What a great set list. It really seems like they’re starting to spread out. The sets are evolving as they go, and things are progressing at a nice pace. This bodes well for future shows. Not that they haven’t already been nailing it from the get go. Every video I’ve seen so far on YouTube has been outstanding. Warts and all, these guys are simply in a class all by themselves. This isn’t a legacy tour, this is a master class in authenticity and talent. They’re fearless in their abilities, and completely comfortable exploring every possibility. What a remarkable tour so far.

Hello, Thrasher! Great to meet you before the show! My son and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We met so many great fans and the music was purely spectacular! Hoping to cross paths once more in the near future. Loved that Thrasher's Wheat t-shirt!

Crazy Horse sounds awesome right now! Neil's voice sounding even better at this point. Love it. Enjoy the music everyone. Hope another album coming.
ReplyDeleteNow I can see why people have taken to the road to see multiple Neil Young & Crazy Horse shows. Right now the shows are getting longer and there is more variety. My wife and I drove up for about five hours to Bristow and arrived just as the heavy rain moved in. So we arrived a little too late for the soundcheck, tailgate experience and the rust fest the day before. Was looking forward to seeing everyone but it wasn’t to be.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, not a big fan of the digital ticket. I don't generally carry a phone with me, to be honest, and to have to get in and out of your seat is a pain for me showing your digital wallet each time. You had to pay an extra $6 for a printed ticket.
We got in about 6:45 PM as the rainbow formed so we checked out the polar bear at the Love Earth village first. Around 7:00 or so I took two books for Neil to the backstage area in a clear plastic bag. The guard said he couldn't be responsible for getting them backstage and he called an assistant on the bus. She came out to get the books that were my first one that I autographed, "Faces of Pilot Mountain," and Mr. Rufus Edmisten's autographed book, "That's Rufus: A Memoir of Tar Heel Politics, Watergate and Public Life." When I told Neil the themes of my book as I was writing it his response in the Letters to the Editor was, WOW. That was really encouraging and now the Ancient American 8K video crew have filmed a documentary on the book which was one of the biggest gifts of my life. By the way, Mr. Rufus Edmisten is the lawyer who served President Nixon for the Watergate tapes in the White House.
Then Rev. Billy started his part of the show and I really enjoyed it. His get out in nature to your sacred spot really hit home with me. Love Earth, indeed!
There was an emotional weight to the show that was amazing. Our seats were right in line with the seated sound crew so the sound was spot on and perfect in Row Q. About the time he played "Powderfinger" they somehow dialed the sound in even more that was like shifting it into 5th gear or something. There was signage that we were being filmed by Daryl Hannah's film company.
My wife had gone with me to the second Rust Never Sleeps show outside Detroit in 1978 and she remembered the stage set-up but missed the Jawa's since they were only white coated scientists in Bristow. She sang right along on the acoustic set with just about everyone else. It was like standing in a choir instead of just listening to a choir. "Helpless" was a really good choice as a sliver of a moon came up on the right side of the stage but given the G5 solar event happening right during the concert it seems like Pocahontas would have been a great choice, too, that Thrasher wanted.
Clealy, the vivid bright rainbow was a sign that this was going to be a night to remember and it was...
