A 20-minute version of "No Hidden Path" is the centerpiece of Jonathan Demme's " Neil Young [ tickets ] Trunk Show," a concert film that documents two nights at Philadelphia's Tower Theatre on Young's 2007 tour. Demme's first Young film, "Heart of Gold," is similar only in that it, too, was shot over two nights--at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.

The new film, which screens in the US beginning March 19 but does not yet have a Blu-Ray/DVD release date, has a far greater stylistic mix and less of a unifying theme as a hook. Young's tour at the time was for "Chrome Dreams II," an album of electric and acoustic songs that had its roots in a shelved album the mid-1980s; "Heart of Gold" drew a throughline from Young's biggest hit and more mellow, recent acoustic works.

"Trunk Show" is a guitar film. The songs, save for "Cinnamon Girl," "Like a Hurricane" and "Cowgirl in the Sand," are largely obscure, and a few--"Sad Movies," "Kansas" and "Mexico"--even had longtime Young fans befuddled when they made their way into set lists on the tour. There's little time spent with backstage or travel scenes; this is about the performance from the perspective of the front row, the drum kit and the stage hands.

Demme holds shots for lengthy periods, adding extra focus on the performance. Shows on that tour were divided between acoustic and electric sets; the film mixes and matches to hold the viewer's interest.
