Great, love it when he talks about Ian Tyson (didn't mention Sylvia though) and going to the lake and listening to "Four Strong Winds" over and over again.

Neil does an absolutely superb version of "Imagine" on that 9/11 tribute disc.

We saw CSNY at the MGM in Las Vegas a year or so ago - only really went to see Neil and he did not disappoint. One of the best live performers I've ever seen.

Have tickets to see the great man at Malahide. Can't wait. Just got to persuade Swoop that he needs to come.

cowtownred · « **Reply #91 on:** June 24, 2008, 11:38:12 pm »

Anyone know the support acts at Malahide?

Doors open 5pm, wonder when Neil comes on? (I have golf at Portmarnock first

)

The legend was fantastic last night. Magic concert.

From the opening notes of 'Love and only love' to the close with, believe it or not, 'A day in the life' he was on top form.

Very jealous of you Shaun. Very.

Nice interview with him in the Sunday Times yesterday. He has a new film opening soon documenting 2006's Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "Freedom of Speech" tour in the US. It's apparently a warts and all portrayal which includes hundreds of audience members walking out of the Atlanta gig in disgust when they sang "Let's impeach the President".

cowtownred · « **Reply #94 on:** June 30, 2008, 11:40:32 am »

Broke every string on 'Old Black' Kev... he was really pumped. A 20 minute version of 'Love..' and also 'Words'. Sensational.

Ha ha... can't wait to see 'Freedom of Speech'; Was it to include 'Dick Cheney is overweight' and Rumsfeld is a murderer' I wonder?

Can't get enough of that Neil Diamond fella can you, Shaun?

Enjoyed last night so much, have just sorted travel/ticket to see the show in Europe this summer

(Lahs... expect a call

Loved having Young play 10 minutes away from me (I'm a Malahide man) but cause of the final I didn't go. Could have just saw in the garden and listened for free too though

Was a great gig, only slight disappointment was that Rockin In The Free World didn't get an airing

For me, was 'Like a Hurricane'.

But with a back catalogue of 30 + albums..... in 2 hours... its shit for brains.

I'd pay the cash just for 'Love and only love', 'Old man' and 'Powderfinger'. Everything else was a bonus, n'est ce pas? Fuck me.... to hear the leg do Spirit Road, Words, Lonesome me, Hey hey, Unknown legend etc etc etc.... it was fucking amazing. And an encore like that? Ger, you're a very lucky fella.

I'm gonna go to either Berlin or Coburg in August... if you're keen.. send me a PM or text.

* Oh, Kev.... that goes for you too mate *

I'm sooo jealous too, sounds like some show, Neil, unlike some of his peers, seems to always deliver on stage, would have been great to hear Oh Lonesome Me, an underrated Young gem imho.

Wish I could but don't think the finances can stretch too far with the new season just around the corner!

Tonight on the Werchter festival. What a man.
Asks 1 million euros for a gig as well. Keep on rocking in the free world!

Booked up travel for Berlin. At Spandau. Have done bugger all else for a week except play Neil Young albums... even now all in my head is 'Sugar mountain'.

So, never seen Berlin, or Spandau; want to see the legend again, desperately. Choice.. this, or Hicks' Liverpool. Was easy in the end. Even got 3 mates to go too, so doing a 2 night trip to see Shakey.

CANNOT FUCKING WAIT.

cowtownred · « **Reply #104 on:** July 4, 2008, 11:52:41 pm »

Even better!

Have sorted Neil Young in Berlin 19 August, then to Zurich on 20th... see Clapton that night, and Neil again in Zurich on 21st! Then home.

If anyone I know is interested in all or part of this, PM me.

Dead cheap too

Out On The Weekend
Don't Let It Bring You Down

Ohio

In fact
No
I can't list some stuff, i love almost everything the lads done. "Are You Passionate" is far from his best but he's got such a wonderful command of melody it's untrue. I can only dream of writing songs like our Neil. His greatest piece of advice I remember was just get pissed or stoned and let songs come to you. Happy days!

Looking at flights now - seems too good to be true.

Who is playin on Neil's day? I see The Jayhawks are which is great news too.

Flights and tickets all booked (although I'm not ruling out a detour via Rome and I have checked that there are cheap flights from Rome to Barca on Thursday morning

I see he has announced some UK dates.

Reckon I will go to this though. Seems too good to miss!

gritsvanilla · « **Reply #118 on:** March 6, 2009, 01:35:55 am »

Am i alone in thinking that Tonights The Night is one of the most achingly beautiful and honest albums ever recorded and that his cracked out of tune vocals on "Mellow My Mind" is one of the most touching vocal performances ever, few artists would have the balls to leave such a nakedly honest performance on record.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #119 on:** March 6, 2009, 08:50:33 am »

He has now announced as headliner for Isle of Wight.

Some amazing posts on their forums by people not knowing who he is, etc. It is actually laughable.
