The owner of Aiken Promotions - peter Aiken, said this morning on Irish radio, that the Kilkenny gig is only one of two gigs they will play together.(+Hyde Park).
I could be incorrect in reading into this, that Neil is doing a total of two gigs in Europe,
but surely this cannot be right.
I had hoped that Neil would be doing some POTR gigs around Europe, I looked at Dylan's tour schedule and he has other gigs lined up, including festivals.
C'omon Neil, we need more gigs !
Neil has confirmed a European tour next summer (though no other details yet), these are just the only shows where he's on the same bill as Dylan (assuming that promoter knows what he's talking about).
Just noticed this in J. Hanlon's notebook. Presumably it's the infamous Time Fades Away II album. Sugar Mountain doesn't even have a complete setlist for the Tuscaloosa show.
"Next up is Tuscaloosa, (under the radar monster) a previously and only partially mined album project from early in the 1973 Time Fades Away tour of the US by Neil & The Stray Gators. . . . .It’s a “good un” as John Lee Hooker would say. “Pots on, gas on high” as he also wrote in one of his songs. ‘Tuscaloosa’ was a particularly potent lineup of great musicians at the zenith of their brotherhood. Ben Keith, Jack Nitzche, Tim Drummond, Kenny Buttrey and Neil.
More to report here soon, as we undertake mixing from the original master 2” analog 16 track tapes and review in Colorado during the next several weeks."
Two standing tickets secured and listening to this recording of Young and Dylan in 1975 doing "Helpless" and "Knocking on Heaven's Door" together:

I would like to point out that I really enjoyed the concert by Neil Young and Bob Dylan, I really thought the organization left a lot to be desired. For the number of people that were there, there were only two toilets in Nowlan Park and as a result, there were constant Qs at each one for the duration of the concert. There should have brought in portaloos.
When the concert was over at about 10pm thousands of very hungry people streamed out onto the street to find that every place was closed. The pubs had extended hours for the concert but not one of them was serving food. Not even Hotels. The few fast foods take away's had Qs of 100 people at each one of them and as a result, they ran out of food. For that reason I would never go to a big concert in Kilkenny again they are not able to deal with it. The whole Town should have got involved in it and pulled together. the concert-goers were definitely let down. I would like to see Kilkenny holding a flea coel. They would could take a leaf out of some of the smaller towns Book like Cavan or Drogheda. Bob stick with the acoustic guitar piano doesn't suit you.
