the old man still has it
I don't often pay for big ticket concerts (previous concert: $15), but when I heard Neil Young was coming, after having spent all of last spring obsessively re-listening to his music, I knew I had to go. And it was so worth it. Many of his lyrics suddenly seem to apply again and there was a guy in front of me who kept shouting, "Neil! Tell us what to do! We need a real leader!" I particularly love his anthems with the long guitar solos, and he did play 'Cowgirl in the Sand' and 'Cortez the Killer' but I would've loved to have heard 'Like A Hurricane' so searched around on YouTube for a good version (though it's not very recent) to post here.
By the way, there was a guy painting on large canvases at the back of the stage (talk about a dream job!) and I hear he was also doing the same thing in Calgary. Does anyone know who he is and what it's all about?

Brilliant, Andrea. Glad you went, glad you enjoyed it, glad it brought those old feelings back.
I wish now I had gone to his concert here, but I felt "Helpless, helpless helpless helpless."
:-)
Andrea I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard this! Ah, I suddenly feel 16 again - thank you.
Wish I had been there with you! I'm a bit envious actually...

I love Neil and Hurricane is looped in my soundtrack.
He lived here in Whateverpeg for about a week but we always try to make him one of our own.
