They started off electric, then went to acoustic and then back to electric again. Very intimate atmosphere at Wiesen, a good crowd of all ages, very good organization.
I enjoyed it very much and will keep on rocking in the free world!

i'm hoping to see him many more times in the future. thanks for this great experience!!

keep up the great work on this site.

and long may he run

all in all one of the greatest concerts i've ever been.

The best Neil show I've ever seen, Cowgirl in the Sand first time live for me, a dream that came true!
Lot of fun on stage, Neil's often smiling and laughing, expecially in Ben Keith introduction, and great audience in a very nice place.
At the end, Larry Cragg said: "For these dates, Neil decided for no written setlist on stage, nobody knows the next song. So my work become more difficult. And the few days ago Neil started with a song I was thinking I never heard before (I supposed Wrecking Ball)".
