Neil Young…

WeIl….thought I’d come back this morning and do a short one about the free Neil Young concert from last night….it was similar to the one from earlier in the year that he did from Omemee, Ontario, a town that Neil lived in as a kid. Lot of just Neil wandering around the stage and picking up instruments in a seemingly random way and the songs seemed to be random as well…he went way back into the Buffalo Springfield catalog and did a lot of songs I have never seen him do before and that was an unexpected treat…as was the electric version of “Ohio” that he did with an alternating quiet/screaming loud arrangement that was just too cool….he even went into how he wrote the song after seeing the iconic photo on the cover of Time Magazine of the woman kneeling next to a dead student at Kent State that he saw lying on a table in the rain…..it was a very personal performance that I was blown away by…he even called David Crosby a great friend…maybe it’s the first step in their reconciliation? Hope so….
