Like a Hurricane

I didn't watch too much of Glastonbury this weekend, I was busy (more of which anon). However I did catch a bit of Neil Young's headline slot via the BBC iplayer and it reminded me just how much I love his work. I've only seen him the once, at a fantastically wet Fleadh in Finsbury park, and it remains one of my all time favourite festival gigs.

Like a hurricane is one of his best songs, surviving being on a mediocre album (American Stars n Bars. Remember, though, even average Neil Young is way ahead of the competition), and going on to be a staple of his live set for many years. The couplets "You are like a Hurricane, there is calm in your eye" and "I want to love you but I get so blown away" always get me...

Here it is unplugged:


and fully electric.


Amazing
