From the splendid people at Aquarium Drunkard – Absolute homegrown ephemera gold courtesy of a 1972 Germany documentary which finds Neil Young in a honey slide haze on his fabled Broken Arrow Ranch, work-shopping “Out on the Weekend” (endearingly amused by his own lyrics), and hanging with Elliot Roberts, the fellas, the dogs, and the cows. The clip also finds Young musing on the imagery of his songwriting, before gorgeously blending a live performance of “Old Man” from only a few weeks prior with footage of the titular muse and Young sharing a smile. More barn, indeed.

Nice find,he looks older than I had imagined…I never know whether to try and persevere with albums or stick to the classics when it comes to wanting some NY on the system!
So cool, and what a voice. I have a feeling I’ve seen some of this before, on a DVD extra that came with the live at Massey Hall CD a few years back.
