‘Harvest Moon’ was heralded as the sequel to ‘Harvest,’ Neil Young’s 1972 classic that remains his only No. 1 album. But we heard that before: Everything from the unreleased (but heavily bootlegged) 1977 LP ‘Chrome Dreams’ to various songs that have appeared on albums throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s have claimed that honor.
In a way, Neil Young’s ‘Decade’ – the three-LP, career-spanning retrospective that came out on October 28, 1977 – was rock’s first box set.
Legendary rocker Neil Young might not be the first guy you'd think of in terms of social media trendsetters, and with cheerful little ditties like 'The Needle and the Damage Done,' he might not make anyone's list of the funniest guys in the music business, either. But the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer proved to be both on Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 24), when he took to Twitter for an hour-long online chat that displayed his unusual sense of humor, becoming a worldwide trending topic in the process.

October 23, 2012 No, Neil Young isn't giving up his solo career or his gig with Crosby, Stills, and Nash, but he did join Guns N' Roses on stage over the weekend at his annual Bridge School Benefit concert.
Guns N' Roses played both nights and went acoustic, and were joined by their host Sunday evening for a cover of his "Don't Let It Bring You Down"
October 22, 2012 Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder made a brief surprise appearance at the first day of Neil Young's 26th Bridge School Benefit at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California on Saturday. Other than that, things went pretty much according to schedule, the only exception being an unexplained switch in running order, with Guns N' Roses following Jack White's set and Vedder's guest shot -- thereby taking the final slot before Young and Crazy Horse closed the evening out
When the lineup was announced for Neil Young's acoustic Bridge School Benefit this year, there was a little bit of surprise in seeing Guns N' Roses name on the list, given the band's penchant for blowing the roof off of venues. But Axl Rose and company worked up a set where the electric guitars weren't needed and delivered it Saturday night (Oct. 20) in Mountain View, Calif.
For more than a quarter of a century, the Bridge School Benefit Concert spearheaded by Neil Young has been a highlight of the San Francisco Bay Area's concert calendar -- but this year, you'll be able to join in the fun even if you don't happen to live in the area.
It won't be out until the end of the month, but Neil Young isn't waiting until Oct. 30 to start premiering music from 'Psychedelic Pill,' his new album with Crazy Horse -- in fact, he's just released a video for one of the record's longest tracks, 'Ramada Inn.'
