Neil Young & Crazy Horse Perform “Cortez the Killer” in 1991

One of the things I really enjoyed when I was posting shows every day was posting certain artists on certain days of the week. I am a man of some organization. I like to have my ducks in a row as my mother likes to say. There was something nice about knowing that on Mondays I’d be posting Bob Dylan shows, and on Wednesdays, I’d post the Grateful Dead, etc. I kind of miss that.

So in my ever-changing plans on what to do with this blog, I thought it would be fun to try to do something similar again. No, I won’t be posting new shows every day and thus I won’t be posting Neil Young shows on Thursdays. But maybe I can post a Neil Young video on some Thursdays. Or links to interesting Neil Young news.

I like the idea anyway. So here’s a terrific version of one of my favorite Neil songs, “Cortez the Killer” in 1991.

I did not harm the sound of the recordings in any way. Pitch adjustment done by the original taper.
Tr.1 is missing about two seconds at the beginning, apart from that this the complete performance.
