(Spoiler Alert) I thought it was an excellent movie. I am not just saying that because I am a Neil Young fan. The ticket was 7.00. It was a very good concert at Massey Hall. How much do you think the fans paid to see Neil perform live at Massey Hall that night that it was filmed? I think a movie ticket is a bargain, to see a concert, and also see when the cameras got up close and personal when Neil performed. He sang mostly songs from "Le Noise". I think he was promoting his new album at the time. I really love that album!!! I play it all the time. The sound was great, and to see Neil as close up as we did, you can almost feel his emotions (and sweat) as he sang. I have been to live concerts, and never felt as close up and personal as I did when we saw this movie. Never felt this way about Neil's performances because television screens are not as big as the movies. (You can actually see his sweat coming down his face). The camera also focuses in on his mouth and teeth, as he sang you could actually see each word come out of his mouth!!(Never seen the inside of Neil's mouth before) I also loved when he drove around his old hometown, and introduced his brother Bob. He looks just like Neil!!! My only disappointment was that the movie's too short (less than two hours, and he did not show enough of his hometown). I would have liked to know more about his brother, and heard him speak more in the movie. His son Ben was in one scene. It would have been nice to have more family time in the movie, and also more driving around the town. The cars he and his brother drove were very nice cars (both black vintage Ford, and Cadillac). He looked a bit disappointed after driving around because most of the town has changed, but he puts it into perspective when he says "it's still in my head and still in my heart". I hope this movie comes out on DVD, with added scenes to make it a bit longer. This movie WAS all about Neil, and Neil only!!! If you are a die hard, loyal Neil Young fan, then, THIS MOVIE IS FOR YOU!!!!
