I thought that too until I looked it up on Wikipedia and found that it was first released on his 1989 Freedom album which included two versions - one electric and one acoustic.

does that mean that if I switch the vocaltracks on "Hey Hey My My" and "My My Hey Hey" I have one for the unplugged and one for the plugged-in fest? ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm almost 50 - and been a Neil fan since he was in Buffalo Springfield. I know know he did a plugged in version, but this version uses different chords (D - E - F for the verses and A - C - D for the chorus) and I changed the chorus a little bit.

Does that mean this cover song don't count for the contest? If so I will delete it and rock the beans out of something else  ;D

As I said above, this song was originally released in two versions - electric and acoustic. So your cover qualifies for the Plugged-In Fest. No need to delete.

Nice job!

Very cool version. I liked how you changed up the chorus. Great vocals..Excellent work!!

Quotedoes that mean that if I switch the vocaltracks on "Hey Hey My My" and "My My Hey Hey" I have one for the unplugged and one for the plugged-in fest?

Hey Geir, thats pretty cool for you to do and have both versions changed around. Great Idea!

Good job, excellent rocking version, very nicely recorded. Some great sounding guitars on this one.

This a really rip-roaring cover. Plenty of nicely panned energy. Great work!

Nice, really nice.  Great howling vocals, really good singing here.  Guitars are out of site.  I like how you changed it up a bit, that deadly.
