Neil Young's "Song of the Moment" is "Are You Ready The Country?" with the Stray Gators from the "In the Barn" footage shot on September 26, 1971.
The "Song of the Moment" is a daily feature on the Neil Young Archives. Neil seems to be digging into the "Barn Sessions" recorded on his Broken Arrow Ranch for the Harvest album. We posted recently on Neil Young Remembers "The Innocence": WORDS with a playback of the "Words" song in a field on his ranch Broken Arrow filmed by cinematographer David Myers.

Excellent,excellent,excellent!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Thrashers
Amazing footage! Is that from the anthology DVDs?
ReplyDeleteI have a videotape of Neil on 'Austin City Limits' - 1984. Here is the setlist (couldn't find an online video, the one link I found led to a page that said 'video deleted').

Anyway, 'Are You Ready For the Country' opens the set and it is a great version, including a Cajun-style fiddler.
Gold..."MORE BARN"!
ReplyDeleteCool footage, never seen that before, so neat to see the great Jack Nitzsche doing his thing with Neil.
ReplyDeleteOne nitpick, though. The song is titled Are You Ready For The Country, just saying.....
Great footage. I've never seen this video before and I have loved that tune since my teens. I remember seeing Journey Through The Past and just assumed Ben was playing slide.
ReplyDeleteAnyway-keep up the great work Thrasher...you are appreciated !
Someone needs to compile a list of all the songs of the day. I think they are beginning to repeat already!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Love to see a list as well as Neil's comments on each
