This is song for everybody trying to find their seat here in this theater. Neil Young Hammersmith Odeon, London, England March 28, 1976

I was at a meeting the other day. Not an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting - not that I have a problem with that - this was a hockey pool meeting. We were choosing the teams and everybody had a good idea what was going on. Every team - a group of people in the pool - had one smart guy who'd been doing homework. We had a list of the teams. Just as I was getting ready to choose our last team, three people from Norway showed up behind me. I had no idea who they were, but they were introduced to me by a friend of mine, who totally surprised me with these three folks from Norway who were ardent fans and members of the Young Neils - a band. Just kind of like a thing they'd had for twenty or thirty years there in Norway. I was trying to keep my focus on the hockey pool ... I was again distracted when one of these folks pulled a guitar out and started playing one of my songs [laughter]. This is a song I hadn't heard in maybe thirty years or so. I'd like to do it for you now. Neil Young Nokia Live, Los Angeles, California, USA October 30, 2007

This song was about the Glendale Theatre. I don't know if it's even there - by Brookdale and Avenue Road. That's where that one (came from). Neil Young Massey Hall, Toronto, Ontario, Canada November 26, 2007

[after playing the song] You know, when Reverend Ike made this place into a place where he could have his services, he changed it from being a movie theater. And since that day, 2001: A Space Odyssey has been up there in the projector and it's still up there. Were any of you here for that screening? I wouldn't have left. I'd stay. I remember when I saw that movie. There was this guy in a group called Spirit - his name was Randy California. And we were all at the movies. And at that part - in the middle of that movie - when things were starting to go haywire, Randy got up and walked right through the screen. Yeah, he just parted it and walked right through it. It was made out of threads. It was the weirdest thing I ever saw. He walks right in. Neil Young United Palace, New York City, New York, USA December 19, 2007

This song, written a long time ago, was never recorded with a band, which might have been cool. So now what I have to share with you is this solo version, under the watchful eye of director Tim Pope [from the London 2008 film]. Neil Young NYA - Now Showing in the Hearse Theater November 20, 2019
