.

So if you hear some people talkin' us down, please let them know where our hearts are and that we're watching out for the greedy hand, greedy hand. Then, just walk on.

Comment of the Moment: London Gig of Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Neil Young
Photo via Uncut.co.uk
(Click photo to enlarge)
Given the debacle in Dublin -- where everything that could go wrong did -- it's nice to see the tour leg ending in London last night proved a worthy redemption.

As we discussed in coverage of Neil Young & Crazy Horse Dublin, it seems like the odds were not in favor of a successful evening with the poor weather, poor sound, poor horse track venue, lack of stage props, an early curfew shutting down the Cortez encore, among other factors, took its toll on a poor audience heavy with drunken talkers.

But if you're down on a frown, check out this letter a messenger brought me on London: Neil Young & Crazy Horse Concert Reviews - June 17, 2013 by Unknown:

This was the greatest gig I have have ever had the pleasure to experience, bar none.

Despite Neil's claims to the contrary, the band treated us to an extraordinary mind blowing performance. There are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe just how magnificent Neil and the Horse were tonight. The sound acoustics and staging were superb throughout and the set list perfect. Particular highlights were the epic Ramada Inn, a sublime reading of Blowin' In The Wind, the poignant Red Sun, the powerhouse Hey, Hey and the crowd pleasing garage of F@@kin' Up. I never thought it was possible to reach such a transcendental high at a gig.

This was a full two and half hours of brilliance from masters of their craft. Roll on the next one in London in August.

Thanks Unknown!

The "Geffen-Like" Reactions to Dublin Concert of Neil Young & Crazy Horse

UPDATE: The reaction to the reaction of of Neil Young & Crazy Horse in Dublin has become news itself across Ireland: Neil Young and great expectations | On The Record.

Neil Young
RDS Arena, Dublin, Ireland - June 15
Photo Gallery by Graham Keogh
The "Geffen-Like" reactions to last night's Dublin concert of Neil Young & Crazy Horse have been both bewildering and hilarious.

Neil Young -- once again -- accused of not making Neil Young-like music. How is this possible? Definitely a case of "Why do I keep fuckin' up" without a clue.

As documented on our Twitter live blog filter yesterday, reactions to Dublin were all over the map. From joyfully positive to outraged anger.

Fantastic concert from Neil Young in the RDS tonight. What a performer!
— Jim Carney (@Chimbob) June 16, 2013

@NialOFarrell Neil Young was more interested in having 20 min feedback session with his amp after every song than playing his music : ((((

— Cormac (@CmolloyW) June 16, 2013

Even the mainstream press exhibited the typical "we get it cause we're hip, but we won't give it a positive review" with smug know-it-all arrogance.

From Neil Young and Crazy Horse trot off with a whimper - Music News | Gigs, Album Reviews & More | The Irish Times - Sun, Jun 16, 2013 by Kevin Courtney:

What was that wafting through the air at the RDS Arena last night? It was the smell of disappointment, as 18,000 Neil Young fans came to the slow and painful realisation that the man in black on stage was there only to please himself and not the modest attendance at the 30,000 capacity venue.

Neil Young can be stubbornly self-indulgent at the best of times, yet fans still held out hope that he might dust off a few of his best-known tunes on this tour, with his long-standing band, Crazy Horse.

Confoundedly, Courtney follows this negativism with back-handed, begrudging praise without the least bit of self awareness of the flawed logic and irony therein. sigh. Courtney writes:

Soon it was back to the long jam-outs on Ramada Inn, from the new album, and the very pedestrian Fuckin’ Up. In fairness, Young is a cracking lead guitarist, and he has a telepathic rapport with his Crazy Horse bandmates. You won’t hear better jamming this side of a Grateful Dead tour. But at this stage everybody was feeling the guitar solo fatigue, and by the time Young tossed the crowd a sweet treat in the form of Cinnamon Girl, it was too late. The chance to bond with one of rock’s towering heroes was lost.

For many, The Grateful Dead once represented the ultimate concert experience. To have one's jams compared favorably to The Grateful Dead's long, jazzy, trippy jams is the supreme compliment. Furthermore, anyone notice the title of Neil Young & Crazy Horse's latest album? "Psychedelic Pill". Try maybe playing the album before attending your next Neil concert, maybe? That way, when Neil and The Horse hit stride with long, jazzy, improvised, trippy jams, they won't be surprised and shocked.

Of course -- as we've been thru a thousand times before on the subject of The Unbearable Lightness of Being Neil Young -- the more self-indulgent Neil is, the better. This is where the 15-20 minute "Walk Like Giant", "Cortez The Killer" or "Like a Hurricane" come from. This is what real fans want. Extended jams and experimentally challenging fare.

We've talked about before about how a Neil Young concert is almost like being part of performance artist workshop (see Expecting to See Neil Young) or how to handle the disconnect of false expectations (see The Agony & The Ecstasy: Neil Young in Concert) or whether Neil fans can ever let go of their biases and prejudices (see A Battle Raged on the Open Page: Can You Change Your Mind?).

As we commented along the way, the extreme range of reaction indicates that it was a perfect Neil Young concert. With both acoustic & electric, quiet & soft, new & old songs, that's what Neil's concerts have practically always been. A little something for everyone, if you will. Again, a near perfect setlist and not some random grab bag.

Anyone remember back in 1982 Neil & The Shocking Pinks and the Doo-Wop sets? Talk about outraged audiences. We still clearly remember some dude bellowing "Southern Man" at the top of their lungs during all of the Pinks' rockabilly tunes.

So how can one man perform a concert and folks come away with such diametrically opposed opinions? That is the mystery & beauty of Neil.

Lastly, one of the near universal complaints from the doubters is the extended feedback endings. Not everyone's cup of tea, for sure. And we can understand how this doesn't translate well in a large auditorium when you're sitting far from the stage. But if you're right up close to the stage and watching the sonic techniques used to emit the squeals, peels, distortions and feedback, than you can understand the artistry.

For us, this is the pinnacle moment of the Alchemy tour -- the "Walk Like Giant" finale meltdown.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2012 Alchemy tour, Philadelphia, 11/29/12
Neil in all of his whacked out grunged, ragged glory.

Like we said, the extended feedback endings are not everyone's cup of tea. But enough of what we think. What do you think? More or less feedback?



Stand & Be Counted!

As for us? We just ask the question ‘Are You Passionate?’? If not, fine. walk on.
