As one fan noted*: "A rich recording in a relaxed environment creating a remarkable performance."
Neil plays in the Irish spirit while sipping a pint of Guinness during the concert while giving in depth explanations of each Greendale song. Neil says:
"These songs are about a little town called Greendale and a family that lives there outside of town in a little ranch called the Double E.
The Green family: Earl and Edith Green and their daughter, Sun Green. Sometimes Grandpa and Grandma come by, and Cousin Jed comes by too. They were just sitting on the porch when we dropped in on them for a minute.
The Double E is a ranch just outside of town, about two miles outside of Greendale".
Neil comments on NYA:
"On an acoustic tour of Europe, playing ‘Greendale’ in small halls solo, I was on a unique journey, kind of a storyteller minstrel. Secretly . . . Elliot Roberts hired a crew and shot this show. i had no idea it was being filmed.'Carmichael' clocks in at 10:20, 'Grandpa's Interview' is about 13 minutes and 'Sun Green' is 12:03.
Gotta love Elliot! Without him, we have had no filmed record of this show."
As noted here on TW in 2003, "Inside Greendale" replaced "Live at Vicar Street," the DVD of Neil Young's acoustic concert performance of "Greendale," part of the original two-disc package released in 2003, which also included a CD of the ten original songs that comprise the "Greendale" album.

Is this version different than the one on Movietone page in NYA site?
Happy Birthday Neil.😁😁
Has anyone compared the audio and video quality of this stream against the DVD?
I was at one of these 3 Vicar Street gigs, my first NY gig, it was simply mindblowing to me. that an artist would play a whole new album from start to finish interspersed with context and background, for one hour 45 minutes, remember, no one had ever heard these tracks. then, come back for another hour or so with a selection from the back catalogue. That was my first of many unforgettable NY experiences.
