Excellent rockin' - pity about the audience shots, February 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Weld [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the video to go with the "Weld" CD. It has the same songs as the 2 CD-set except the classic "Like A Hurricane" and "Farmer John" - it does have an interesting introduction featuring the infamous Roadas (roadies dressed as Jawas) as Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner is played.
All the music is electric and justifies why Neil is called the godfather of grunge by many people. There is a lot of juicy distortion.
The album features many classic Neil tunes such as "Hey Hey My My", "Welfare Mothers", "Cortez The Killer", "Powderfinger", "Tonight's The Night" and "Roll another Number for The Road". There are also newer classics such as the ultimate rendition of "Rockin' In The Free World" (forget Pearl Jam's!)
Obviously the music sounds better from a CD-quality recording than a VHS tape.
It's very enjoyable to watch Neil and the Horse play, especially on his rampaging solos and thrashing of his guitar.
My only complaint is that the camera focuses too much on the audience and there are some real freaks in there!

By Far The Best NY Show Available !!!!!!!!!!!!, February 14, 2006
This review is from: Weld [VHS] (VHS Tape)
First of all, WHY NOT PUT THIS OUT ON DVD!!! What are they waiting for. This is by far the best Neil Young show available. The only two fighting for a close second is Rust and Live at Redrocks. This VHS beats all other VHS and DVDs on the market. Now that it is out of print you better preorder it. If you are a Neil Young fan then you collection is incomplete without this concert.

Must be band politics....no DVD, May 20, 2007
This review is from: Weld [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I pre-ordered this on DVD in 2007 when Amazon said it was being released. They later sent me an email that my order has been canceled (!)
"Though we had expected to be able to send this item to you, we've since found that it is not available from any of our sources at this time."
Neil, I was at this show in Williamsburg, VA and have been patiently waiting 17 years for it to appear on DVD. What's going on? If someone in the band is balking just pay them off and release the DVD......
