FYI, the Ambulance Service in Western Australia has for a long time been operated by a charity (St Johns Ambulance) despite a succession of Labor state governments there.

Here's a list of the Full Concerts available so far on the NWA website. The release schedule is pretty erratic, but its averaging a new one released roughly every month. Year Date Venue Line-up 1969 16/10/1969 (First set) Ann Arbor, Michigan Solo 1976 06/11/1976 Boulder, Colorado Crazy...

Yes indeed. I'm hoping they will also upload the 3rd set he played that night at some point. The third set has Down to the Wire - the only time he has ever played it live.

Hi, he didn't perform live at all in 1979, and only once in 1980. The 1980 one was connected to the launch of Hawks & Doves, but on that occasion they also performed an unreleased song I've never heard played called Winter Winds. In 1981 he appeared once on stage as a guest at a tribute concert...

There hasn't been a new recorded concert performance on the Neil Young Archive web site for over a month, but the new one loaded this morning is great if you are in to rarities. It is from Ann Arbour, Michigan, 16 October 1969 - first set. Only 11 songs, but four are debuts and at least 3 have...

I think Myxomatosis played a part. I also remember my Nan saying that they had to eat a lot of rabbit during the war and got fed up of it.

Was at Newborough beach on Sunday. We usually get there early and leave late. I like walking out to the island, walking on the beach towards Bodorgan, walking through the forest, BBQ. We spend all day there when we go. Car park fees now £7. I remember when it was free (but they have...

How about Motown Neil ?

I am interested to see what Netflix do with the TV adaptation of Michael Connelly's The Lincoln Lawyer, currently in production. Michael Connelly says there wont be any cross-over with Bosch due to the programmes being made by different networks. (The main character in the Lincoln Lawyer is...

There's nothing Toulouse

I am pretty sure that if I use my car less then I will be paying less tax! Walking more and eating less red meat is also good for health reasons, not just the environment. Also, I am very aware that a significant number of people couldn't care less about the environment we live in, you just...

We can't ignore our own pollution levels though. According to Public Health England between 25,000 and 32,000 people die in the UK each year from conditions linked to high levels of air pollution. Obviously some of that pollution comes from source such as Power Generation, Industry...

I think we can do a fair bit to make a difference at a personal level. If enough people care enough to change their habits, I mean. e.g. one of the quickest (and cheapest) wins is modify what you eat. Some foods have a much bigger carbon footprint than others, with beef, lamb and dairy...

A while ago I listened to all the live albums chronologically. At the time there were something like 20 live (or performance) albums altogether, but the precise number depends on things like whether to regard Rust Never Sleeps as a live album or not... But, since then a few more live albums...

Yes, definitely. Bad boy, Neil ! Another instance I already knew about concerns Needle & the Damage Done. The opening seems to owe a bit to Needle of Death by Bert Jansch.

Do you mean he 're-purposed' one of his own tunes, or that he ripped off someone else's?

Borrowed Tune?

Russia did nothing at all to help save our country when we were in danger of attack. Quite the opposite, they were assisting our attackers. Before they entered the war the Americans sent us important weapons and vital raw materials. Before they were attacked the Russians were sending the...

The Soviets weren't our allies in 1939. Instead, they collaborated with the Nazis to start the war in the first place, helping to take out one of our key allies in the process.

I guess the Matilda 1 was more of a mobile pillbox than what we usually think of as a tank. The same is true of the Panzer 1. I know the Churchill had great hill climbing ability, and this was very useful when it was used as a platform for specialised roles such as the AVRE. Armoured...
