One of the oldest dreams for many Neil Young fans has been that the prodigious folk-rocker would somehow find his way back--even once--to the youthful, bruised majesty of his epochal 1970 album, After the Gold Rush. Silver & Gold comes very close to evoking the same dreamy suggestiveness as that first solo masterpiece in Young's long career, but, for obvious reasons, from an autumnal perspective. A video companion to the CD of the same name, Silver & Gold is actually a longer, fuller experience of Young's stirring acoustic concerts than the album represents. The hushed intimacy of Young's playing and singing, sans backup, in such a setting can be unforgettable, and this widescreen presentation captures that delicate beauty. While the play list has its share of familiar gems, the emphasis is on a group of thematically and musically related songs Young had been arranging just prior to the CSNY reunion. Among them are gentle, double-edged reflections on childhood ("Daddy Went Walkin'"), elemental odes to mature love ("Silver & Gold"), and richly imagistic allusions to loss and rediscovered innocence. These and a number of other new titles are largely of a piece, 30 years later, with After the Gold Rush and its blend of melancholy stateliness, crosscurrents of pure emotion, and touches of the mystical. The difference is in the experience of time: After the Gold Rush confirms the shifting, glorious colors of a sensitive young man's constant immediacy, while the new material on Silver & Gold blurs all boundaries between past and present. Young doesn't fail to stoke our affection with his absent-minded strolls and sloppy prepping of his instruments, but his emotional concentration on standards such as "City of Brotherly Love," "Harvest Moon," and "Long May You Run" (played on pipe organ and sounding like the church hymn it was meant to be) is something to behold. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent DVD !!!For Fans Of Neil Young Acoustic-He Is Very Laid Back & It Is Just A Good Night To Be A Neil Young Fan,But Then Again What Day Is Not.I Can Put This On & Enjoy It Any Time I Like & It Is Just A Great Thing To Have Around The House For That Right Time!!! Rating:  - Babies Fall SilentMy daughter (1.5 years old) always falls silent and stares rapt at the squeaky-voiced geezer on the screen. The only other artist she shows the same reverence for is the Beatles (especially the Help! film/dvd) so I guess that's saying something. I found it a little less satisfying than say WELD or even the BBC film of his solo television appearance in the early 70s but it is still worth a watch. I have to say I found some of the songs tedious (My ole daddy went a walking one day...) both musically ... Read More Rating: - Neil Young - Silver & GoldThis DVD is outstanding. First, the audio and video recordings are excellent (unlike some concert DVD's). Second, this was a special, intimate show with Neil performing solo acoustic in a small venue. Although this could be enjoyed with your beer drinking buddies, it's an ideal DVD to play when you're with your woman and good bottle of wine. Even people who are indifferent about Neil Young will enjoy this DVD. A must for any Neil Young fan. I'll watch it again and again! Rating: - Not Great, But Goodim 53 now and i've seen Neil Young live many times. And i've seen lots of his tapes and dvds. This on is very good ( not great ) but good. If you want to check out Mr. Young live and raw check out this dvd. I think your going to like this one. Rating: - mellow my mindIf you're looking for a laid-back hour of solo acoustic, mostly new and expertly crafted Neil Young numbers, you've come to the right place. Young has put together 62 minutes of fine entertainment in this year 2000 release. These recordings are gleaned from Young's May 29, 1999 solo appearance at the 2,000 seat Bass Concert Hall on the campus of the University of Texas. The filming has a very simplistic and classy feel to it... Neil surrounded by a crescent of acoustic guitars, a pump organ ... Read More |
