WEBCAST: Voodoo Fest, New Orleans, Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Oct. 26

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

From Neil Young and Crazy Horse showed the kids how it's done at Voodoo Fest | The Times-Picayune | NOLA.com By Keith Spera:

Neil Young & Crazy Horse looked like the guys who constructed Voodoo Fest’s main stage. Instead, they were the guys who deconstructed it.

Young, bassist Billy Talbot, drummer Ralph Molina and rhythm guitarist Frank “Poncho” Sampedro muscled through two exhilarating hours of especially stout guitar rock. If Gary Clark Jr. was a fighter jet at Voodoo, Crazy Horse was a squadron of B-52 bombers.

...

At 11 p.m., as an encore of “Like a Hurricane” blew itself out, Young sacrificed his guitar. He tore off the strings, scratching them against the instrument’s pickups to produce more distortion. As the guitar lay prone, he contemplated it and nudged it with his foot, as if to see whether it was really dead.

It was.

In one of the greatest Voodoo sets to date, Young, abetted by Crazy Horse, played it to death.

PSYCHEDELIC PILL Streaming

UPDATE: OK, we got it working now. The plugin install requires rebooting.

***

It would seem some folks are having trouble with the PSYCHEDELIC PILL stream on neilyoung.com.

We have only made one attempt thus far without luck. We admit we were a bit thrown on our 1st try by the statement "To get a tutorial on how to install Java, click here". We have Java running (like most folks running various common apps) so didn't realize this required a special plugin called Orastream.

So we downloaded Orastream and installed but no streaming audio yet. It may require browser restart or re-boot?

How about others?

It seems folks Internationally are having trouble, as well.

Let us know what browsers are working and any other helpful tips in comments below.

Today, Neil Young took questions from fans on Twitter and it was quite amusing. As we all know, Neil Young is considered to be a "Social Networking Genius" who has always been ahead of the curve while behind the 8 ball.

Neil's Twitter session made some news and seems to have been a huge hit in the Twitter-verse. At one point, the hashtag #AskNeil trended up to the #2 position.

(Click photo to enlarge)Another Photo of the Moment from this weekend's Bridge School Benefit Concert 2012.

In the stranger than fiction category, Guns n Roses' Axl Rose and Neil Young performed "Don't Let It Bring You Down" together at the Sunday Bridge School Benefit Concert (Oct. 21, 2012). After completing the song, Axl said: “This is a song that always gave me some hope through the years and we asked Neil if we could do it.”

The pairing of Axl and Neil, marks another chapter in the varied musical intersections of Neil Young over the years. Or as we like to call it: "Six degrees of separation from Neil."

The Photo of the Moment is from this weekend's Bridge School Benefit Concert 2012.

At the end of the Saturday concert, all performers were invited onstage for the encore of "Rockin' in the Free World". At some point, (possibly because of Lukas Nelson's enthusiasm?) Neil Young handed is guitar over to Lukas Nelson to finish off the song.

Lukas Nelson (Willie's son) took to Neil's guitar with wild abandon -- at Neil's joyous encouragement -- to finish out the night with the ensemble musicians spread across the stage including Eddie Vedder, Wayne Coyne, Gary Clark Jr., Foster the People, members of Jack White band, Reggie Watts, Pegi Young and many more.

A dramatic conclusion to a special day of music.

All for a good cause. More on Bridge School Benefit Concert 2012.
