Title: A much-belated NeilFest offering - "Old Man"
Post by: Blooby on July 02, 2011, 10:40:57 PM
NeilFest (banner image missing)


We've finally started talking about playing out properly. Next time we get together, we'll play through everything we know and see how much music we have. Were it not for the encouragement of this site, I'm not so sure I would have the confidence to play out again after all these years, especially in duo fashion. There's a big thank you in there somewhere.

Great job on this one man. This song is NOT easy to sing and you pulled it off exceptionally well. Good as is or as the foundation for a multi-track extravaganza. Nice cover!

WOW..............wow..............WOW.........you got it guys..........wonderful version of this classic song.  This song has been covered so many times, but you guys manage to keep it fresh here.  That vocal is the real deal.

Fabulous, I love this song, and I love this version. On the Piepod.

I'm glad you're thinking about live perfomances. You'll walk it. There's nothing like it.

Amazing performance.

Wow! This is an outstanding version. There's some real power on the vocal, and your guitar work is - of course - peerless. And way better than the way I tried to play it, lol. A real joy to listen to.

This would seem like a tough one to do without lots of backup, but you guys pulled this off as a duo big time!!

I would actually pay a cover to see you guys - Normally I would sneak into a place early before the big fat guy blocks the door looking for five bucks.

Seriously, you'll knock 'em dead without question, and I know whatever you guys do will be great.

Excellent!

Exceptional. The vocals sound like NY now. In 2011. Fantastic. 'Nuff said.

The guitar work is just as impressive as the vocal delivery. It's crisp clean and concise. I have never been a fan of Neil Young, and now I know why. If he could sing like that, I'd enjoy his work a whole lot more.
