The recent posts on  RARE PHOTO: Paul & Linda McCartney w/ Neil Young - Rotterdam 1976 and The Story Behind The Photographer: Paul & Linda McCartney with Neil Young by Gijsbert Hanekroot, elicited quite a flurry of comments on all sorts of subjects including the relationships between Neil Young, Linda Eastman McCartney, Paul McCartney and their daughter Stella McCartney.

The Thrasher's Wheat Comment of the Moment from  RARE PHOTO: Paul & Linda McCartney w/ Neil Young - Rotterdam 1976 by Ron:

Ah Thrasher you are stirring some memories for me with this Rare photo of Neil with Paul and Linda. 

Looks like Ralph and Poncho too - can't see Billy. Less than 10 days later I attended the Neil and Crazy Horse show in Glasgow, and six months previously I had seen Paul and Linda on the Wings tour in Dundee. I have commented on the 76 Glasgow show before, and it remains my all time favourite concert experience, but the Wings show was a great experience too. They played quite a few Beatles songs too as well as the Wings material. The crowd all surged to the front at some point and I remember standing and swaying on seats just a few rows back from the stage as the encores were played. Great memories.

A couple of years back I attended the Linda McCartney Retrospective exhibition and really enjoyed it. She certainly mixed with a lot of 60s/70s musicians and there are some great shots of them including Neil. There were also a lot of family shots of her with Paul and their kids where you see them just living normally and having fun. 

I see from her website that the exhibition is going to be in Tucson from February - if anyone is in the area I'd recommend checking it out.

Thanks for Comment of the Moment Ron.

And thanks for steering the conversation back to the subject at hand: the very long running relationships between Neil Young, Linda Eastman McCartney, Paul McCartney and their daughter Stella McCartney and its deep significance -- musically and otherwise.
