| Note | a.k.a. Citizen Kane Junior Blues |
| J-Card Comment | <b>Citizen Kane Junior Blues</b> captures Neil's 5/16/74 acoustic performance at New York's Bottom Line, along with a pair of additional tracks. This bootleg perfectly documents the live side of Neil's mid-1970's "Dark Period" of intense introspection. As such, <b>Citizen Kane Junior Blues</b> (the CD's title comes from Neil's alternate title for "<i>Pushed It Over The End</i>") is essential. Directly following the release of <b>On The Beach</b>, Neil decided to do a brief solo tour in support of the album. He really never got a chance to do a full tour as he chose to hit the road with CSN. Before he did, though, he did a handful of acoustic sets. With the exception of "<i>Helpless,</i>" all of the songs were unreleased at the time of this performance, making for some interesting first impressions by the crowd. Indeed, two songs ("<i>Greensleeves</i>" and "<i>Dance, Dance, Dance,</i>" which isn't listed on the label) remain unreleased today; a third, "<i>Pushed It Over the End,</i>" was put out as a CSNY 12-inch single in Italy. <b>On The Beach</b> is the backdrop for this recording, with four of its songs performed live and a fifth ("<i>For The Turnstiles</i>") appearing as a low quality recording of what could be the actual studio version (the label doesn't say). Renditions of "<i>Pardon My Heart,</i>" "<i>Long May You Run,</i>" "<i>Roll Another Number</i>" and "<i>Flying on the Ground Is Wrong</i>" (the latter recorded in a 1970 Carnegie Hall performance) round out the songs. Through the steady clanging of glasses and beer bottles, this unusual, but decent, audience recording conveys the ambience of this intimate venue. In contrast to the heaviness of many of the song lyrics, Neil is extremely light-hearted and talkative, adding a dimension to this CD that is uncommon in Neil's live work. |
