Concert Music Reviews by Steve Young
Neil Young - Harvest Moon Review Reprise Records David Geffen will probably never admit he made a mistake, but Harvest Moon proves he did. The media giant released Neil Young from his recording contract with Geffen Records in 1986, reportedly Black Sabbath At The Star because Young made a series of "blatantly uncommercial" records during the eighties. Those early eighties records were different from anything else on the market at the time, and apparently they didn't make much money. Since his release from Geffen, however, Young bas released by Karl Rademacher a series of strong critically/commercially successful albums that return to his traditional style of thoughtful rock. Harvest Moon continues that series with a slight twist. Here's a metal quiz, kiddies: Young bas released a quiet, but still infectious record. His sounds have been toned down considerably What happens when you steal Slash's top hat and band the from the searing intensity of Ragged Glory and Arc-Weld, but they still grab the listener and leave remaining mop a thrashed six stringer; give "Brenda" from 90210 him wanting more. ten pounds and a voice like Vince Neal; hand Geddy Lee of Rush Young bas assembled many of the same musicians be worked with on his most commercially a "Hentor Barbarian" bass guitar and a hit of acid; give Cousin It successful record, 1971's Harvest.

Certainly the themes of reflection and reminiscence remind the listener of Harvest, You get Skew Sisken! but the sound is much slower and quieter. Most of the songs feature one or two acoustic guitars, a Who dat, you say? piano, a bass and drums. Why, they opened up for Exodus and Black Sabbath at the Star The record opens with "Unknown Legend", a wistful reflection on a rebellious woman who has Plaza. settled down to domesticity. "From Hank To Hendrix" seems to express the irony Young feels about This was my second impression, mind you. They came on stage being a survivor in a live-fast, die-young profession. while I was in the bathroom flushing a gallon of Pepsi down the Young refers back to past work on "You and Me". The tune sounds similar to "Old Man" and even drain. Judging from the sudden ruckus outside, I could have sworn contains the lines "Old man sittin' there/ Touch of grey, but be don't care/ When he hears his children Motley Cruejust bounded on stage. Not liking "Mostly Crud" very call." On "Old Man", Young seemed to be looking towards middle age with some trepidation, but now much, I took my time strolling out of the too and back into the he has accepted the bad and the good. theatre. Even treated myself to a 32 oz. beer and admired the "Harvest Moon", the title track, is a soft, but joyful celebration of lasting love. "'War of Man" picks building architecture on the way. Now, imagine my surprise when up the intensity a little and reminds the listener of the social criticism of Freedom. I was hit smack in the face with the image outlined above. Young returns to reflective mode on "One ofThese Days", a song about friends lost and remembered. Appearances aside, Skew Sisken was a decent band. They're Perhaps the biggest surprise of the album is "Such a Woman", an intensely personal love song. It's fresh from Germany, high energy, and had a good rhythm. The the only song arranged (over-arranged?) by Jack Nitzsche, who makes it sound like virtually any only nit I could pick with them was their sound man. Someone ballad by Bob Seeger. The song was powerful performed acoustically on piano in concert, but for should do the world a favor and reroute his considerable "talent" this writer, the strings on the record pushed it a little too far. towards pizza delivery. "Old King", an ode to a departed dog, is the closest thing to a rocker on the record. Young's Following them was Exodus, a punk/metal band cross over. self-reflection continues on "Dreamin' Man". They were lightening fast and deafening. You shoulda seen the The album closes with the ten minute epic "Natural Beauty". "I beard a perfect echo die/ Into an sea of banging heads and flying hair! Exodus would have been anonymous wall of digital sound," Young sings emotionally. Perhaps this is why Young has gotten good to see at the Cabaret Metro, with a mosb pit and stage dives away from the noise for a while. galore!

It was a high energy, stand on your feet and cheer show, without the noise. Of course, noise has always been an important element of Young's work, and he reintroduced it with a vengeance on the 1991 Ragged Glory tour. It was a : celebration of feedback, sounds amplified and distorted enough to make the audience's ears bleed, before they screamed for more. Now with the release of Harvest Moon, Young returned with a quiet, introspective, solo acoustic show. He sat alone at center stage, surrounded only by six guitars, two pianos, a banjo, a pedal-driven organ and a few harmonicas. He set the tone right away, with a slow, almost mournful "The Old Laughing Lady". From there be went straight into three songs from the new album, highlighted by "From Hank to Hendrix". by Barbara A Johnson He picked up the pace a little with "Heart of Gold", which sounded fresh despite its being almost Are you the type of person to make a meal out of Spinach Dip? run into the ground on "classic rock" radio.
