Review from NewsObserver.com by David Menconi:
You just never know what you're going to get when Neil Young comes to town, because he has multiple guises to choose from. There's the folksy acoustic troubadour at one end, the noble-savage electric-guitar savant at the other, and numerous shades in between.
...
Between the apocalyptic tone of the minor-key guitar riff, Young's atmospheric harmonica and his haunting-as-ever cracked whine, "My My, Hey Hey" was particularly effective. But just as everyone was settling in, possibly hoping against hope for a greatest-hits set of nothing but the old classics, Young changed gears.
For the rest of the set, Young alternated between acoustic and electric guitar, two different flavors of piano (upright and baby grand) and even pump organ. Between songs, Young would wander about the stage, as if trying to decide which one he wanted to play next.
