Velvet Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Yeah, couldn't disagree with Giggles buddy more, except to agree that Danny Michel could be said to have stolen the show. I thought his arrangement of Helpless was incredible, though I heard others thought otherwise. Edited June 13, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Did giggles just pass on 2nd hand review information? Giggles! That's so 2001!I personally didn't enjoy the MC as he seemed to force the musician participants to answer questions that they weren't expecting. On one hand I can see that being a more interesting manner to do it as you get that live, without-a-net unexpectedness, but in reality it wasn't really working out as a few musicians were understandably hesitant to follow his instructions back to the mic, and Jason Collett was quick enough to escape the stage before mushmusic guy asked him what his most favoritess neil young song was.speaking of JC, he did some great shit on that stage.

Ms.Huxtable Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I liked the MC. I thought his passion for Neil Young was infectious and he told great stories about the songs that were about to be played. I learned a few things actually.

phorbesie Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 He said most of the performances were quite poor and he was pretty sure he was going to kill whomever the MTV douchbag MC was. He did however give props to the Euclid and he mentioned that he thought Danny Michel stole the show. Gawpo Giggles while i don't agree with this person that the songs were poor, i was definitely disappointed in quite a few of the songs; i had higher expectations. having anticipated this show for months (and thus months of preparation time for them) i felt that many of the artists did not put much effort into doing anything unique or interesting with the song. danny michel was definitely an exception to that!! i enjoyed bill frisell too. and sarah slean. and the sisters were great, of course! as for the mc, at first i worried i was gonna hate him but i thought he did a pretty good job. a lot of the acts were before my time or not my style (i am not generally a fan of can-pop or of female vocalists) so i know that factors into my view of the show. it was still a fun evening. i'm looking forward to giving the show a listen again on the CBC!

zero Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Keep the absentee reviews coming. Too bad the String Cheese Incident (defunct, defunkt?) couldn't appear.Everything I've read suggests Michel's was the most adventurous rendition, very ballsy to add his own verse although Helpless as a song is sort of conducive to modified verses. Also read interestingly that whatever that band is called Chocolate Monkey Inc. recruited their cellist from craigslist a couple weeks prior. Also that Frisell was underutilized, cool that Scherr played with him (as on Live from the Village Vanguard and presumably many other occasions). Scherr is such a sick multi-instrumentalist and great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 michel had some unfortunate feedback and he managed to use it to his advantage. i loved the contrast created when the Sisters followed him with their kick arse version of the same tune.

Velvet Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 The first half of the show will be broadcast on Radio 2 tonight at 7pm. If anyone can record it for me that would be great.http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/programs/canada_live/2009/06/29/neil_young.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 seems like it's on now? I just heard danny michel doing helpless. Now it's colin "reggae" jamses. This doesn't seem to be in order so I don't know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
