So what is it like to be on the quest for the holy rail?

As we know, it's not easy to be a Neil Young & Crazy Horse fan. No one ever said that it should be.

For those who have been following closely the Europe 2013 concert tour, you have come across the adventures of one particular rustie fan known as Uwe from Germany. Even by the early dates, Uwe went from an "unknown legend" to walking like a giant Horse fan.

Here's just one chapter in the amazing adventures of a Neil Young fan: Crazy Horse – and Uwe too | barneyspender:
When we arrived at the Roman arena shortly after 1pm, there was just one other person there, waiting for the gates to open in five hours time.

“I am always number one,” announced Uwe proudly.

Ah Uwe. Where to begin? The kids and I had met him for the first time a couple of nights previously when he and Mrs S went to see Neil Young in Vienne in another Roman theatre.

  1. Uwe is simply a great guy! In Oslo I have failed the rail (cause late flight) . I had planned new attempts for Bergen and Copenhagen. To no avail, as you know...

    So Tired.
