App 22.06 : Neil Young entered the stage, and would stay there for more than 2 hours, immediately getting things straight with a blistering, mindblowing DBTR, which went on for more than 20 minutes, followed by a very powerful Powderfinger.
Half an hour gone, 2 songs. Grin on his face, teasing, playing with Poncho... Absolutely no doubt about it : Lokeren would remember Neil young long after he was gone.
Others will provide full setlist in chronological order. So, correct me if I'm wrong :
-Down by the River
-Powderfinger
-Days that used to be
-Love to burn
-Psychedelic Pill
-Blowing in the wind
-Heart of gold
-Psychedelic Pill
-Barstool Blues
-Cortez The Killer
-Rocking in the Free World
Encores :
-Be the Rain
-Who's gonna standup and save the earth
But : what a show. Breathtaking and exhausting. impossible stand still.
Think I got some nice pictures.

- Standing in the Light of Love between Powderfinger and DTUTB.
- Living With War between DTUTB and Love to Burn.
- Name of Love after LTB, not Pill
- Barstool Blues after HOG, then Pill
Dear Neil, I woke up in daydream to find you were still globing the planet, and what you do!, and what we get from you doing it is unparalleled. And thank you to the 'reporters' sending on in real time what's happening in the Neiliverse.
Wow, I don't even know where to begin. As the gates opened I somehow managed to find myself in the best spot on the grounds, riding the rail immediately to the left of the center divide - and would not move for the next 7 hours.
Neil and the boys launched into the show with a monstrous but soulful jam of DBTR that, like Anonymous mentioned, must have gone on for more than 20 minutes. Who does that? After the first song was done, Mrs. Malt (who is not a fan, I have to admit) turned to me and simply asked incredulously: "Has he always sounded this good?".
What then followed was a cavalcade of mostly classic songs that the Horse (squabble all you want about the band name) jammed through with glee and passion. They played well over the original two hour time slot (which unfortunately, due to the late timing, slight jet lag and physical exhaustion was a bit too much for Mrs. Malt in the end).
At one point (going into Psychedelic Pill?), Neil stopped the song short after a few chords, and glaring at the crew, sent them back to replace Poncho's guitar. "You got to tune the guitars *before* bringing them on stage. These people paid a lot of money. *I'm* singing it, so it's *already* out of tune" (may be paraphrasing here).
Is it me, or is Neil actually getting better year after year? With every swipe, slap and pick he conjures controlled growls roaring out of his guitar, and the interplay with Poncho last night was the best I've seen so far (admittedly this was only my fourth Crazy Horse gig). I don't know if I've ever seen Neil so happy and Poncho positively fucking *glowed* and held his own in the spotlight. Even Rick, calm and laid back, took part in the goofy camaraderie with a smile and the whole band gelled together naturally and effortlessly. From my viewpoint I unfortunately didn't see much of Ralph before the bows at the end.
A special thank you to the friendly crew of the Lokerse Feesten for a well organized festival.
Is Toast imminent now that we've heard "Goin' Home" and "Standing In The Light Of Love" on the current Crazy Horse tour. Thoughts?
SITLOL Has Some Lyric Changes On This Tour.I Do Like The '14 Version Better Than The '01 Version.But Their Both Rockin' Versions With CH.The Backup Girls Give It A New Twist With Ohh,Ohh,Ohh,Ohh,Ohh,Ohh.And The Crowd Gets Into It Also. Now Would Be A Perfect Time For Toast. Gateway Of Love Is A Good Jam. A Live Toast Would Probably Be Better. Just Like A Live Greendale Is So Much Better.Studio Greendale Is Flat Compared To The Live Greendale '03,'04 Concerts. Archives Guy Release Toast & A Live Greendale Show From 7/4/03 Saratoga Springs,NY. A Live CH Album From The Last 3 Yrs Tour Would Be Sweet Too. Ramada Inn & Surfer Joe Would Be My First Two Picks. Keep On Rockin'
