We cannot believe how many people did not pick up on the sync problem in Neil Young's " Heart of Gold " . My wife and i are seasoned pros in the biz.. and right off the mark noticed this obvious glitch. We were overcome with motion sickness symptoms, watching Neil's guitar strumming??? and had to close our eyes for the duration of the film. The drummer in certain spots hits on 1 & 3 beat as supposed to the correct 2 & 4 Spooners Hammond organ were for the most part stripped...the bass player played notes on the 5th fret when it clearly was an open E note ... etc etc I have a suspicion that the initial sound track did not cut it, and a "studio version" had to be constructed...Which in a way explains why the "live" sound was so warm and beautiful ... it is a mystery to us .. no one that reviewed this wonderful movie ever picked up on this ... even some of our guitar buddies !! We wonder how Neil and the gang feel watching it ???
In spite of this..we still recommend this very touching film.
