People talk smack about "one string solos" but the simple fact is Neil Young can bring forth more emotion and feeling on one string than most players can with a full band.

Saw this show at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. I was 15 (older sister took me). Learned what a "contact high" was for sure. "Cortez the Killer" runs 8 plus minutes with no vocals for the first two: Fans had patience; Neil and crew mesmerized us (and not just because we were stoned). We screamed for Harvest and After the Gold Rush, but Neil blew everyone away with cuts from his new album, Rust Never Sleeps. Little did we know how this artist would continue to evolve for decades to come (excuse the pun)!!!

Played this (actually the long live version 18 min) to my nephew when he was about 8 years when we were at our summer cottage at fall and he listened the song so calmly, hardly said anything. I was so pleased not to hear any complaint about the lenght of the song or anything:) And I still am.

> Learned what a "contact high" was for sure. Same! 2012, Neil Young & Crazy Horse in Golden Gate Park. I'd only arrived in the states the day before, after a 13 hour flight from Australia. I stood in the crowd, seeing various other bands (incl. Beck, Foo Fighters), and inching closer to the stage for a good 6-7 hours. Everywhere I looked, there was at least one person enjoying some left handed lettuce - here in Australia, the sniffer dogs would be on you before you've even left the train station. I was about 3-4 rows from the front when they finally came on after the sun had gone down, and it was everything I dreamed it would be. They played all the good shit, plus a few numbers from Psychedelic Pill. By the time I got back to my hostel that night, I'd made sloppy oral love to a burrito thicker than my arm, and was feeling suspiciously good - if not floaty as hell. Good times.

Neil does a little Rasta riff at the end, that was huge at the time. Yeah I'm an oldie. Saw this in Boston in a packed Back Bay movie theater. Huge historical errors Neil makes in his Good vs Evil formulations, but who cares. That's when "Rock and Roll" had just become ROCK. Having such good times I can't remember what else happened that year.
