Eldorado in Bloomington, MN

When this five-song, 25-minute EP was released in Japan in 1989, it served notice that
Neil Young
was capable of writing powerful songs and playing fierce
rock & roll
again, a fact confirmed by the subsequent release of the
Freedom
album. Three of the songs on
Eldorado
turned up on that record (including
"Don't Cry"
in a different version), but
"Cocaine Eyes"
and
"Heavy Love"
did not, making this disc a necessary purchase for
Young
completists. ~ William Ruhlmann
