NOW PLAYING: "People On The Street" Music Video - Hearse Theater | NYA


"People On The Street" ‏Music Video by Neil Young
Director - Tim Pope

The music video "People On The Street" from‏ Neil Young's 1986 album “Landing on Water” is now playing on Movie Night in the Hearse Theater | NYA.

Tim Pope is the director of numerous highly acclaimed 1980's Neil Young music videos such as "Wonderin'", "Touch the Night", and "Weight Of The World".

From "Landing on Water" by Neil Young: Incredibly Underrated | Steve Hoffman Forum
6. People On The Street - An almost hip-hop beat starts off this song, followed by a vomit-inducing keyboard solo. But once that passes you find yourself in another catchy-as-all-heck song on what is supposed to be a bad album. How can an album loaded with such passion be a disappointment? A scale-climbing riff in the chorus is the real treat here, worth sitting though the somewhat unimaginative verses for, even if your pleasure is taken right back from you with the arrival of a weirdly soulful bridge that sounds like it came from an entirely different album. Lyrically, again, not his best, but they can’t all be “Powderfinger”, now can they?

AS it did in the 80's Neil Young, along with other great acts of the 70's, made me cringe when I saw him in these MTV videos. Thank God he doesn't do that anymore. Seemed like groveling so much. His music did suffer to.

Id forgot about People on the Street and this vid. At the time it was like WTF? Is this the same guy I like so much? But for me now its aged well. I had LOW on cassette in my 1970 Barracuda. The video is fun. At the end on those piers is now where the Giants play. AT&T Park.

@ timothy - recall back in the '80's, making videos for MTV was all but expected and required to remain viable.

Frankly, as corny/cheesy as Neil's '80's videos were, they rarely made airplay except for TNFY.

More importantly, Neil made the videos he wanted with the directors he chose. As opposed to following the record label guidance/instructions.

In a way, all of the '80's videos were a Big FU to MTV. TNFY being the biggest. Of course the irony was that MTV banned the video and then turned around and made it video of the year. 1989 as we recall.

@ wsanjose01 - interesting that the area is now a baseball park. It's kind of funny in the video it looks lie a crowd of tourists is watching the video being made. Most likely they had no idea who Neil was.

In Neil-adjacent news, Crosby (and friends) is scheduled to play at the Woodstock 50 festival. A rather eclectic lineup overall. https://www.woodstock.com/

Steve Jordan on drums! Hello. A great album. His best. Lets not forget that Geffen Records sued them for a contemptible effort. Sounded nothing like Neil Young and considered non-commercial.
