All's good with the Neil Deal, like everyone else, some on diets, some working out a bit more, some new guitars &amp;amp; adding new songs all the time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We return to Hermosa Beach CA for the huge Fiesta Hermosa with a Labor Day Sunday Brunch FREE concert on Sunday Sept. 6 where we'll do our longest show of the year including lots of Neil's acoustic music, just 100 feet from the beach. (&amp;amp; possibly recording our next LIVE CD!).  The groups reviews have been great this year,too.  The band is looking to perform at more 'Concerts In The Park' in the coming year, so if you know of one that you'd like to bring us to, &lt;a href="mailto:bzonline@earthlink.net"&gt;get in touch&lt;/a&gt;.

It was a great thrill to have Scott Hofferber join us on stage to do the French Horn solo in After The Gold Rush. This was the first time first time performing this arrangement live with Tony Kaye now playing keyboards with the group &amp; three part harmonies from Dennis, Jim &amp; Bruce. What a great crowd out there people of all ages &amp; description who love Neil Young's music and enjoy the tribute that the Neil Deal performs. Great vocal work by Dennis Neil as usual in his portrayal of Neil Young.  This event gave us the chance to perform several songs we don't do very often, so it was extra fun for us too.  Bert Wolf on drums kept the crowd going all the way through our THIRD encore, that was followed by fireworks!!

Joining us for this show was our friends Tony Kaye on Keys &amp; Jim Altman on guitar.  After a bit of some challenges with the sound system &amp; having lead singer (Neil Young in the group) Dennis Neil stopped &amp;amp; started by the PA dying, we had the show mgmt show up with some extra equipment &amp; the band continued for a solid 1.5 hr set without a break.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;  Beautiful Santa Monica weather &amp; a fantastic audience that seemed to know the words as good (in some cases better) than we did, made for a great afternoon.  There's something special about Neil Young's music.  Maybe it's the lyrics, maybe the melody or a combo of all of them that brings people together.   One of the people in the audience was just enjoying the show a lot &amp; afterwards came up to me to say "Thank You" for really taking him on a trip through his memories of those years in the 1960's &amp;amp; 1970's.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;  Zeda Spiegel, who was taking care of our mailing list &amp; cd sales, was approached by one enthusiastic fan who came to her &amp;amp; said, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, NEIL YOUNG IS PLAYING HERE, OH MY GOD !!!!!.  Just another day in the life of The Neil Deal,  not the real deal, but the next best thing if you love Neil Young's music!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;  later.....Bruce...... bassist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6909750-111989435049000499?l=neildeal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neildeal.blogspot.com/feeds/111989435049000499/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6909750&amp;postID=111989435049000499' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6909750/posts/default/111989435049000499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6909750/posts/default/111989435049000499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neildeal.blogspot.com/2005/06/neil-deal-americas-top-tribute-to-music.html' title=''/><author><name>Bruce</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://www.neildeal.com/ndgallery/images/2981.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909750.post-111965090922420300</id><published>2005-06-24T15:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-24T15:08:29.230-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Neil Young tribute band The Neil Deal (&lt;a href="http://www.neildeal.com"&gt;www.neildeal.com&lt;/a&gt;) will be performing this Sunday June 26 at Santa Monica's Main Street Soulstice festival. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We haven't been to the LA West side for a while &amp; will be bringing our friends Tony Kaye to join us on Keyboards, and Jim Altman on 2nd guitar.

No doubt, the first weekend of summer in SoCal, temperatures in the 90's, but people having a great time.

Great crowd, great event! Special thanks to the Stage Producer Alfie Martin &amp; his crew who got us up &amp; playing on stage in record time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the exciting things for the band is to meet so many incredible Neil Young fans. We get a different perspective from the stage, seeing you all singing along with the songs, some guys knowing the guitar riffs by heart (air guitar), and getting up on your feet dancing to the songs that grab you.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you wish, go to our comment page &amp; leave a note for us, we all read them. Have a great Memorial Day &amp; honor troops serving overseas so we can keep 'Rockin' in the Free World.

Whether you're a Neil fan of his acoustic classics or the Crazy Horse rock n roll, we'd like to introduce ourselves.  We're a high quality rock group called The Neil Deal, who perform at tribute to NY&amp;CH. You need to know that we're all huge Neil Young fans &amp; put our hearts &amp; souls into recreating his great music for you.  We've mostly performed around the western states &amp; are based in the San Fernando Valley, not far from where Neil did a lot of recording while he lived in nearby Tujunga. Check us out at &lt;a href="http://www.neildeal.com"&gt;www.neildeal.com. &lt;/a&gt;  We've recently played venues like &lt;strong&gt;House of Blues, BB Kings &amp; SoHo in Santa Barbara&lt;/strong&gt;. This summer will be at many major festivals as well as clubs. As musicians, we're all "seasoned" (still fresh, though) musicians.  Our lead singer/guitarist is Dennis Neil, who does fantastic "Neil" voice, looks &amp; performance.   Mr. Vic Herstein on guitar, Bert Wolf on drums &amp; (me) Bruce Spiegel on bass.  We'll keep our calendar up to date &amp; we'll see you soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6909750-108394151825632321?l=neildeal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neildeal.blogspot.com/feeds/108394151825632321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6909750&amp;postID=108394151825632321' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6909750/posts/default/108394151825632321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6909750/posts/default/108394151825632321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neildeal.blogspot.com/2004/05/welcome-whether-youre-neil-fan-of-his.html' title=''/><author><name>Bruce</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://www.neildeal.com/ndgallery/images/2981.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
