Ordinary People was incredible. Didn't know if we were just going to get some version of the Chrome Hearts previous east coast performances, but this was pure passion and indignation. Brought back the "take America back!" chant from the Sanders rally, the protest song dropped in hits like "if you're a fascist, go buy a Tesla." and (paraphrasing) mentioning that it's a tough pill for Americans to swallow that China is ahead of us as far as moving toward electric vehicles (I think that was the gist, though I am at peace being corrected by any other attendees). Terrific surprise to hear Big Box - a song I would have assumed unlikely to get dug out again any time soon. But, hot damn... Ordinary People with its loping, chanting, repetitive AND expansive nature felt so fresh and alive. Didn't matter if some of the cultural references might be a bit dated to an audience largely unfamiliar with this ripper, it still felt as prescient as the rest of his set (Human Highway even got a "dedication" to Kennedy. "The new one. Not the old one." - Neil).
If this is any indication of how the world tour will shape up, it feels like a Living with War type event with NY and band laying his truth and his thoughts and feelings on American politics in 2025 out there with unapologetically and letting the audience do with that as they please.
One thing about the show. Lots of technical issues plagued most sets throughout the evening so, while I'm not sure, I wonder if NY had to cut anything from his set to abide by the local noise curfew. At the very least, Stills told Neil, before playing Rockin' in the Free World to do the "short version" - which still packed a great punch with the Chrome Hearts behind him.
