The DVD-Audio of Harvest does sound incredible, even though it isn't all that great of an album. Hasn't dated as well as some of Neil's other albums. I only bought it because of a few songs and the DVD-Audio aspect. Neil Young-Greendale. Try somewhere before you buy. I found it to be an overlong drag. The DVD also tends to drag on forever. A well intention dud, in my opinion.
