Two words for Crosby, Stills and Nash - CRAZY HORSE! This
is rock n' roll as it was meant to be played - barely in tune
and teetering on the brink of oblivion. No wonder Neil Young
preferred rockin' in the free world with these guys over CSN's
cuddle-folk round-up (Joni Mitchell covers?!... Pleez!).
You can hear the blood and sweat in every stuttering guitar
jab, Danny Whitten's raspy tenor the perfect counterpoint
to Neil's wavering holler. Recently plucked from obscurity
as a Laurel Canyon garage band, the Horse is in fine form
during this appearance at the Fillmore East in March of 1970.
Maybe it was the opening set by Miles Davis that night that
inspired them, or maybe it was just their way, but Neil and
Co. hit the stage with both barrels blazing on "Come On, Baby,
Let's Go Downtown." That's Whitten on lead vocal. The set
list leans heavily on songs from Neil's first release featuring
Crazy Horse, 1969's Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, but also
includes a stunningly ragged version of live favorite "Winterlong"
and an early rendition of a song called "Wonderin'" that you
may have only heard before if you were one of the 20 or so
faithful that actually purchased Everybody's Rockin. |
