of the term "legendary " for some crappy old Neil Young concert. And one said "Its a matter of personal taste!!"No, it was LWR regurgitated ad copy, uncredited. Just a sales promo. You fell for it, by a huckster.
AMAZON
Product Description
One of the greatest singer-songwriters of the rock era. Solo. Acoustic. January 19, 1971. Live At Massey Hall, the legendary concert from Neil Young, is finally officially released, and in highresolution stereo, in this CD+DVD package (also as a solo CD). The acclaimed Toronto performance features classics "Old Man" and, in a suite, "A Man Needs A Maid" and "Heart Of Gold" (before they were recorded for Harvest) along with some of his most popular songs ("Cowgirl In The Sand," "Ohio") as well as the most obscure ("Bad Fog Of Loneliness"). Live At Massey Hall is a newly mined rock gem.
Follow Ups:
...were to wipe his ass with your scraggly old toupee. I have no idea how many hairs you have on that dense coconut shell you call a head, but you get the idea.....
you are a legend in one.
I like Neil as well as the next guy, but honestly, had you said millions, I would have accepted it.
Tens of millions would have left me thinking: "Well maybe, the low tens of millions".
But hundreds of millions means that about 1/2 the population of the U.S.A., Canada and Great Britain, (I believe that the current combined population is about 400 million, which is probably the majority of people who listen to rock), thinks he is legendary? (Given you said hundreds of millions, that implies at least plural of 100 million, which is 200 million, right?)
I gotta believe the number hovers somewhere around ten million. (Which is still pretty darn good!)
Could be a 100 million and 1. I am sure he has sold that many albums. How many have enjoyed his shows? His radio play? For 30 plus years.
All that matters is that any one person who loves any one song counts.
All those who have shared their albums with how many others, all of that counts. He is more popular than Jesus!!!
Well, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.Just because I have heard someone's song, and maybe even liked it, that certainly does not mean that I would consider them to be a legend.
(If so, then wouldn't Britney Spears be an even bigger legend? Damn, that hurts to even write that!)Nope, sorry, can't buy it.
To me, a legend is someone who has a substantial body of work that will be remembered for decades, at least.
Britney won't be.
(Thank God!)
Neil, maybe, but not by hundreds of millions.
To me, the only few who would be considered to be in that catagory would be: First and foremost, Frank Sinatra, followed closely by The Beatles, and then in no particular order, The Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc...There are lots of groups and singers that I like, some a lot, that I doubt will be considered to be "legendary", merely because the vast majority of the population will never remember them. Heck, even Buffalo Springfield would probably fall into that catagory, because you could probably play any of their songs for the common man, and he might even remember having heard it before, but he would have forgotten the name of the group.
Legend's names are not forgotten, IMHO.Anyway, keep up the good work of tweaking Duilawyer's nose, and while you're at it, have a go at Yech, as he is fun to provoke too!
:-)
Me provoke!!! I had no idea. Holy smokes, I'll try to be more careful in the future....
The copy he provided (with the caveat that it was snipped) was from the linked review not the Amazon sales copy.So, to your odd post I can say... Huh?
It is advertising copy regurgitated without being identified as such.
It just didn't.

What LWR posted..."The Jan. 19, 1971, performance by Neil Young at Toronto's Massey Hall was a homecoming. Young had left his native Canada five years earlier to join Buffalo Springfield in Los Angeles and returned a star with two solo albums and the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young album "Deja Vu" already under his belt. The recording made that night, the second release in Young's long-awaited archive series (coupled with a DVD of a similar show apparently from the same tour), finds him performing solo acoustic and trying out several songs that would be included on his next album, "Harvest." At the time, record producer David Briggs thought this live tape should have been Young's next album, but Young wanted to save the songs for the studio recording. Given that that album established Young once and for all with the huge radio hit "Heart of Gold," Young (left, in 1971) was probably correct. But that left "Live at Massey Hall" as something of a lost masterpiece. "
There are some unavoidable similarities because they're talking about the same friggin' disc but they are not otherwise in any way the same. It would take a VERY disjointed mind to claim thet they were.

There must be a couple in there that make some sense, yet here's another one of yours that doesn't. No surpise there.
Well, I 'd say those shows fit the definition of legendary. I've had bootlegs of those legendary performances for many, many years. They are, in fact, legendary amongst Neil Young fans. Since you're not a NY fan, perhaps you haven't heard of the recordings, are out of the loop, so they don't qualify as legendary to you.LWR is as much a huckster as Bill Frisell is a hoax. While you, on the other hand, lack more and more credibility of any sort whith each and almost every post. I have to say though, that if all things in life were as consistent as your clueless posts, life sure would be predictable. Luckily, it isn't. Sadly, you are.

My post makes sense, you may not be able to comprehend the point.
It is also factually correct, which you failed to address.Print one of 22000 that was wrong, or better yet, a lie. Come on, with your theory that must be easy. Wade in.
