Just as Neil Young walked onstage, a meteor streaked across the sky above the stage.

From Twitter Feed:

Neil Young delivered an intimate folk set with his wife and a slide guitar player. Ah - just wonderful. #ambleside

"Played in an 11-hour concert today for over 9000 people… Pictures/met with Sarah McLachlan, Neil Young, Sheryl Crow… Never forget 09/12/09."

Neil Young acoustic set at Ambleside in WV on Saturday highlighted by Powderfinger and Pocahontas. The eastbound CN Rail train added charm.

Neil Young just finished, absolutely epic. Very cool to see a legend like him play live. Sarah McLachlan will be on soon.

At 9/13/2009 04:24:00 PM, Homesick in Paradise said...: Yes, 2 with "Old King" and now . with "Long May you Run" ;-)

listening to Rust Radio right now, a show from 2004, Neil and the Horse in Albuquerque.

WOW! SIMMERING, SMOKEY, HOT!!!!

No disrespect to neil's current touring band, but I yearn for the days of the Horse!
At 9/13/2009 10:46:00 PM, HarryO said...: It was a great show and a very nice way to celebrate my birthday -- a trip to Canada, party with rusties, unusual set from Neil... set list from Rust was submitted by me from the venue and is accurate.

Here is a video of Long May You Run:

At 9/14/2009 03:35:00 AM, Liza said...: There is also the clip "Hold back the tears"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry2PlV_YlhU

with an extra verse in the middle:

I call for a name out in the night
I feel for someone
But still something isn't right
All those streets I hesitate to use
Start looking better
When night brings on the blues

Love, Liza

It's all good sharing around the world. :)
At 9/14/2009 05:43:00 PM, Anonymous said...: that extra verse, isn't that on the acetate version of 'American Stars & Bars' (or 'Chrome Dreams I'?)

Peter Dees (Holland)
At 9/14/2009 06:18:00 PM, Anonymous said...: The extra verse is on the Chrome Dreams version of the song. It's obviously referring to the use of prostitutes, but Neil's champions here will argue against that interpretation, as it doesn't suit their image of Neil.
At 9/14/2009 11:06:00 PM, SONY said...: THAT is a hearty rendition of Hold Back the Tears! As good as I've seen of Neil. Could've been 30 years ago. Must be he's remastering his own live performances!
At 9/15/2009 09:39:00 PM, Kai said...: Nice meteor video, but it wasn't filmed in West Vancouver. The only place I know of that has those sideways traffic lights is Alberta (and I doubt you could hear Neil from there - at least not an acoustic set).
