Tonight on Thrasher's Wheat Radio on WBKM.org we'll have an exclusive interview with Arkansas Girls who will share their remarkable roadtrip tale of attending multiple Neil Young and Crazy Horse concert's last Fall. (See the story of the Arkansas Girls who love Crazy Horse.)
There are four distinct chapters of the adventure beginning in Red Rocks in August, onto Tulsa, OK in October , then Seattle, WA in November and concluding in Fairfax, VA's Patriot Center.
And it was the final stop in Fairfax where all the magic of the Arkansas Girls came together perfectly that night -- right before an audience of 10,000.
In a very, very rare moment, Neil Young stopped the concert to directly acknowledge the Arkansas Girls and to say "We love you, too." You can see this in the first two minutes below during the "Analog Time Machine" dialog and just before launching into "Cinnamon Girl".
After listening to hundreds and hundreds of Neil Young concert recordings over the years, we know that what happened that night was startling and special. We tried to recall when Neil ever spoke directly to specific audience members with anything comparable -- no other examples come to mind. Neil has called out specific audience members for rude behavior or acknowledged a shouted request. But he has never told anyone that Crazy Horse loves them too.
So tune in next weekend, Saturday February 2 at 9P EST on Thrasher's Wheat Radio on WBKM.org for our exclusive interview with the Arkansas Cowgirls. Many, many thanks Tami & Sandy. Long may you both run.

I'm listening right now and watching Bruins vs Maple Leafs playing up in TO...pretty cool coincidence! B's are up 1-0 with ten minutes to go. Wonder how many Sharks games Neil and Ben have been to so far in this two week season? And here's Thrasher!
Go 49ers!
Thanks Thrasher, for our little moment in the sun!!

AHHHH. I missed it @$#@#$@!! Actually was out playing. Gonna get on the podcast for this ladies, looking forward to the stories straight from the Horses fans mouths.
As to Neil speaking directly to someone in the audience: At the beginning of the Greendale tour show in Camden, NJ, we had front row right seats, thanks to a radio promo, but that's another story...
Neil started into the intro to Falling From Above. Since I'd recently played at home the Live at Vicar St. Dublin acoustic version of Greendale, where Neil went into detail describing the characters, location, and all the background info, I couldn't help myself and I shouted out "Neil, Tell the story!"
Unbelieveably, while still playing the groove on electric,and smiling, Neil called back "I've got to do a show" but I thought he appreciated someone wanting to hear the whole narrative. Remember, those early Grendale shows had mixed reviews from fans who were hoping/expecting a show of hits (nothing new here!).
