Neil Young/Rare Clips 1983-1989

With the advent of MTV in the 1980s, music videos (hereinafter referred to as MVs) reached their peak, which meant that even artists who had no connection to MVs had to face them. . Especially for artists who had been active since the 1960s, the difference was whether or not they could handle music videos. Successful examples include Peter Gabriel and Asia, but Neil Young, who was not able to ride the MTV wave at all at first, suddenly opened his eyes to music video production with the controversial 1983 work “EVERYBODY’S ROCKIN”’. The content of the music video is also said to be out of control, as if to reflect the shaky state of his Geffen days (lol), which is generally considered to be his wandering period. This DVD is a compilation of his music videos from the 1980s by a maniac. They are not recorded in chronological order, but from the MVs in the late 80’s when Geffen returned to Reprise, so the quality of the first one continues to be high even if you watch it now. Only “Rockin’ In The Free World” has a high pitch and the audio is monaural, but it was actually broadcast in this state from the beginning. Moreover, Neil, who plays a homeless man, fits the role perfectly. Also, “This Note’s For You”, which was initially banned from broadcasting but ended up winning MTV’s Best Video Award, is famous, but “Hey Hey” from the same album was not broadcast much. Therefore, there are many enthusiasts who are seeing it for the first time. The problem is the Geffen era, where even images are out of control. “Touch The Night,” in which he plays a cold-hearted reporter reporting on the scene of a traffic accident, “People On The Street,” in which he even tap dances, and “Cry, Cry, Cry,” a rockabilly comedy. It’s hard not to be surprised that the world-famous Neil Young was able to perform such lame (lol) performances in front of the camera, even giving up his instruments. Even in “Wonderin’,” which could be called the only decent MV of this period, Neil does not play any instruments. What’s more, many of these videos can’t be seen on YouTube because they are not popular, but the quality of videos such as “Wonderin'” is much better than what you can see there. The second half is an excerpt of rare song performance scenes from the audience shot video of the 1988 Blue Notes tour’s August 18 Toronto performance. It has been famous among enthusiasts since the video era, but it is especially valuable to be able to see the long performance scene of “Sixty To Zero”, which is nearly 20 minutes long, which is the original appearance of “Crime In The City”. In contrast to the peak of what will be released in “COMING HOME / A BIT MORE”, this is an interesting video compilation centered on valuable music videos from the Geffen era. I can’t believe there was a time like this for Neil Young. This is definitely a must-see DVD-R for enthusiasts. The Geffen era was surprisingly lame!
