Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I love Miles Davis and I like... Comment: 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 on this tune appears to be a harbinger of what was to come with Harvest, two years later. Crazy Horse is Crazy Horse, a solid and very competent R&R band that was perfect for Young's material. Simply put, I don't think that anyone who is intersted in the music will be disappointed.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Comment: 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'.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Decent but not essential Comment: 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."
Customer Rating:      Summary: Ggood album Comment: Like many people mentioned, this is a realy shot cd. That being said, the music is asstounding.
