(And I took the liberty of embedding the clip. To do that here you only need to paste in the URL, not any embed code or formatting.)
Thanx Russ.
I did just paste the url but I use Opera and that has a few little foibles that manage to evade the most simple of tasks.
Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it. -
My first youtube upllode(sp ;-)
6:15 mins of Neil Young gloriousness, A day in the life/ Enjoy :-)

So. A mistake? or blatant copyright infringement? Did Harper pass it of as one of his own and Greer was duped?
Who knows?
A lot of water has been passed under the bridge since then. I wonder what Robbery would say?
But then again............. -
The Human Instinct secured a role as resident band at Auckland’s Bo Peep Club, then abandoned the gig to return to Britain in February 1969, where they invested in a massive PA and lighting system to blow audiences away. They remained there for three months, during which time they met New Zealand guitarist Jesse Harper (real name Doug Jerebine), who was to contribute seven songs to the band’s first three albums.
On their return home they were signed by Pye Records and entered Stebbing Studios to record their first blues-based album, Burning Up Years, which was released in late 1969. Three of the album’s seven songs were Harper compositions; one was Greer’s. (Another song, the A-side of their first single, "I Think I’ll Go Back Home", was a blues version of Neil Young’s "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere", but wrongly credited to Harper).

Does that clear it up? -
So's you don'thave to read all of his vile shite.
Israel and its neighbours are, after all, on the other side of the world, and I doubt whether one Kiwi in 100 gives a damn about what goes on there, let alone takes sides.
Nor should the Government. It has enough on its plate in dealing with pressing domestic issues, and the last thing it needs is to be distracted by what is, after all, just another bit of biff in an eternal hotspot.

manifestly ignorant, deeply biased or just callously indifferent.
Garth George, in the Herald, on Thursday, takes that particular soggy biscuit.

(I also really really hate bands who yell variants on 'you having a good time? Let me hear you!', etcetera, between every song,
Ahhh, memories.
I remember being at a gig at the Powerstation, years back, when the singer of songs, not Wane Anderson, yelled out "Hello Wellington" there were one or two "WHOO HOO"s and a lot of silence. You could see the confusion on the poor guy's face from the top bar. -
@ Danielle
I looked at Fatima's, I should have purchased some eatables there but my desire was for a burger. I don't know why but it just seemed so Big Day Out, to have ketchup running down my chin. I first offered my custom to one of those permanent kiosks behind the main stand, you know, that area that is always flooded with dubious liquids during large musical events at Ericsson Stadium. The pattie was kinda pink in the middle and came pre cooked, pre wrapped, pre digested and smothered in BBQ sauce from an undefined source. It was crap. Undeturd, I acquired a second example of sub-prime cuisine from the deceptively named "Gourmet something" (can't recall the second word) right up the back by the "Summut" bar. The bacon and chicken burger sounded good but my heart sank on seeing it being prepared. Warm, pre cooked chicken was slapped on the black and debris covered hotplate with a bit of pre fried bacon and half a bun to keep it company. The whole lot was whisked around with a greasy spatula for what seemed like seconds, doesn't time fly when you're having fun? slapped on the remaining half of the bun with a bit of limp lettuce and slipped into a plastic bowl. Gourmet indeed.
Needless to say, it was almost up to the standard of the previous endeavour which was now entering that part of the digestive system that makes those warning noises before the cramps set in. I was ready to dance the fandango with the Arctic Monkeys.
As I tripped, almost literally, down the steps to the main arena. Luckily I was afforded the welcoming vista of a row of portaloos.
Well, Andin from britz. You may well say "If you think the life of another human being is worthless you deserve to get the shits." I hope you were the guy behind me in that interminable queue.
Neil was good though.

Well. BDO hmmmmm. Neil was great. As for the rest of it, maybe I'm getting old. Now, having to pay $130 to be treated like a cross between cattle and refugees grates a little. The lack of competition between suppliers of food and beverages means that all we get is crap from the company that put in the lowest tender for the concession. In the case of "Summit, the natural lager' (so natural it, literally, tastes like piss) at $6 for a smaller than normal bottle and plastic to boot (so when ya boot it, it don't crack a skull, I guess) the company used the event as a huge product launch to all the mindless drunken hoards from Taranaki to Dargaville and beyond. It's no wonder kids today turn to drugs. Oh, and word up to people who win a Burger concession at events like this (yes, that includes sports events too) It may be cheaper to employ people that can't cook to save their ugly, fat and worthless lives but it gives me the shits (hang on I'll be back in a moment)...................................................................
Ah, better....................................................... Better get me a bucket.
Anypoo. another thing. Just because you have been working for the minimum wage since 5 in the morning and you want to go off to your job as a bouncer at fucknuts bistro and disco doesn't mean you have to shove me away from talking to an old mate who I haven't seen in years just because he's in a band and the other side of a barrier, FFS!!!!!!
So. BDO Organisers. I could do better standing on my head with a flowerpot stuck up my bum (Hi Craig) apart from the fact that last time I tried to stand on my head I sprained my wrist, rather badly actually, and it ruined my sex life for weeks.
But as I said. Neil was great.

Pilcher is generally an idiot,
And says things like........
As draconian as these measures sound, the illegal downloading of copyrighted content is theft.
How many times will this old chestnut be trotted out?
It ain't theft, it's copyright infringement, a civil offence. The moment you start chopping and changing laws to include civil offences with criminal offences you risk the long downhill slide into a Police state run for the benefit of those that are lucky enough to own stuff. It reminds me of a kid I knew at school who tried to charge people to look at his comic books, well, until someone nicked them and gave him a slap.
