I'll wait until I buy it :) I am presently reading his biography'Shakey"-only the second bio I have ever picked up! the other was one on Sir Francis Richard Burton. [He translated The Arabian Nights]

I saw him in concert during his country style period. It was very short lived. Not that great of a concert either.

But man, he's cute.

I saw Neil Young live and it was great. Only problem was that he drew his songs out to long. The concert went on forever. It wouldn of been better if I wasn't sitting in the nose bleed section of a stadium with bad accoustics. Then I could of rocked out!

He is an epiletic and takes the occasional fit onstage.over the years,he has learned to control these seizures and continue playing. That is the source of his endless jamming :) According to the book "Shakey",the drummer is the key to stopping him.

One of the two CD's of his that I really have to buy,and the random cut I just heard was from one of them.He was in a really dark place in his mind when he recorded them. His breakup with Carrie Snodgrass[Time Fades Away] and the death of Danny Wittren[ Tonight's The Night].Had them on vinyl once,and never played them..was going thru some bad stuff myself then. Thanx .Pea :)
