Music Times ranks Neil Young’s “Dead Man” music score number 2 out of 7 top rock music scores of all time.
Guess which one is number 1#.
The publication writes:
“Neil Young’s score for Jim Jarmusch’s western Dead Man wasn’t actually composed. Rather, Young stood in a recording studio with some instruments and simply improvised music while watching a cut of the film. The resulting music is at times atmospheric and chaotic.”

You will always be on this page and in our hearts.
Rainer gave us all a commercial-free, private venue for almost 20 years on Bad News Beat and Human Highway so Zumans could travel freely and share their love of Neil Young – and their lives – with each other.
I cannot write more now. Your loss is profound, beyond measure.
BIG GREEN COUNTRY
Across the plain flew the lone grey rider
Leather bag pounding on his back
Above the clouds the moon was climbing higher
A pack of wolves wanted their money back
With folded arms the chief stood watching
Painted braves slipped down the hill
In his ears the spirit talking
As they closed in For an easy kill
At the house the door was wide open
Wind blew curtains off the rod
She was waiting and hoping
She was praying to her god
He was luckier than most men
He was barely in his prime
As she stood their in the doorway Her long dress flowing
Would he make it this time
Over the hill in the big green country
That’s the place where the cancer cowboy rides
Pure as the driven snow before it got him
Sometimes I feel like he’s all right
Sometimes I feel like a piece of paper

Here is the set list for Neil Young’s second night performance at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
No Thrasher tonight during the encore – it was replaced with “Blowin’ in the Wind.”
Neil yells “Fuck You” to some drunk, asshole dude screaming “CINNAMON GIRL.” Bravo Neil, epic. Right before launching into “Long May You Run.”
During the first set Neil replaces “Are You Ready for the Country” with “Reason to Believe.” In the second set “”After the Gold Rush” is replaced with “Harvest Moon” and “Flying on the Ground is Wrong” is replaced with “Heart of Gold.”
Neil plays again on Tuesday April 1 and Wednesday April. 2
