From starcasm.net | PHOTO SETLIST Neil Young Panama City, FL September 20, 2010 Gulf Coast Tour:
It was well worth the trip for us prodigal fans as Neil delivered a spirited and diverse set that featured tunes from throughout his 40+ year music career ranging from old classics like “Down By The River” and “Cinnamon Girl” to very recent tunes like “Love and War” and “.” In addition to the diverse timeline, Neil also took advantage of all the instruments on stage, which included numerous acoustic and electric guitars, the piano used by opener Allen Toussaint, his “Hurricane” pipe organ and a tack piano.
And speaking of Allen Toussaint, the New Orleans music legend owned the crowd with a charismatic opening performance of songs like “Happy Times,” “Whipped Cream,” “Working In A Coal Mine,” “Yes We Can Can” and a version of “Southern Nights” that included a spoken poetic recounting of Allen’s memories as a kid leaving the city to visit relatives in the country whose houses were “built old” and were all a “shotgun apart.” Unfortunately the mesmerizing narrative was cut short when Allen ran out of time, but the crowd had already been given more than enoguh to justify a rousing standing ovation.
After Allen left the stage, brother Neil Young took over wearing his Panama-style hat and matching light-colored suit. The crowd roared with applause but as soon as Neil hit the first note of “Hey Hey My My (Out Of The Blue)” the crowd was instantly silent.
The rest of the evening was pure bliss.

Any word on who the opening act will be?? I have a feeling there will be some differences in this leg of the tour, maybe debuting some of the songs on the album that he didn't do in the first 2 legs.

Sorry. Big surprise: Allen Toussaint as opening act!
Interesting- Neil obviously believes in "You Never call" and "Leia", yet there not on the album. Personally I think "You Never Call" should be on Le Noise- its a good song- it musta been one of the songs Lanois felt didn't belong but its such a real song in that it expresses Neil's grief. "Leia"- I liked it perhaps because of its childlike simplicity and because I found it personally touching, having an eight month old daughter. Maybe they'll be on the app or archives vol. 6
YNC or Leia yet played in concert? Maybe slated for a future live release. Neil seems to believe in the same set list, though Someone's Gonna Rescue Me has a good melody too (anyway not as YNC).
Abdrea."So Tired"
Well, I think Neil has put this show together (as we debated earlier this year) with care. No reason to change his program, as it worked the way he wanted it.
As for the songlist on the album: I think that's a different thing to Neil. YNC and Leia maybe are too personal…
What time has Neil been taking the stage?
