NEIL YOUNG IN CONCERT:
Singer-songwriter legend Neil Young thrilled fans in 2013 with the announcement of North American and European tour dates alongside his longtime collaborative band Crazy Horse. Among the highly-coveted 2014 dates are four nights at Carnegie Hall as well as a series of “Honor of Treaties” benefit concerts with Diana Krall to aid the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Legal Defense Fund.
“Neil Young and Crazy Horse play like the rock and roll legends that they are. Truly a great show reminiscent of the classics from the early days.”
“They weren't going through the motions, they were making them. Improvising, jamming, messing up, laughing, only in the way Neil and the Horse can. They were so tightly tuned in to one another and sounded great, but the best part was that they seemed happy to be there, happy to perform.”
“Neil is a genius! After all these years, he still rocks and puts on a great show!”
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Since the late '60s, Young has released over 35 studio albums, exploring such diverse genres? as country-folk, pop, noise, punk, and electronica. He’s best known, however, for his iconic folk rock songwriting, popularized by his hugely successful collaborations with Crazy Horse and supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Never content to rest on his laurels, Young has remained musically prolific and sonically experimental, earning rave reviews for his 2012 double-LP release Psychedelic Pill.
Great show but a little short. But I guess Neil is getting old
While I wished for a longer show from Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts what they gave in ninety minutes was more than many acts provide in two or three hours. The mellow tunes were memorable chestnuts but when it came to rocking, Neil and the Hearts got downright grungy capped by the finale "Throw Your Hatred Down."See him when you the chance.
Neil Young was great, but the 80-minute show was way too short for the price. We paid roughly $24 PER SONG, and we were in the “cheap” seats. Those in better seats paid more than $50 per song. Hard to really enjoy a show when it costs you more than a month’s groceries.
He wore a baseball cap which covered a good part of face so you couldn't really see him. He played very no "classics"such as Down By the River, Southern Man, My,My Hey,Hey, Cortez the Killer, Rockin in the Free World or from his first 4 or 5 solo albums. And that's not to mention Buffalo Springfield. Under the circumstances, an hour and a half show was enough,
Neil Young slayed it & was awesome at Capitol Theater. Sound was exquisite & Neil rocked like it was 1975. I'm the Ocean, Home Grown, & Powder Finger were standouts! ??
I thought the new band brought enthusiasm. Fine selection of songs. The Capitol Theater security was a little too thorough for my taste.
Neil pulled together a band of experienced musicians that were all well versed in his music so it was easy for him to riff - some old -some new- all winners!
Amazing show, lucky enough to hear the first ever hey babe in concert. Neil has not lost the fire. Great energy and intensity throughout!
One of the greatest musical artists of all time playing in an iconic venue. I could not pass it up.
Anybody who was there knew they were experiencing something special...Intense performances and laid back good vibes ruled the night.A good time was had by all...
