If you are a true Neil Young fan, this is a must have. The transfer to dvd was masterfully done. This is an incredible performance, and while Neil's library is so extensive, you'll always leave his concerts unfulfilled by not hearing every song you would have love for him to have performed, this one does cover the highlights of his career up to 1979. This is nearly a flawless concert dvd, and I only have one complaint, which has remained true since this concert was originally released. There is a considerable amount of attention on this film to the roadies, which is fine, and they are entertaining. But the noise they make when moving equipment around, I think is recorded too loud, so loud as to be a distraction. This is especially true for 5.1 surround sound, and after you have the set the volume you want to hear the concert in then having to turn that perfect volume down to compensate for the moving noises. This distraction alone keeps this from being his all time best dvd concert release.Read full review
Come on. This is an artest that never sold out to the add execs. When I buy a cd or dvd I try to find one that will give me pleasure when I play it and not just for the first time after which I sell it at a yard sale or use it to throw at beer cans stacked on a log. Neil Young has been with us thru several generation phases boomer,gen x, gen y, and mabey gen next, he has captured the feelings of the times as a sort of bookmark for rescent history.Now I am off to bid on some boot leg Frank Sinatra tapes (realy dirty lyrics).
I enjoyed the concert very much although I wish there had been more of Neil's notable songs on the set. Even though this was billed as a fantasy concert, I just didn't like the long delays involving the Road Eyes. To sum up, I liked the concert but wish more of his greatest hits were on the set, and less of the actors.

I especially enjoyed the "electric" portion of the show. The Live Rust album was my first exposure to Neil Young and I loved it 30 years ago. "Powderfinger" and "Cinnamon Girl" are particular highlights for me on this DVD. Lots of good shots of Neil spastically wailing away and Crazy Horse pounding right there with him. I thought it was especially cool how his bass and rhythm guitar player would share the microphone with him on harmony vocals. Fortunately the cameras focused more on Neil and the band rather than the crowd, unlike other concert DVDs.
What is not to like about Neil Young's acoustic set, followed by electric and Crazy Horse. The stage and crew help make this entertaining.
