Timeline Concert of the Moment: Neil Young @ Glastonbury Festival Concert - 2009
From TW coverage in 2009, Review: Neil Young rocks Glastonbury - Glastonbury - QTheMusic.com:
"No review’s going to do this justice, so let’s just get this out the way. Neil Young was just phenomenal.
Michael Eavis has tried and failed four times previously to get Neil Young to play at his little party down on Worthy Farm dating right back to the days when local stores would put ‘No Hippies Allowed’ on their windows.
Why Old Farmer Eavis has been so determined to book him is apparent from the moment Neil Young hits the stage. There’s no farting about, his trusty scarred Gibson Les Paul, Old Black, comes straight out and he clangs straight into My My Hey Hey. Seldom has the lyric “better to burn out than fade away” been more pertinent than the day after the death of a King. But also because at this festival of legends there are some here who have faded beyond repair. What this set proved more than anything is that Neil Young isn’t among their number."

What's So Funny About

My name's Ed and it's my letter to NYA that has been shared alongside the new release of that fantastic recording of Glasto '09. It really was an incredible weekend - many might not know that CSN performed the following day and were also brilliant. Springsteen also played on the Saturday night - it was a great lineup that year.
I was astonished to see news websites making links between Neil's sharing of this recording and rumours circulating that he'll return to the festival in 2025 - some even mentioning my 'heartwarming letter' in their articles.
I should probably come clean and say that my marriage broke down shortly after sending the letter a couple of years back and we're not together anymore, so it's not quite the beautiful love story people might have thought. Also, my wife never did care for Neil's music!
