"The Needle And The Damage Done" (cover)

[64Guitars]

On This Day bump.


And I noticed the following message in this topic:

I'm thinking of doing 'Old Man' one of these days (to add to my live favourite 'Heart of Gold'). Hell... we could do the whole album as a kind of forum tribute, lol

Now there's an idea!! How about a Neilfest after the bluesfest and upcoming rockfest?

This message was what started the whole "festival" concept here at Songcrafters. Sure, the Trans Atlantic Blues Festival was first, but it was more of an impromptu thing by just a few members and it only lasted a few days. NeilFest was the first major festival that we all got involved in and it ran through May and June 2009. It was a great success with 45 posts by 25 members. This was followed by our woodstock 40th anniversary festival which was also a great success. And the festival concept became a major feature of Songcrafters.

So thanks to Geir and Greeny for the great idea, and to SdC for inspiring it with this post.

I have very fond memories of that Neil fest.  That was one of my favorite fests so far, it just felt like the whole site transformed slightly through the power of Neil Young's music and inspiration.  Thanks Geir and Greeny ....

Excellent coverage on one of my favorite Neil Young tunes! I'd say you pretty much nailed it in every aspect.
