You better like Neil or this will be an interminable trip through bad music hell. Not nearly as good as his '72 film "Journey Through the Past", it still had a few fun moments but was mostly dull interviews and grainy, endless concert footage. Young needs to drop the gangsta/rapper look; in fact the entire band appears to be a bunch of washed up, burnt out, middle aged head banger wannabes who look to have been ridden hard and put up wet. I was particularly amused by Pancho as he kept insisting the producers couldn't sew up 30 years of Crazy Horse with a camera and a couple of questions. What's to sew up? Drugs, whores, bad music, and a never ending childhood wouldn't beg more than 2 queries at most. I admit to liking a few of Young's songs but for the most part I consider him a 2 bit guitarist who pushes grunge a bit too far.

This film is a great documentary, i was not a fan of Neil young but was won over by this kooky depiction of Young's band crazy horse, Great music interesting people, the real life subjects of this movie resemble Jarmusch's loveable offbeat fictional charicters. A good Friday night film watch it

Around the 4th or 5th time that Frank "Pancho" Sampedro looks knowingly into the camera and asks how they can possibly capture "20 years of craziness in a few little questions," you get this urge to slap his hippy ass back to Mexico or wherever he came from with that bad moustache and nickname. Aside from these moments of Spinal Tap verite, you get Jim Jarmusch's idea of a rock and roll movie: long dull interviews and long dull performances. I like Neil Young and his music. I like Jim Jarmusch and his films. But unless you relish the idea of watching 3 middle-aged men standing in a circle hitting their whammie bars for 5 long minutes, stay home, put on "Rust Never Sleeps" & "Stranger Than Paradise", and have some of what Pancho's having.

Neil Young and his favorite back-up band Crazy Horse are filmed during his 1996 tour. Splendid concert footage(filmed in various formats to acompany the ragged music) is mixed with honest backstage footage from 1996, 1986 and 1976. The result is one the 90's best Rock'n' Roll pictures in a LONG time. Anyone interested in Rock should check out the distorted piece.
