Movie Reviews of Neil Young - Heart of Gold
Movie Review: MY NEW FAVORITE CONCERT DVD.....A FABULOUS PERFORMANCE BY NEIL YOUNG
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD has fast become one of my FAVORITE Concert DVD's. Although I have not had much exposure to Mr. Young's music, after viewing this DVD, I have become a fan and have added several of his CD's to my extensive collection of music. I had remembered the song "Heart Of Gold" which had been a FAV song of mine for many years. While viewing this DVD, I felt a great deal of emotion being put forth in every song. Mr. Young's perfomance was WONDERFUL and I have enjoyed viewing this Concert for just about the 75th time I've watched it. This DVD has not left my DVD player in the two months that I have owned it. The 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound quality is EXCELLENT. I LOVE all the songs and I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is a longtime fan or who just loves great music and a WONDERFUL and honest performance. Thank you Mr. Young for a very enjoyable Concert performance. I will continue to be a fan for many years to come :)Movie Review: Comes A Time
Summary: 5 Stars
This concert film is a complete and total delight! If you know the background of this concert, then you know that Neil Young was soon to have brain surgery for an annurism when he opted to stage this event at the famed Ryman Auditorium. The players and singers he gathered for the event perform flawlessly and Jonathan Demme's direction is seamless. As for Neil himself, his singing is in top form and because of his life threatening condition, there's an aura of being 'in the moment' in his eyes and in some of his comments between songs. The first half of the concert is a showcase for songs from his new recording, PRAIRIE WIND. The second half is made up of many of his best songs from his acoustic repertoire, including HEART OF GOLD, OLD MAN, NEEDLE AND THE DAMAGE DONE, HARVEST MOON and even I AM A CHILD from his days with Buffalo Springfield. I've seen many, many concert films over the years and this one is as good as it gets........Movie Review: Beautiful and Touching
Summary: 5 Stars
Just like the album that it accompanies, Heart of Gold (the dvd) is beautiful, touching, and intimate. Neil is a great performer, as I've always known from his superb live releases such as Rust Never Sleeps, Live Rust, and Weld. What one gets from this film though is more than just live performances. Neil himself is very endearing; he is passionate about his craft and his songs really mean a lot to him. Neil Young has never been in it for the money or fame, he is in love with the music. Many great artists seem to take on the aura of a God or mythical creature or such; Neil does no such thing in this film though, he looks utterly human and vulnerable, yet in his case this is not a shortcoming but rather something that makes him all the more vital and gives his songs even more impact. We've always known that Neil makes great music, but seeing him perform in such an intimate setting significantly enhances the experience.Movie Review: Essential Neil Young
Summary: 5 Stars
As I write, the "Heart of Gold" DVD plays in the background for about the twentieth time. I have thusfar been unable to tire of it. Neil Young, surrounded by good friends and family, delivers two superb concert performances. The music is symphony-like, with the accompaniment of background vocals( Emmylou Harris),stringed instruments, and brass instruments. As he discloses the genesis of his music, Young sings of things with which we can all relate( e.g.,the passing of his father,and his love of his daughter). This DVD is a must for fans of Neil Young. As a son of the Prairie, the "Prairie Wind" songs captured me. With the addition of earlier music such as "Comes A Time", "Harvest Moon", and " One of These Days", this makes for great viewing and listening. Neil Young delivers the music with heart-felt emotion. This excellent DVD introduced me to Ian Tyson's music as an added bonus. Don't let this pass you by.Movie Review: A Living Legend, Live
Summary: 5 Stars
In the summer of '05, Neil Young, having just survived a close call with a brain aneurysm, performed two concerts at Nashville's famed Ryman Auditorium. Documented here, the concerts premiered Young's most recent, and critically acclaimed release, Prairie Wind, followed by many classics from the gentler compartment of his massive, magnificent catalog. From the opening interview snippets to the final scene of Neil Young alone on stage, Jonathan Demme, as one would expect, has created a masterpiece, a film suitable to its subject. No two-second ADD camera work here, this wonderful film was shot with the same grace, intelligence and intimacy as the music Young and his friends--including Emmylou Harris!--perform. I saw this film four times while it was in town, and now I can't wait for the DVD release. Don't miss this (literally) glowing tribute to one of rock/blues/folk/country's genuine icons.
