Then the unfamiliar chords which lead into "Aurora Borealis the icy sky........" wonderful, if anything captures the typical Crazy Horse "sound" on the night it was this, beautiful spaces between the noise and a great melody to hang their vocals on.
Perhaps it was the second pass of the refrain that Neil sang, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon and Me, The bootleg will bear out whether this was truly the case or I’m clean off my rocker and hearing things.
The monster that is Slipped Away seemed to drift off into some sonic loop which to me got to the point it created an almost cocteau twins vibe with the vocals playing a part of the overall sound rather than any sort of focal point.

 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Feldesh.” In his short story, Marlyn traces the intellectual emancipation of a Hungarian woman, a process that seems to parallel her Canadianization.
Anna Feldesh’s victory is clearly a small one, that of someone whose Canadianization allows her, not to find untold riches, but to discover that she has a mind of her own.
Indeed, not the least of the cultural ironies in Marlyn’s story is that the ability to read the Eaton’s catalogue can be a great “joy” in a person’s life.
