Blueshill5, Neil's guitar is actually a Gretsch 6120. That was his main guitar in the Springfield days before he picked up Old Black, the '53 Les Paul.

The Studio Version in "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" is The Best.

The host is David Steinburg. He strangely enough was raised in Winnipeg like Neil.David was a fairly popular comedian back then he did the major talk shows and later directed in movies and TV.

Mine too. People call me biased because he's my favorite all time in general, but frankly, I just love the way he plays guitar too. It's his songwriters ear for what sounds good. He understands it's not how many chords you play, but the feeling and sound you get from it. Their duel solos are a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Stills is much more a blues taught guitar player, where as Neil is very raw and crude as if some people would say...he just has his own style and it works.

Neil's guitar appears to be a Gretsch. I don't think its a 6120. Anyone know the model?

Found it. The announcer is David Steinberg. A 60s and 70s comedian.

Cool story about Neil and his family at Christmas.
This band is the first I ever saw in a very large concert in 1974. It was CSNY, Santana and Jesse Colin Young. Not a bad start at all.
You're right about the drummer. I think that was Greg Reeves. This was just after they first appeared at Woodstock as CSNY.
I'm having trouble remembering who the host of this show was. He was a 60s comedian.

Neil Young actually grew up about 10 minutes from where I live. He was born and raised in Omemee Ontario, Canada. One night I was really drunk and I phoned Neil's house (this was in 1988 or 1989 around Xmas time) and Scott Young (Neil's Dad) answered. Very nice and a gentleman with a bunch of drunk teenagers. Neil was shovelling his Dad's driveway!!!! I read in the paper a couple of days later that Neil did in fact spend XMas with his folks in Omemee.
