Neil Young: [singing] I want to live, I want to give, I’ve been a miner, For a heart of gold, It’s these expressions, I never give, That keep me searching, For a heart of gold, And I’m getting old…

Jonathan Demme (Stop Making Sense) gives us another excellent concert film.

This beautiful film was shot during a two-night performance by Neil Young at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.  We also get interviews of Young and the members of his band.  Emmylou Harris is one of his backup singers.

How much you like this will depend on how well you like Young’s music.  I like his old songs, which thankfully he includes, better than his newer material.
