Notes
Here's a new song for you. A song I wrote for my old lady. I hear some of you yelling out some of those old songs and I gotta keep it going. I got a lot of new songs here. Probably won't be doing too many old ones. Got a lot of new ones. Keeps it happening for me and for the band up here, you know. So we want to try to get off for you as much as we can, so you can dig the new ones. Here's a new one called New Mama. Neil Young Cobo Hall, Detroit, Michigan, USA January 8, 1973
This next tune is a tune I wrote a little while ago - just a while ago - about five months ago or something, when my old lady had a baby - I wrote this song. People always come up and say, "Did you write a song about your kid yet? Hey - did you write a song about your kid?" And I say, "No, not yet. Don't know if I'm gonna. Can't think of anything nice." But I finally did it anyway. I kept thinking about that morning, you know - too much! Neil Young Scope Arena, Norfolk, Virginia, USA January 29, 1973
