Today we get our third taste of Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s forthcoming Americana LP with the release of the video for Clementine. Once again the group puts their signature grunge-y stamp on a folk classic which has become a popular children’s song over the years. In keeping in line with the previously released clips for Americana tracks Oh Susannah and Jesus’ Chariot (She’ll Be Comin’ Around The Mountain), this video features “found” footage from our nation’s history that adds a perfect accompaniment to the music.
As we reported earlier this week, Myspace will be streaming select performances from this weekend’s Hangout Music Fest both live and on-demand from Gulf Shores. Today, Myspace has revealed the schedule for the webcast which features many HT faves such as Umphrey’s McGee, Alabama Shakes, Wilco and Jack White.
The action kicks off this afternoon at 2PM eastern time with a performance from Switchfoot and continues through 11PM when a broadcast of Jack White’s set finishes. Tomorrow, the webcast begins at 2:15 EDT with a live set from Heartless Bastards and concludes with String Cheese Incident’s first set of 2012. On Sunday, there are two “TBA” slots with the webcast set to conclude at 11:30PM EDT.

New Orleans. N’awlins. NOLA. Crescent City. The Big Easy.
I’ve heard the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, referenced in so many ways over the years, but after spending five nights there for the world famous Jazz Fest, only one word comes to mind: Love.
I devoured meal after meal at restaurants and the Jazz Fest Fairgrounds, so I’m going to let the pictures speak for themselves. What struck me the most about eating in this city was how much pride goes in to cooking every dish. There is very little pretension, even in the best restaurants in the city. Restauranteurs are extremely proud of their local ingredients, as they should be.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Wrecking Ball World Tour may have left the states, but the group has continued their M.O. of dusting off long lost material as the European leg gets underway. Last night at the Estadi Olimpic in Barcelona, Spain, The Boss shocked his fans by playing the oft-requested extended intro version of his 1978 single Prove It All Night for the first time since 1980.
Prove It All Night may be a staple for the band, but until last night every take over the past 32 years has stayed true to album version when upon its debut PIAN was an in-concert epic that featured a ferocious guitar solo before the song kicked in. While last night’s solo doesn’t quite compare to some of the PIAN solos from the band’s fabled Darkness Tour in 1978, it’s certainly a fantastic start to what many fans are hoping will be a bright future for the tune as the tour continues.
Yesterday’s performance also saw the tour debuts of You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch) and Hungry Heart as well as the second version on this tour of two of The Boss’s biggest hits – The River and Born In The U.S.A. All in all, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band continue to dig deep in creating the setlists for each show this tour. The band returns to Estadi Olímpic again tonight.
