First off, I'm a pretty big Neil Young fan, so I guess I'm a little biased. I expected to like this video, but it ended up exceeding my expectations. It's an entirely acoustic set, and I think Neil is normally at his best when doing acoustic, and this was no exception. Most of the songs performed are from the Prairie Wind album with a few older songs mixed in. There wasn't one song that was anything less than good.
Additionally, the filming of the show by Jonathan Demme is the best I've ever seen of a concert. The camera angles, stage background, everything makes this a very well shot video.
Neil Young in top form, plus Demme in top form makes for a must own for Neil Young fans. But I'm sure the fans didn't need to be encouraged to go pick this up. For everyone else, if you have even the slightest interest in Young or just want to see a great acoustic concert performance, I suggest you give this a try. It's the best concert film I've ever seen.
