Watch: 1976 Neil Young & Crazy Horse Concert Footage
Got hipped to this terrific footage from Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s four-night run at London’s Hammersmith Odeon in March 1976. Young performs “Tell Me Why,” “Stringman” and “Human Highway” solo before doing “Down By the River” and “Cortez the Killer” with Crazy Horse.
Thanks to JamBase and Dangerous Minds who pointed me to this clip. Watch it now before it’s gone.

Roots Of Beatlemania
Dorian Lynskey delivers a fairly in-depth look in fandom, pre and post-Beatlemania in a piece that ran yesterday in London’s The Observer, which is owned by The Guardian Media Group.
“You soaked up energy from the crowd,” said Linda Ihle, a Beatles fan who attended the band’s first Shea Stadium show in 1965. “The screaming never stopped. We could barely hear the music because the sound systems weren’t very good back then. There were police everywhere, trying to keep fans from jumping on to the field. It was a happening, to use a word from the time. It was the event itself. It was being there.”
