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.
Paul McCartney and Neil Young have had quite a few interesting musical encounters over the years.

As
with so many things, it's hard to say when and where Paul McCartney and
Neil Young became acquainted and developed a musical friendship. It
turns out that even many Beatles fans are often surprised by the depth
and endurance of the relationship.
We consider Linda Eastman to be the key link between Paul McCartney and Neil Young.
Photo of Neil Young by Linda McCartney - 1968
Linda
Eastman -- who went on to become Ms. Paul McCartney -- photographed
Neil Young in 1967. A photo from the session was used for the cover of
Young's Sugar Mountain, a live recording from the Canterbury House, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 9th & 10th November 1968.
While
very little is known of the photo session in 1967, it was understood
that Linda had a great appreciation for Young's music until her death in
1998.
In
March 1999, Neil Young inducted former Beatle Paul McCartney into the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. During Neil's induction speech he said:
"The first song I learned to play was a Beatles song -- "Give Me Money, That's What I Want". Paul McCartney is one of the greatest songwriters ever. He'll be remembered hundreds of years from now."
Paul McCartney & Neil Young at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
After Neil handed Paul the Hall of Fame statue, Paul commented: "Thank you all. I love Neil!"
At
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, Neil Young's display
contains a telegram that he received from Paul and Linda McCartney in
1979. It read:
Neil, Linda and I have been listening to Live Rust over and over, side four kicks ass. Lotta Love, Paul
(Thanks Larry B.!)
On
October 16, 2004, Neil and Paul joined forces to benefit
Adopt-A-Minefield which raises awareness of land mines. Held in Los
Angeles at the Century Plaza Hotel, Neil Young played an acoustic set of
"Pocahontas," "Harvest Moon," "Heart of Gold," "On The Way Home,"
"Human Highway," "Old King," and "Four Strong Winds". Pegi joined on
vocals.
Later, Paul McCartney brought Neil onstage for "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" and the show closing "Hey Jude."
McCartney said:
"We have a bit of fun but, as you can see, we do a lot of good along the way. That's one of the magic things ... When
you've worked hard and you've had a lot of luck, you get to a position,
where Neil and I are at, you can do a little bit more. It's a magic
thing."
A week later, Paul returned the favor by performing at Neil's annual Bridge School Benefit Concert, which educates children with severe speech and physical impairments.
The
2 day benefit concerts in October 2004, with Paul McCartney, Tony
Bennett, Neil Young and many other artists, was received
enthusiastically by both fans and critics.
"Though
his voice was a bit rusty, McCartney was his old self, throwing arms in
the air after nearly every song and hamming it up whenever possible. He
brought out Young for "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," which was a bit
bumpy as McCartney tried keeping up with a tune with which he wasn't
completely familiar. He went back to his strengths, through "Yesterday,"
"Get Back," "Let it Be," "Lady Madonna" and show-closer "Hey Jude."
Unlike recent years, nearly all the musicians hung around for the obligatory ending. You
could see the excitement, even on the faces of veterans, in sharing the
stage with McCartney, making it one of the rare all-star jams worth the
wait."
Paul McCartney and Neil Young encore for "A Day in the Life"
During
the last year of the tour, Young would conclude each concert with an
absolutely over the top cover of the Beatles "A Day in the Life" which
left his guitar in shreds in a wall of feedback at the song's
conclusion.
About half way through "A Day in the Life", out
walked Paul McCartney onstage to the astonishment of the 50,000 in the
crowd. Those who attended, remarked that when McCartney's image first
appeared on the giant video screens, a jolt of electricity went thru the
crowd in anticipation of witnessing history.
What's
interesting to note in the photos above and video below, is who is in
awe of who. It would seem that McCartney's bows to Young in a "we are
not worthy" pose indicate who is in the presence of the master.
"What follows is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen Neil Young play,
a full-on sonic rupture, two hours of unforgiving and unforgettable
guitar distortion, seismic upheaval, deafening detonations, feedback
rapture, wave after wave after crashing wave of noise, uplifting and
triumphant, the kind of thing that tears vents in the atmosphere,
disarranging the senses, wholly transcendent, an often savage aural
maelstrom out of which emerges finally a charred beauty, that old ragged
glory that is oft-mentioned in talk of Neil, his music and the way he
plays it.
Tonight it reaches climax after teasing climax,
ecstatic and deranged and after a while just exhilaratingly hilarious,
Neil grinning madly as he comes back for one more chorus, and then
another and another after that, no one by now wanting the thing to be
put to bed, the delirium palpable.
And
he’s not done yet and tops even this with what’s become a formidable
version of “A Day In The Life”, a song long-regarded by many as
something no one in their right mind would think of playing live,
including you might think Paul McCartney, who’s been standing at the
side of the stage, but is within minutes at the microphone with Neil,
arm around Neil’s shoulder, clearly euphoric, the crowd a-roaring.
McCartney, now that things have moved on to a guitar-shredding
instrumental section seems at a bit of a loss, not sure quite what to
do, a problem he solves by waving his arms in the air, grinning wildly,
dancing like someone who’s just been introduced to his feet and having a
grand old time and then clawing at the strings of Neil’s guitar.
It’s an amazing moment, and an amazing end to an amazing show.

And as we presciently speculated in 2016,
yes, we did indeed get the Paul McCartney and Neil Young mashup we all hoped for at Desert Trip.
Maybe not exactly as expected (we thought Paul would walk onto Neil's
set for "A Day In The Life"), but even beyond our wildest speculations.
After Neil joined Paul for "A Day In The Life" they went straight into
John Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance" followed by a rare "Why Don't We Do
It In The Road?". Are we lucky and blessed or what?!
"The God's set list... Neil, you make me miss my mum" x Stella
Sorry for the delayed "report" -- I was at the festival all day Sunday and then had to drive back to LAX and then fly back home, so honestly the last thing on my mind was letting everyone in the internet know about Neil's set on Saturday!
Neil started about 15 minutes late. The set times that DT sent out said 615pm, but he didn't start until about 630pm. That was a bummer to me, because I was hoping he'd start on time and get a 2.5 hour set in. The timing, in general all weekend, was clearly around "start at sunset" and "end by midnight".
This was my 4th show in 2016 -- if I had to rank them, it'd be impossible because JazzFest was so weird and Rome was so awesome because I was in Italy seeing Neil... but I felt like maybe this was the "worst" of the bunch setlist wise.. but only behind Rome in terms of energy, fun, etc.
I am kind of done with the acoustic opener stuff, but I get it and I know a lot of people love it. That said, Mother Earth continues to be awesome on the pump organ. When he sat down at the organ, the big screens flipped to a view from behind him... looking out over 80,000 people... with the sun setting in the distance behind the mountains and palm trees.. and it was absolutely perfect. That camera guy deserves a high five for realizing how perfect it was from that vantage and sharing it with the entire festival!
I thought the 4 new songs were pretty good, though the Texas Rangers song is a bit of a throwaway in my opinion. Kind of reminds me of Cough Up The Bucks or something.I loved that Neil didn't play guitar on a bunch and was just "one of the band" ripping harmonica solos as his instrumental duties. I look forward to the studio versions of all of these songs!
Someone yelled out for DBTR... and Neil acknowledged the guy, basically saying "yeah yeah, Down By The River? We'll get to it when we're good and ready". No clue if it was on the setlist or not, but I'm sure that guy's year was made. I've seen Neil do DBTR with Crazy Horse, most recently in 2012 at ACL Fest, and this version was way more ferocious and energetic.
Neil made some crack about it being "the year of the man" or something. Obviously a sarcastic joke about Trump's misogyny and chauvinism, but it just seemed awkward. He also said "Roger is going to build a beautiful wall tomorrow night for us... Make Mexico Great Again!" which got a nice cheer and laugh out of the crowd.
The Welfare Mothers intro, referencing it as Trump's new campaign theme song, was amusing... and he and Lukas "argued" about how they hadn't done it correctly live yet and who was to blame, etc.
Oh and that moment when he joined Paul later on? Jesus it was awesome. I knew it was coming when I saw the big red pedal board being lugged onto the stage, but most around me in the pit had no clue who Paul's "friend" was going to be. A Day In The Life was good -- Neil was like a kid in a candy shop with a huge grin, but it seemed kind of stilted performance wise. That said, I also didn't think it was so hot a few years ago (judging by the YouTube versions I watched). The novelty was more interesting than the actual performances.. but then "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" is teased with Paul saying that Neil is going to have to solo. And Neil acting like "Oh really? You want me to solo? SHOCKING, MAN!"... and they ripped into it and Neil owned the solo. It was mind blowingly cool. And the fact that Paul says things like "I love that boy" when talking about Neil? Awesome. So awesome. These two really do love playing together and seem like there's nothing forced about it.
I'm not sure what else I can write up about the show. I first saw Neil, a few days before I went to college, in 1996 with my Dad. I'm so fortunate to have the financial resources at the moment to have done this in 2016.
Thanks Pabst! great review. No apologies needed.
Glad you've had such a great Neil year. New Orleans, Rome, Indio. Quite a roll there.
On to Weekend #2! Predictions? Maybe Paul joins Neil for his set?
During the last year of the tour, Young would conclude each concert with an absolutely over the top cover of the Beatles "A Day in the Life" which left his guitar in shreds in a wall of feedback at the song's conclusion.
About half way through "A Day in the Life", out walked Paul McCartney onstage to the astonishment of the 50,000 in the crowd.

I was there!! This was such an incredible night... Neil really enjoyed the crowd, the crowd adored him, singing along to clearly the most mainstream songs for this festival crowd but Neil knew it ("here's another one for ya" - he said before playing Old Man, after Heart of Gold). The crowd were all NY maniacs. From my POV, seeing this was so wonderful, as being a young NY fan I rarely bump into other young fans but there were a whole variety of people loving Neil tonight.
And the Paul McCartney guest spot... Neil did a phenomenal version of "Rockin' in the Free World" that carried on and on and made the crowd go absolutely insane, then closed the show. Then they all returned for the encore, but Neil walked off to the other side of the stage, hidden in the right hanger, but we could see he was talking to someone and I had the feeling it was Paul - looked like his head shape (strange wording there) and the way he was flailing his arms around. Then "A Day in the Life" began... and I think it was into the second verse, thatPaul came on stage and I swear, this whole rush ran across the audience, and every second was golden! Neil and Paul were goofing around on stage too, Paul gave Neil a great hug, they baby-ed around on the xylophone, Neil thrashed on Old Black with some assistance from Paul... but Paul always pointing to Neil, to message somehow that "this is the legend, this is the true legend." Crazy, crazy moment. Never forget! I recorded the whole thing so hopefully will upload it soon!

"Only Love Can Break Your Heart" - Paul McCartney with Neil Young
But the performance that brought the crowd to its feet and seemed to capture the rock and roll spirit of the early Beatles came from Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Mr. Young, his long grey hair spilling out from under his white hat, launched into “I Saw Her Standing There” in a loose, free style, letting the guitars ring as he sang the teenage anthem with a snarl and launched into a post-modern guitar solo in which the melody jumped, stuttered and seemed to cry out in pain. Simply put, the song rocked, sounding as if it could have been recorded yesterday.
“Paul!” Mr. Young said after he finished, raising his hand in a salute, while the crowd applauded wildly.
Crazy Horse and Neil Young
"I Saw Her Standing There"
Earlier in the week, Paul McCartney received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"Let me tell you a little bit about our friend Paul here just as a musician," said Young, wearing a black leather Buffalo Springfield tour jacket. "When I was in high school and the Beatles came out, I loved the Beatles and I tried to learn how to play like them, and no one could figure out what Paul was doing on the bass. Not only was he playing differently because he plays left-handed, he played notes that no one had put together before -- in a way that made us stand in awe of this great musician."
Young said McCartney, 69, was "at the top of his game, he said, adding: "Like Charlie Chaplin was a great actor, that's how I look at Paul.
"Yet even with all of that craft that he has and his ability to put melodies and chords and feelings together, it's the soul that comes out of his music that makes me feel so good and so happy to be here with him ... today," he said.
Paul McCartney: Year 3116 and Neil Young: Year 1947 - A Tale of Two Artists
Paul McCartney's latest music video 'Appreciate' is quite revealing for us -- while creepily instructive.
The video is "Presented by Microsoft", takes place in the Year 3116 and introduces Newman the Robot (as in "New Man"). Newman the Robot is touring a human museum in a future where presumably humans no longer exist. Newman is drawn to the McCartney exhibit and ultimately they join together in dance.
Paul McCartney and Newman the Robot
(Click photo to enlarge)
So we pose the following question: Which artist is using technology most creatively?
While this might seem a like a cute little game to play, consider how much of peers Paul McCartney and Neil Young are in their long history together. And consider how much the artists are taking two very different paths today in 2014.
Clearly, Young is on another of his journeys through the past and excursions into alien -- yet familiar -- territory. Using a 1947 Voice O'Graph recording booth for his latest album A Letter Home, some have observed that it's "so archaic, it’s cutting edge".
On the other hand, McCartney's video featuring happily interacting humans and robots seems to further a dystopian future vision known as "Transhumanism":
"The technological singularity, or simply the singularity, is a hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence will have progressed to the point of a greater-than-human intelligence, radically changing civilization, and perhaps human nature. Because the capabilities of such an intelligence may be difficult for a human to comprehend, the technological singularity is often seen as an occurrence beyond which the future course of human history is unpredictable or even unfathomable."
Neil Young performs "Needle of Death" in vintage recording booth
So to recap, McCartney and Microsoft are working together on robot technology. Neil Young and Jack White are working together on vinyl recording technology.
Speaking about Newman, McCartney said: "I woke up one morning with an image in my head of me standing with a large robot. I thought it might be something that could be used for the cover of my album NEW but instead the idea turned out to be for my music video for 'Appreciate'. Together with the people who had done the puppetry for the worldwide hit War Horse we developed the robot who became Newman."
Year 2014 - Paul McCartney Pulled from the Past into the Future
Year 1982 - Neil Young Pulled from the Future into the Past
(Out of the Blue, Into the Black)
Newman was also planned to join Paul McCartney on this Japan leg of his tour, which has just been postponed. (Get well soon Paul!)
And Crazy Horse will be joining Neil Young on his Europe tour leg this summer after postponing last year (Glad you're well Poncho!)
This photo, shot by my friend Lzbth Corinthians from the side of the stage during the song Day In The Life, captured one of the truly epic moments in the live concert career of Neil Young.
Day in the Life is one of the Beatles most famous songs, and Neil & His Electric Band covered it regularly throughout tours in 2008 & 2009. The band truly did the song justice, always a show-stopping moment.....
......and then all hell broke loose in Hyde Park when one of the giant legends of Rock, Paul McCartney, the former Beatle, decided to (randomly??) saunter on stage and join Neil & Co. The video is posted here, and you can see Paul run on-stage at 2:45: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6SSR3YY-rc (I *think* Lzbth's great shot was snapped right around the 3-min, 24-sec mark in the video - btw, why do i care?! doh!).
I've always wondered if Paul just randomly joined Neil onstage or if this was a planned moment. Regardless, it's simply outrageous! A Beatle on his home turf, London, treating the fans to a masterpiece. Neil, meanwhile, is an absolute madman throughout, howling to the Rock Gods, completely lost in the moment of.......music.
So ridiculously perfect words don't do it justice. On that note, I'll stop talking.
Thanks Lzbth & Bernie!
More on commentary on the day Paul walked onstage and surprised Neil at Hyde Park, London, UK - June 27, 2009. Here's a comment by insidetherain who said...

Crazy, crazy moment. Never forget! I recorded the whole thing so hopefully will upload it soon!
As part of the festivities, Neil Young accompanied Paul McCartney to Capitol Records in Los Angeles, California and introduced Paul at the Walk of Fame ceremony.
Paul McCartney and Neil Young have had quite a few interesting musical encounters over the years. (See Paul McCartney and Neil Young.)
This weekend, Paul McCartney was honored as the 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year by an array of musical stars in Los Angeles.
Among the many musicians paying tribute to the former Beatle, Neil Young & Crazy Horse reunited for their first gig together since the 2003/4 Greendale tour.
By all indications, the reunion of Crazy Horse was the musical highlight of the evening in which there were many.
