Talk:On the Beach (Neil Young album)

The Band's rhythm section didn't play on See The Sky About To Rain
The bassplayer on that track was Tim Drummond. The Band's rhythm section (Levon Helm and Rick Danko) performed on Revolution Blues, however.

"Shakey" credits Ben Keith for the dobro and harmony vocal on "Turnstiles," so I changed the reference in the entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Context, please
Also of note is "Vampire Blues," an attack on the oil industry that foreshadowed Living with War by thirty years.

Actually, I would think it was about the oil industry and the energy crisis of 1973-74.--Fantailfan (talk) 01:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

It is the 22nd highest rated album of the 1970s on Rate Your Music, it is also ranked 77th on the all-time chart.

I would suggest this be removed because, although of the reviews are excellent, their opinion rankings are, at best, quirky.--Fantailfan (talk) 01:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
