The story behind the song

This song was written by Neil Young during a time he was unable to sing due to vocal cord surgery, leading him to whistle the melody. It was conceived during a moment of intense partying, high up at Vista Point, and its creation involved an improvised synthesizer part that led Young to pick up his guitar and play along. The track, known for its fierce guitar and repetitive, circling rhythm, became a landmark of the electric side of his concerts. Playing it channels that raw, swirling energy.
