Is this the Beatles!?

The Great American Songbook.

I prefer the, what? eh?

Rhythmic untidiness.

This is just amazing.

"The song begins with audience applause (taken not from a Buffalo Springfield show, as some expect, but rather from a concert by the Beatles)".

What was that Bird of Peace, that I ate song?

The lights turned on and the curtain fell down
And when it was over it felt like a dream
They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream
The agents had paid for the black limousine
That waited outside in the rain

Did you see them?
Did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered, brown-skinned Indian
On the banks that were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?

Eighteen years of American dream
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall
His mother had told him a trip was a fall
And don't mention babies at all

Did you see him?
Did you see him?
Did you see him in the river?
He was there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered, brown-skinned Indian
On the banks that were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?

The streets were lined for the wedding parade
The queen wore the white gloves, the county of song
The black-covered caisson her horses had drawn
Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn
They married for peace and were gone

Did you see them?
Did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered, brown-skinned Indian
On the banks that were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?

Neil Young was 22 when he wrote this.

God that's depressing.

Oh, for flips sake…

Dark Side of the Moon ending.

It is over.

It was nice to hear an album from the late 1960s that didn't sound like albums from the late 1960s usually sound but it was fairly mediocre from start to finish.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

I shall give it 3 stars.

Well that was odd.

I like the first two Neil Young songs, the Still ones were OK, and the other guy's less so.

It's over.

Bit of a curate's egg to be fair.

It wasn't ultimately a particularly successful sum of its parts, rather three guitarists with very distinctly different approaches to music and songwriting.

The Furay stuff didn't work in conjunction with the more distinctive and strident Stills and Young and, whilst the Stills stuff was pretty good (especially the last track of his), it was Neil Young who really towered over all proceedings with his unique, eccentric and visionary songs.

Broken Arrow really is very special.

I listened to it again.

2 good songs, a few Ok and a few of nope not for me.



I'm not doing a Poco album.

Slightly mean ★★ from me.
