Neil Young - Zuma

Yes, but at least half of each song is jamming on the same two chords.

They can’t all be “Roadrunner”!

counting the number of chords used in a song strikes me as the absolute worst way to engage with music

I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way

dume is def my favorite disc on archives 2 so far. never loved danger bird but at the same time a 7 minute doper jam fits so well right there in the 2nd slot, especially balancing out cortez at the end. the dume version of powderfinger probably works as a good replacement

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), my point was that the quality of Neil's songs isn't consistent with how many chords they have.

for real though, i remember the first time i heard "cortez," i thought the extended intro was like slowly pulling back layers of an onion or something, it was almost bewildering in its meandering raggedness, but obviously the feeling of the thing has a pretty direct and strong trajectory like almost everything neil did in the classic years.

One thing that can be said in favour of songs based around a limited set of chords is that the form is highly conducive to improvised lead work. (John McLaughlin would doubtless disagree, but whatevs)

The best album ever.

The best beach ever.

Santa Monica Beach is the location chosen by photographer Bob Seidemann for the cover of Neil Young's fifth album, “On The Beach ” which was released in 1974.

why the hell would you do that when zuma is like 10 miles down the road, lol. pure laziness? some money thing?

On the Beach is a different album from Zuma

Only 70s Neil album I'm all that bothered about (and maybe Rust) and what is surely now one of my favourite album billboards.

Wow, that Zuma drawing looks great in color.

RIP "Sandy" Mazzeo, one of the standout supporting players in Shakey
