Neil Young - Living With War Live
Neil Young
Living With War Live [no label, 1CD]
Have you ever wondered how Neil Young’s new album, Living With War, would sound live? While fans have compiled the album’s tracks as performed live by Neil Young and posted them on the internet, other fans such as CHerrmann57 have tweaked the tracks for a better sound.
In May, Young released Living With War, a blistering attack on Dubya and the Iraq War, just before embarking on the current Freedom Of Speech Tour, which is devoted to getting Americans to speak up and out about the war. In an interview with CNN, Young said: “There’s a conscience in the country, and I don’t think it’s being spoken. Everyone deserves a chance to be heard… we don’t have to believe what our president believes to be patriotic.”
For example, when the band played Let’s Impeach The President at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, California, it’s protest karaoke time - the lyrics were shown on a video screen and the crowd got the chance to sing along.
As the Boston Herald says, “Whether you’re with him or against him, what’s undeniable is his ability to offer pointed political criticism in a way that’s passionate and honest.”
Thanks to CHerrmann57 for his efforts and for contributing the tracks.
