Neil Young - Greendale (live) Part One

                                      Tweeter Center, Camden, New Jersey July 2, 2003

Greendale is the 27th studio album by Neil Young. Young and Crazy Horse's Greendale is a 10-song musical novel^[12] set in a fictional California seaside town of the same name. Based on the saga of the Green family, Greendale combines numerous themes on corruption, observation of the passing of time, environmentalism and mass media consolidation.

                                                                  Falling From Above

 Neil Young’s “Falling from Above” is a song that reaches into the heart of the American dream and finds it faltering under the weight of time and change. At first listen, the song may seem like a simple story about the Green family, but dig a little deeper, and it becomes clear that Young is painting a picture of an America at a crossroads.(SongLexicon)

Neil Young -Greendale (Part Two)

                                       Tweeter Center Camden, New Jersey  July 2, 2003

 Greendale is the 27th studio album by Neil Young. Young and Crazy Horse's Greendale is a 10-song musical novel^[12] set in a fictional California seaside town of the same name. Based on the saga of the Green family, Greendale combines numerous themes on corruption, observation of the passing of time, environmentalism and mass media consolidation.

                                                                         Carmichael     

Young recorded the album between July and September 2002 at his Broken Arrow Ranch. The sessions were produced by Young and filmmaker L. A. Johnson. The sessions feature Young on guitar, organ and harmonica backed only by drummer Ralph Molina and bassist Billy Talbot of longtime collaborators Crazy Horse. Unlike other works credited to the band, it does not feature a rhythm guitarist. Frank "Poncho" Sampedro does not appear on the album but did perform with the group during the album's tour

                                                                                 Bandit

 Young recorded each song as he wrote it, beginning with "Devil's Sidewalk". "The songs started to unravel, I saw the story, what happened next. I wrote the songs one at a time and recorded each one before I'd write the next one. The songs just happened. First thing in the morning, I'd pick up a guitar, play two or three chords and go, 'That's the blueprint. That's what my soul told me, so that's what it is.' Then I'd go to the studio. I would write the words, without guitar, in my car. I'd keep stopping on the way – write two verses, go a hundred yards, stop, write some more. I kept moving, and writing, until I got to the studio. Whatever I had then, that was the song. "Devil's Sidewalk" – the recording is the first time I sang it, the first time the band had ever heard it."

                                                                     Grandpa's Interview

Young did not start with an overall premise and write the songs to fit the overall story, but rather wrote each song one by one, and the overall story emerged from the individual songs themselves.  "I simply started writing. I don't know exactly what happened. I've never written songs with characters in them before. I simply wrote a song and then thought: 'Hey, that's interesting.' And then I wrote another song. In the first song, I found it exciting that there were characters with names, that conversed.

                                             Bring Down The Diner

 he next day I wrote a new song with the same characters.""I just let it out. I never tried to make things fit together or anything. I just kept on going. Luckily I could jump from character to character and so continuity wasn't that important. And I found out later that the continuity was golden all the way through."

                                                             Sun Green/Be The Rain

  A contemporary review of the album by The Guardian succinctly rehashes the album's storyline as follows: "Grandpa Green is an ornery patriarch who finds himself in the media spotlight when his great-nephew Jed accidentally shoots a cop. Grandpa then suffers a fatal heart attack while fending off a reporter. The death somehow prompts his granddaughter Sun to become an eco-warrior, until FBI surveillance prompts her to leave Greendale for good."

Spoetnik is een mooi ,nog vrij nieuw theatertje in het hartje van Vlissingen. Ik zag hier eerder het optreden van Jeffrey Halford voor te weinig publiek.Deze keer zat de zaal lekker vol voor het optreden van Chip Taylor en John Platania

  Joan Joan Joan

Twee toch vrij legendarische figuren op het podium,Chip Taylor componist van wereldhits als "Wild Thing" Angel Of The Morning" ën nummers geschreven voor artiesten als Willie Nelson,The Hollies,
Janis Joplin,Waylon Jennings en vele anderen.

John Platania ken ik uiteraard van zijn werk met Van Morrison ,speelde op verscheidene albums mee en was lang met hem op tournee.Een zeer herkenbaar gitaargeluid,

Angel Of The Morning

Geschreven voor Eva Sands ,maar ook opgenomen door o.a  MerrIlee Rush and the Turnabouts,Juice Newton,Olivia Newton John,Nina Simone,Bonny Taylor,The Pretenders.
In 2001 ontving Chip Taylor een Gouden Plaat en een certificaat voor 6 miljoen maal airplay op de radio voor de single Angel of the Morning, van auteursrechten organisatie BMI

Behalve singer/songwriter is Chip ook een echte verhalenverteller,Neemt ruimt de tijd om zijn songs toe te lichten,en mooie anektdotes over zijn gezinsleven en familie.Chip is de broer van acteur John Voigt en beroemde geoloog Barry Voigt ,en ook nog de oom van Angelie Jolie,genoeg stof dus..

 Big River (Johnny Cash)

 Naast het componeren had Chip ook nog een andere passie,professioneel gokken,Heeft dat zo,n 20 jaar gedaan ,de muziek kwam op de tweede plaats,Pas in 1993 pakte hij de draad weer op,mede door een telefoontje uit Nederland.Hij had er nog een mooi verhaal bij over een optreden in Eindhoven De ingehuurde begeleidingsband liet het om de een of andere reden afweten,volle zaal ,paniek dus .Maar de band uit het voorprogramma bleek ook de songs van Chip te kennen,probleem opgelost.Hij heeft de naam van de band nog genoemd maar ben hem vergeten.

     F..k Up The Perfect People

Geen "Wild Thing" waar iedereen toch min of meer zat te wachten,De avond werd besloten met een lied over vluchtelingkinderen  die Chip in Noorwegen was tegengekomen.Hartverscheurend mooi,op een manier zoals alleen Chip Taylor dat kan.Jammer genoeg geen filmpje van, maar een prachtig einde van een mooie avond.

  Chip Taylor werd vorig jaar, samen met Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Marvin Gaye en Nile Rodgers en Bernard Edwards van Chic opgenomen in de Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City.

A remastered and remixed version of Dayna Kurtz’s debut ‘Postcards from Downtown’ (2002) has been released on CD/Vinyl.

 Dayna herself was involved in the creation of the new mix and, for example, made sure that the backing vocals of Woodstock legend Richie Havens were no longer shortened or omitted, as was the case on the original version of the album.
