...Sounds cool. Is he playing solo or with a band? <br /><br />Saw him with Crazy Horse several years ago in a barn in Milwaukee, with Social Distortion and Sonic Youth opening. It was a very noisy night, and the boomers who wanted to hear the folk-rock troubadour that classic rock radio had conditioned them to expect were a bit put out.zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732591742384495295.post-75744862742424327962010-07-19T20:01:01.465-07:002010-07-19T20:01:01.465-07:00Wow! What a wonderful and insightful critique of ...Wow! What a wonderful and insightful critique of the Neil Young concert. I think you hit the nail on the head and I bet (or hope) he gets to read this and respond. <br /><br />Do you think it will stress him out? <br /><br />That may be a factor in whether he will read anything,huh? <br /><br />This kind of bold analysis, from the historical mindfield called you, is fresh, informative, and directly appropriate for someone like Neil to bask in, methinks!<br /><br />It explains away my complaint that the concert had so little of Neil in it that I might as well listen to a record.....<br /><br />He is introspective, and protective of himself, while seating himself directly in the limelight that for most would cause the stress he is trying to avoid. <br /><br />How does he manage to perform and be introspective or protective at the same time, and be honored for the strong communication of his non verbal presence? <br /><br />He hardly said a word about anything other than the title of the song. I expected to get some inspiration and "all the young dudes carrying the news" revelations, being someone who can really make an impact. <br /><br />Was he challenged to keep it low keyed and focused? Or was he protecting himself? Or is this just old age? I recently watched Rust Never Sleeps and the Greendale concert DVD and thought I would get the same for my dollars... but I didn't. I enjoyed seeing him but I wanted him to enjoy us as well. <br /><br />So your post helps me to have a deeper understanding of this performer and what we just saw.<br /><br />I wish him well. I wish we could know him better. I wish we could interview him, after inviting him to dinner.Davis Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103476291153046742noreply@blogger.com
