"A later with Booker T. and the MGs was widely praised as a triumph." ?? -Tubby
- fixed -- User:GWO
This page is too dense! The first para grabs your attention, but you just stare open-mouthed as the rest scrolls down!!!
- Kind of like being at one of his shows, isn't it? Bluejay Young 3-16-04
Who, oh who, will edit this really-deserves-to-be-edited page?
-Me
Erm, you. :-) -- Tarquin 23:20 Jan 8, 2003 (UTC) (one or two headings might help)
- I added a few things but have yet to try to condense. Bluejay Young 3-16-04
Even with the headings, this article is rather text-heavy. Anyone have any (public domain) pics of Neil? I could scan a few album covers, at least. Fredrik 03:27, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Try Google Images. Bluejay Young 3-16-04
- Can't just use any picture - they need to be in the public domain. Fredrik 20:54, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Fixed with some album scans, sort of. Might need some more variety, ideally there should be at least one picture of him with acoustic guitar + harmonica... but I don't have any such picture here. Fredrik | talk 10:43, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
"Ohio" is not on Deja Vu, or any original album.
- Its on Decade. :) Thanks for the correction
- And on the So Far CSNY retrospective. --Bluejay Young 12:59, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
What about the album:Road Rock VI, Neil Young , Friends & Relatives (2000).Can I include it? --georingo 08:48, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Sure you can. Be bold in updating pages, GWO

Fancruft?
I'd be all for reverting User:172.155.203.90's recent addition, but thought I'd bring the matter here first. The text in question is: " Time Fades Away, similar to Bob Dylan's 1966 Royal Albert Hall live recording known as the "Judas!" (http://www.thrasherswheat.org/ritfw/columbia062503.htm) concert when Dylan went electric, is regarded to be the "Holy Grail" (http://www.thrasherswheat.org/tnfy/timefadesaway_album.htm) among Young fans." -- Jmabel | Talk 20:11, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
Weak citation
"In an interview in Rolling Stone magazine in the early 1970s, another band member stated..." Can someone get a clear citation on the article, and specify who stated...? -- Jmabel | Talk 23:49, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
Trivia
Could we work out what in the "trivia" section deserves to be elsewhere in the article, and what deserves to be dropped? -- Jmabel | Talk 23:49, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
Instrument / Equipment Choices
How about adding an instrument / equipment choices section?
Neil probably sounds like Neil whatever he plays, but he has made many particular, deliberate and considered choices about his instruments and equipment. I suggest that these choices are worthy of mention as they reflect something about him as an artist.
For example; Old Black, his 1953 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop with Bigsby tremelo, Firebird pickup and other modifications; and his Fender Deluxe amplifier with added custom built Whizzer unit.
I can contribute more information and cite the sources which would mostly be NYAS Broken Arrow and the Guitar Player magazine interview with Neil Young and Larry Crag. (Would there be copyright issues if repeated verbatim? If so I can distill and submit the details).
