    Good and bad !! The Good- the Promise of the Real is a better band than Crazy Horse in terms of harmony and backing vocals, so the non-grunge songs really take off in concert. I saw Neal and the POR and they sounded great in concert, I was looking forward to a live release.
    The Bad- while the set list used on the CD is great I can say the opposite for the sound. It sounds like an audience    Good and bad !!

    The Bad- while the set list used on the CD is great I can say the opposite for the sound. It sounds like an audience recording, not even a good soundboard.

    What makes it great is something else - an energy and a vibe that give the strange sensation you're there with them. [Oct 2022, p.84]

    Promise of the Real give Noise & Flowers the muscle the music needs, which means the album never sounds nostalgic or stiff: it's a warm celebration of the music made while Elliot Roberts stood by Neil Young's side.

    The album is more of a celebration than a wake, thanks to the Promise Of The Real’s youthful exuberance and Young’s own ageless spirit. [Sep 2022, p.32]
