Editorial Review:
For years, fans of Neil Young and Crazy Horse have been waiting for an official chance to hear Crazy Horse live with original leader Danny Whitten, the insanely talented guitarist who died of a heroin overdose in late 1972, inspiring Tonight's the Night. Tuned-in fans have been awaiting this very set for at least a dozen years, as it was originally to be tacked onto the end of a Decade-style triple CD of outtakes. Thankfully, this well-recorded live set from the infamous Fillmore East was well worth the wait. Here are scorching, extended takes of "Down by the River," "Winterlong," and "Cowgirl in the Sand," each propelled by guitar interplay so delightful you have to keep rewinding to hear it again. In fact, bits of it seem to prefigure the ways that Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine would feed off each other in the band Television, only with less of a sweet edge. But the world doesn't need any more arguments that Young was a proto-punk; what the world does need is at least a dozen more releases from Neil's archives! And hopefully, with this awesome live album, the floodgates have truly been opened and there are many more to come, in the vein of Dylan's Bootleg series. This disc is worth it alone for the version of "Wondering," a tune not officially recorded until many years later in Neil's weird '80s rockabilly phase. --Mike McGonigal
The first release of Neil Young's archive performance series.

Rating:  - Excellent
This album is full of stunning performances. The solos in "Cowgirl in the Sand" are as desperate and passionate as you will find on any recording.
The sound quality is great.
"Live at the Fillmore East" is not an inexpensive album, but the music certainly merits the price. People are complaining about only 6 songs, but two (River and Cowgirl) account for 25 minutes of music. I'd love to hear the entire concert, but what is released here is great, energetic music.
Rating: - I love Miles Davis and I like...
Neil Young. Quite frankly however, I just don't understand why this CD is a rip off just because Davis was on the same bill that night at the Fillmore East. In my opinion, and I will leave it to the Neil Young fanatics to explain the genesis of these vault tapes, this is a gem. And, I am sure that the acoustic set that preceeded this one was just as great. Hopefully, that set will be issued at some point. The most intriguing song is Wonderin'. With 20/20 hindsight, the obvious country influence ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent
Being a hardcore fan of NY perhaps I'm easy to impress ... I you are a fan this is one that you should buy. Note the rhythm guitar on 'Down by the River'.
Rating:  - Decent but not essential
This is not a bad set. It's nice to hear a live recording of Crazy Horse with original guitarist Danny Whitten. What ruins it for me is that the bass is really flat during "Cowgirl in the Sand."
Rating: - Ggood album
