<p>Neil Young &#8211; Heart of Gold (2 Collector&#8217;s Edition). Academy-award winning director Jonathan Demme beautifully captures Rock &#038; Roll Hall of Fame legend, Neil Young as he prepares and presents the performance of a lifetime with the help of his wife Peggi and friends country star Emmylou Harris, steel guitarist Ben Keith and more at Nashville&#8217;s Grand Ole Opry. Amazon.com &#8220;I just want to play well, share the stage with my friends, give the best I can,&#8221; says Neil Young before the concert that is the centerpiece of Heart of Gold. No problem, dude. Working with filmmaker Jonathan Demme, Young has come up with a gem&#8211;not all flash and bling-bling, but as understated as a single pearl, musically restrained yet emotionally open. Of course, neither Demme (an Oscar winner for The Silence of the Lambs; he also helmed Talking Heads&#8217; Stop Making Sense) nor Young would call it &#8220;a concert film&#8221;; the director describes it as &#8220;a dream concert, something that&#8217;s literally being dreamt by Neil,&#8221; while the singer-songwriter himself calls it &#8220;a multi-level story.&#8221; He and his band perform Prairie Wind in its entirety, and there is some deeply moving, highly personal material here; in addition to the gospel-tinged &#8220;When God Made Me&#8221; and the dirge-like &#8220;No Wonder,&#8221; Young sings about his recently-deceased father (the title song), his newly adult daughter (&#8220;Here for You&#8221;), the guitar he plays that once belonged to Hank Williams (&#8220;This Old Guitar&#8221;), and even his dog (&#8220;He Was the King&#8221;). This superb DVD package is filled out by a second disc of bonus features, including a variety of featurettes and a solo performance of &#8220;The Needle and the Damage Done&#8221; from The Johnny Cash Show in 1971. &#8211;Sam Graham</p>
