There’s no band, no junk yard, indestructible rhythm section from then likes of Crazy Horse’s Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina.

Neil Young fans are a tolerant bunch. The crazy, dope-smoking, song-writing and guitar-bending maestro is without peer for those who’ve been following his wandering ways since he first left Canada and headed for California – in a hearse – in the mid-1960s.
