Title: Wow, an utter disappointment
Review: As a "hard-core" Neil fan, I was really disappointed with this release. There was none of his typical energy - I would not be impressed with ONE of these songs performed on stage without MOST of the show being old gems like Sweet Caroline, Forever in Blue Jeans, Shilo, Cherry, etc... Go figure - the whole album sounds like the Late Johnny Cash's last release (Which took on a whole new low with his cover of Personal Jesus. Rick Rubin evidently is stuck in a rut and tried the same style on the wrong artist. I guess I can find a use for the CD when I really need to get to sleep, since I am feeling tired just listening to it for the third time tonight - just trying to make sense of it. There is none of the throaty and raucous Neil that we all love. I wanted to love it as much as I love the Neil Diamond of old. Personally, I am glad I am listening to a copy that I did not buy - Rubin really flopped on this one. FFS, Delirious Love sounds like a 70s-80s TV theme... go figure.
