Neil Young - Shots [Live at the Boarding House, 1978]

From a subscriber-only video release by the Neil Young Archives. We finally have a good quality sound version of this song in its initial, acoustic form. Recorded live at the Boarding House on May 27th, 1978.

Pure emotion. Uncle Neil is a legend .

[@johnnyquest3707]

I saw a couple of these shows and even snuck in a big cassette recorder and taped a bunch of one show. Still have it. A different night there it was packed and there were a few tables right up against the 4 1/2 or so foot stage. A couple were empty so I slipped a guy working there five bucks and my girlfriend and I got one. Five bucks! Sometimes he was a foot away. I still have matches from the show, too.

[@ragnarandersen2650]

Which show did you record parts of?

[@morningstarmusic6705]

The first time I saw Neil I thumbed from wheeling to the melon arena and back with my best friend who just passed away a little over a year ago we had peanut heaven seats with my friend leading the way we made it to the front of the second section it was the rusted out garage tour

Legend.

A MASTERPIECE ! Two completely different versions that give an idea of the greatness of NY.

[@jakemarlow8998]

Holy crap ... the audio quality of this recording is top-notch!!! Thanks so much for the upload.

[@dariorovati254]

Beautiful intense version, with additional verses to the one present in Reactor. Recent news is that the 1978 Boarding House concert film will be included in the NY Archives Vol. III.

Song bursting pure pain and beauty

I live finding rare versions of neil young's songs. Especially ones recorded way before the studio version was released. Awesome to see how his music evolves. Thanks for posting

NPY has such a great range of expression.

Neil was at his pinnacle greatest in 1978

[@beachlifebestlife]

nice.....be sure to take a listen to On The Beach from 4 years earlier......killer....and ... rare on lp

Merci beaucoup, superbe version

[@kissmabass]

It’s not in the album version on reactor

[@gotoads3618]

Awesome. Thanks!

[@robcadd5845]

A song that is, so unfortunately, always actual

[@keithbishop9759]

Thought I had heard all of Neil Young’s songs. Guess not.

[@gotoads3618]

If you've never heard Shots (from Re·ac·tor, 1981) then there are probably over a hundred Neil songs you've never heard.

[@ronnytotten9292]

There are so many neil young songs its almost impossible to have heard all that were released!

[@erichaeberle2556]

Neil never stops. He’s an actual artist. Not compelled by advertising or sales to create art. He’s ACTUALLY one of the true old rockers that stuck to the rock and roll mentality. Doesn’t allow suits and ties to tell him how to write or produce songs.

[@bauseeker]

New to me, thank you, very cool

[@chriscreelman773]

Didn't know it was that old of a song. Only knew the Electric version on RE Actor

[@jamescarey4968]

Look at how young he looks in the picture,who knows where or when.

[@frodoggbooboo]

He looks like a hillbilly from Kentucky or Tennessee ... just one of his MANY looks.

[@oliverhenderson4243]

This acoustic version is far superior to the electric version that appeared on Reactor. It is a pity Neil never released this acoustic version on a studio album.

[@brenthargreaves7085]

reactor is the greatest record ever my man! its all just personal opinion in the end aint it?

[@erichaeberle2556]

Agreed. For this song, the acoustic version hits home better for me. Although the Reactor album is one of his best!

たしかに、このアコースティックバージョンも素晴らしいのだけれど、エレクトリックライブバージョンが聴きたい！想像するだけで、熱くなってしまう！　ダンナより。

[@ryansettani388]

anyone know if he ever played this live with Crazy Horse? of all his 1000s of songs the CH version of this is great too!

[@cynthiamarston2208]

Accoustic is often the better treatment…..I figured that out when Unplugged was popular.

[@7MazziMiii7]

Oh, such a beautiful voice!!! Truly heavenly.🌷🌸💖
