Neil Young & Crazy Horse -Cinnamon Girl
Fun Fact: That's Willie Nelson's lad Micah on the guitar.
I saw Crazy Horse at the Sydney Entertainment Centre once, and a few people walked out because it wasn't Neil on an acoustic with his harmonica. They couldn't deal with the whole arena physically rumbling when Neil messed around in double drop D tuning.
I have no sympathy. It said 'Crazy Horse' right there on the ticket π€·ββοΈ
Yeah, I like all of Neil's incarnations too.
Gotta admit, though, that when he fires up his 'whizzer' motorised thing on that old Tweed Deluxe and makes your ears bleed from the sheer power it's something really special π€·ββοΈ
I love the Rust Never Sleeps era and some of the live shows from that tour. H.E.A.V.Y! π
Neil Young & Crazy Horse "Powderfinger" live in Sydney 2013
Pretty sure this was the show I was at:

Indeed.
A fair bit of it is his cool 'whizzer' thing, apparently. I love the concept: you hit a pedal switch, and the mechanical device on the amp physically turns the knobs (there aren't many on a '59 Deluxe so it's pretty simple). Genius.
That and the mini humbucker in his LPs. I have a Firebird with those in it and can attest that they're microphonic in a really good way if, say, you turn your Marshall JTM Studio 20 up to 8.5-9 or so and stand in the same room. π
Very cool! I can get nice effects by kicking the shit out of the reverb spring. π
I β€οΈ the BOINGGG! thing π
We were actually messing around with that yesterday because the Moog Grandmother synth has a built-in spring reverb and we discovered that if you kick the drum throne, I've got it sitting on, the BOINGGG! happens reliably.
Add some verb and modulated delay, and you've got a party π€·ββοΈ

I'm now seriously thinking of taking the mic out of my acoustic and splicing it in on the electric semi I have, putting it in different spots, or just taped down for resonance. Hmmm. Repair bills in my future? π
Thank ye godz the Marshalls are solid. π
@DyDave
You're a bad influence, man. π π
@DyDave
Love that! I like Neil in his 'country' moments and the heavy, too. This one of my fave NY songs (about heroin, but whatever π)
