Perhaps the Longest Version of "Cortez the Killer" Ever @ 22 minutes?!

Lots of discussion lately on what constitutes "Classic Crazy Horse". Of course, classic ranges from original Crazy Horse with Danny Whitten all the way to Greendale (not classic). whatev.

Here's an excellent live concert recording of perhaps the longest version of "Cortez the Killer" ever at about 22 minutes.

From Neil Young & Crazy Horse, summer 2001 European Tour. June 21, 2001, Sportpaleis Ahoy, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Cortez was the encore. Complete setlist on Sugar Mountain.

If this isn't the longest version of "Cortez the Killer", then maybe an Old Princeton Landing show (1996-06-14), at 22:30? whatev.

(Thanks Chris R. & Tobias R.!)

Labels: cortez the killer, crazy horse, neil young

You can see/hear it on You Tube: http://youtu.be/abve2atHs68

At 9/05/2012 11:23:00 AM, LRR said...: Hey, Anon? Or perhaps I should call you "Drifting Back".....any other songs on Psychedelic Pill over 10 minutes? If so, how long?

Thanks!!!

"At Uncut HQ, meanwhile, we’re busy finishing off the next issue to a soundtrack mostly of Psychedleic Pill, the new Neil Young and Crazy Horse album, as mentioned here last week, which is even more epic than anticipated, so much music on it that it will be released as a double CD and triple vinyl LP. John has already written about two of the album’s extended jams, “Walk Like A Giant” and “Ramada Inn”, but we’ve also been totally enthralled by the 27 minutes of “Drifting Back”. For a full review, don’t miss next month’s issue." Allan Jones/Uncut Magazine

Walk Like A Giant and Ramada Inn are both over 10 minutes.
