Notes
[talking about Freedom] Take "Too Far Gone," "Ways of Love," "Someday," and "Don't Cry" off the record. Those are the songs that bother me. The older songs all escaped when I wrote them. "Ways of Love" was a great song when I wrote it in '75, and if I had recorded it then ... But I made a remake of it. It's hard for me to go back when I feel like I should be taking care of the new ones. If I don't get it when it's new, forget it. Then it gets fucked up. That's another frustration of making records. But I don't really make records - I do performances and I record them. Neil Young The Village Voice/Jimmy McDonough December 1989
I was walking down the walking street, some night like Friday. Might have been Friday. I was very stoned, out of my mind. Visiting with new friends here in Denmark who introduced me to all possible varieties of everything that they had all at once. I was, I was - just uh - never been so high in my whole life. But it certainly is a beautiful place to walk around and look at even if you're Too Far Gone. That's what this song is called. It's a new song I wrote. I like this one. Neil Young Falkonerteatret, København, Denmark March 16, 1976
I'd like to do a new song, a new song you haven't heard before. It's about life in American bars. Neil Young Sporthalle, Köln, West Germany March 20, 1976
This is a song from an album I'm working on now. It's nice to play for all you people. I'll sing you a song now about the way you woke up last weekend. Neil Young The Forum, Inglewood, California, USA November 4, 1976
