In the original performances Will was played by Geoffrey Streatfeild and Sarika by Stephanie Street. ''On the Beach'', which takes its name from the 1974 song by Neil Young, mainly involves Will's relationship with his father Robin (played ...

On The Beach (Neil Young Album)
''On the Beach'' is the fifth studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young, released by Reprise Records in July 1974. It is the second of the so-called "Ditch Trilogy" that Young recorded following the massive success of 1972's ''Harvest'', and reveals the artist grappling with feelings of over-exposure, alienation and melancholy. Background Looking back on the album for the liner notes to the ''Decade'' box set, Young wrote of " Heart of Gold": "This song put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore, so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there." Recorded after (but released before) '' Tonight's the Night'', ''On the Beach'' shares some of that album's bleakness and crude production — which came as a shock to fans and critics alike, as this was the long-awaited studio follow-up to the commercially and critically successful ''Harvest''. It hinted towards a more subtle outlook, particularly on the opening trac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
