I learned from a cousin who would go to see Peter Gabriel on multiple nights, even if the show was largely the same both nights. The unalloyed “hot ticket,” warts and all.
So you want to look back to your glory days? I’m a huge fan of the archive, the official bootleg. It’s never a question of recapturing that old glory. The music is so simple, but it seems to never sound derivative. Bob Dylan’s latest material knocks me out just as much as his old stuff. And I give the new stuff a chance, but it just lacks the urgency and immediacy of what we got when these artists were young and hungry. Let’s hear it for the old guys who kicked our asses when we were younger! Sure, new music by Bruce Springsteen and Buddy Guy and Neil Young and Steve Hackett and David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler (all my heroes!) just doesn’t hold a candle tho their prior work. Listen to the podcast on Apple and Spotify. Now, with the impending release of his second Archive set that will cover his most vibrant, creative and turbulent period, I give a preview of what will be on the ten-disc release, and also reflect what makes “Shaky” Neil so vital and why this brief period of his massive catalog is so extraordinary.Īs always, thanks you so much for joining me in the MPOMY Escape Pod! Listening to and collecting his work, and seeing his remarkable performances, became a template for how I would approach musical genius. Neil Young is a BIG part of why I love music.
