Neil Young – Eldorado (Live in Germany in 1989)
Neil Young’s album Freedom was released in the fall of 1989. It’s most well known for the single “Rockin’ In The Free World”, with both an electric and an acoustic version on the album. It was Neil’s first record back at Reprise after his unrewarding stay at Geffen Records, which ended with a lawsuit.
Despite and/or because of that, Freedom is full of great music. “Eldorado” was one of my favorite tracks on the record. I loved the latin feel to it. So I was pleased when I came across this acoustic version the other day, with just Neil and Frank “Pancho” Sampedro playing. They bring that latin feel to their playing, and the audience is rapt. Or just really polite.
