Movie Reviews of Neil Young - Heart of Gold
Movie Review: It's Only a Dream....
Summary: 5 Stars
When I heard this was being done with Jonathon Demme, I knew it was going to be outstanding. Neil surrounds himself with Pegi, Spooner, Ben, Emmylou, and other old friends. He plays Hank Sr's guitar, which hasn't graced the stage of the Ryman since 1951. They run through most of the songs on Prairie Wind, and Neil gives very personal reasons for writing some of them...I'm not going to spoil that for anyone reading here. After that, they do some older material: I am a Child, Harvest Moon, Old Man, Needle & the Damage Done, Old King, 4 Strong Winds, and an incredible One of These Days. I probably missed a song or 2, and then...the lights go down, and it's just Neil on the stage, no crowd, no bandmates, playing The Old Laughing Lady thru the credits. Was the whole show just a dream of Neil's? Thank you Mr. Demme.Movie Review: Neil Young - Heart of Gold
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who has ever had a favorite/special Neil Young song, or who is a fan of Neil Young...are truly missing out on an opportunity to see him at his "Best". This DVD captures Neil Young in a way I have never experienced. Everything from the interviews, the breaks between songs, to the performances are all mezmerizing. The venue, The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN...is the icing on the cake! The quests singers working as backup performers with Neil on this DVD blend perfectly and the harmony is music at it's perfection.
My husband and I saw this Neil Young DVD several years ago, and have been checking local music stores ever since so we could purchase it, but without success. Thank you Amazon for helping me to locate this "treasure of music"!

Movie Review: "Mr Harmonica Man; his singing is his soul..."
Summary: 5 Stars
Neil Young is the most wonderful story teller who shares his life experiences through his music and song. He has a talent beyond any other and his naturalness in his music brings harmony to the world.
This guy has touched my soul and while listening to "It's Only a Dream" takes me to another place, and it's soooo peaceful!
Neil's music is just so true to life whether it be about his old hound dog King, or a bicycle leaning on a tree or wind blowing through his hair, there's a story in all walks of his life, he's just so amazing!
Let's talk about the movie "Heart of Gold"..."it's just pure brilliance and if you haven't seen it then you are missing out on something very special!"

Movie Review: Gold for Sure
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who saw Johathan Demme's groundbreaking concert documentary Stop Making Sense (1984) should have an eerie feeling of having been there.
This Film continues the tradition of letting the music speak for itself. One simply forgets that they are in a movie theater and simply grooves on musical talent that is nothing short of remarkable. Young recaptures the musical genuis that we've come to know and love. His simple approach to creation of a song, with the help of those who bring out the best in him, make this a musical journey worth taking. The addition of Emmylou Harris and other friends just add to the depth of this performance.
If music can take you places you can't go otherwise (legally), then get on board.
Movie Review: Heart of Gold
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is a treasure. Songs Neil Young has done in the past are filled in with additional instruments and background, as well as all the excellent new songs from Prarie Wind. Neils wife Pegi sings along with Emmy Lou Harris. The version on this DVD of Old Man is just plain as fine as it gets. The thing about this DVD is that almost every song is really great. Usually I will like maybe 2-3 songs out of say 10 on a regular CD. This is much better. The new songs from Prarie wind are terrific. Jonathon Demme's work with the movie end of it is excellent. The sets are beautiful and there are no super quick cuts from one shot to another. I have sent one of these to 4 of my friends. Every time I play it I keep thinking don't end, don't end. Buy it
