You are a lucky man. Did you see Neil Young at his peak? Old Black is a very special instrument.

Big Star are an interesting band, their first couple of albums are quite good, but I prefere the material which came ater the song writing duo Chris Bell and Alex Chilton split.

Third/Sister Lovers was written by Chilton and is up there with Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue, when it comes to undiscovered gems from the 70s.

Chris Bell was killed in a car crash aged 27, but there is a collection of his post Big Star recordings called I am the Cosmos. Well worth a listen.
