RARE: "Cowboy Movie" (instrumental) w/ Neil Young and PERRO (1971)

Here is a rare version of what has come to be known as "Cowboy Movie", an instrumental song from David Crosby's 1971 project called PERRO.

PERRO or more formally known as the Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra, featured Neil Young among many other major artists, such as:

David Crosby
Jerry Garcia
Neil Young
Phil Lesh
Paul Kantner
Jorma Kaukonen
Gregg Rolie
Jack Casady
Mike Shrieve
Mickey Hart
David Frieburg
Grace Slick
Joni Mitchell
Graham Nash
Laura Allen
Bill Krueztman
Steve Stills

The Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra (PERRO) recorded at Wally Heider Studios, San Francisco during 1971. There is some degree of controversy on whether this is Neil Young or Jerry Garcia on the guitar solos. We hear hints of "Down by the River" and Ol Black that seem unmistakably Neil and not Jerry.

The instrumental song known colloquially as "Cowboy Movie" and posted here on YouTube is actually the opening credits scenes from the classic "Once Upon A Time In The West" by Italian / "Spaghetti Western" Director Sergio Leone. The film stars Claudia Cardinale, Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, Charles Bronson, Gabriele Ferzetti, among others.
