Neil at Massey Hall (May 10 and 11)

Written by bnbrainer on 13 April 2011

Sharry reports: “Neil is coming to Massey Hall on May 10 and 11. I’m so happy to hear this excellent news! I plan to get tickets for both shows. Bob is just interested in attending one show, so I guess I’ll be going solo on the second night. The dates occur on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, so I’ll have to request permission to leave work early on those nights. Massey Hall is within walking distance of where I work, so that makes things easier.”

On-sale date for the general public is Friday
(April 15) at 10:00 a.m. for both May 10 and 11.

Ticket prices — They range from $104.64 ($89.50 + $15.14 in fees) to
$204.64 ($189.50 + $15.14 in fees).

Young’s opening act will be Bert Jansch.

The Massey Hall concerts are also scheduled to be captured on film by director Jonathan Demme, as the final installment in a concert film trilogy, joining 2006’s Neil Young: Heart of Gold and 2008’s Neil Young Trunk Show.

The Toronto-born, Winnipeg-raised Young will play both acoustic and electric guitar at the Massey shows.

Finished: 24 hours to make a world record

“Old ways / sure is hard to change ’em / come what may / it’s hard to teach a dinosaur a new trick …”

I recieved a mail from Greenpeace UK. They gave Facebook an Earth Day deadline (April 22nd) to announce they’re going coal-free and that date is fast approaching. As of yet, there’s been no sign from Facebook that they plan to replace dirty coal and nuclear with clean, renewable energy.
So if you’re a Facebook user, log in, speak your mind and be part of today’s global push for a world record. Not bad for three minutes of your Wednesday.

Here’s the link

This is our world!
Don’t mess with it by using nuclear powers for energy.
Use something else.
Think different. Question it all.

Thank you!

Update:
Thank you, it’s done! Now let us hope, that Mister Zuckerberg changes the kind of energy for this giant facebook serverpark! Information technology is responsible. We are responsible. Yes, we can.

“Get Behind the Mule”, Tom Waits and Neil

Written by bnbrainer on 12 April 2011

Waits’ label Anti have posted a video on their site. We’ve seen the
induction, but haven’t seen the actual Neil/Tom performance (it wasn’t
one of the two Waits songs that aired in the edited show that aired on
Muse.)
——————

Tom Waits performs his song “Get Behind the Mule” with the legendary
Neil Young at the 2011 Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
The strange visual quality just adds additional atmosphere to this
historic performance.

:: They also posted it on Vimeo.
