"10 Days with The Loner": Neil Young in Amsterdam - 1974
A recent comment by Art Symbol sent us over to a link by Dutch journalist Constant Meijers from Neil Young's time in Amsterdam following the final CSNY 1974 tour show at Wembley Stadium in London.

Constant Meijers had intimate access to Neil's entourage as Neil tried to figure out his next move following the massive success of the CSNY 1974 stadium tour. Meijers is the author of the concert review of Neil Young's Tonight's
the Night tour in London, 1973, that was part of the album's liner notes.
During the compiling of the Decade album, Neil
Young did not forget his brief stay in Amsterdam in September 1974. One
of the innersleeve photos, showing Neil and his guitar on a bed, was
taken in a hotel room at the Amsterdam Memphis Hotel by official
CSN&Y photographer Joel Bernstein. (see top photo)
This is an account of Neil’s stay in Amsterdam, told by Constant Meijers,
which was published in Muziekkrant Oor, giving an exclusive, albeit
shortened, version of his account of Neil Young’s stay. It was
originally intended to be published as a chapter of The Loner - A
Biography Of Neil Young.
This article has been painstakingly translated into English by Peter Didderiens. The pictures were taken by Gijsbert Hanekroot.
Here is the story of "10 days with The Loner" by Constant Meijers.
