Well, I don't mind, it was fuckin great. "Love and only love", "Hey Hey My My", "Powderfinger", Fuckin' Up", "Cortez...", "Oh Lonesome me", "Mother Earth", "Needle", "Heart of Gold", "Old Man", "Singing a song...", "Get back to the country" then – another new song, that "no one has ever heard, not even we...", aye sort of bluesy, riff song that reminded me of - T-bone! Ha ha. Ok, then "Words" (marvelous!), "Free World" and as an encore "A Day in the Life". Great show, Neil was in a talkative mood, lots of smiles. And The Flaming Lips played "After the Goldrush" on the other stage, just minutes before Neil was about to go on...

One of the best Neil-concerts I've seen! Peace, Magicmops

Great (again), Magicmops

The so far longest set list of the European summer tour, 19 tracks.
He seemed to enjoy the evening a lot. And what a band! WoW!

First time I've seen Neil Young in concert, and there was no complaining about this set. It was a ripper.

I almost cried a little when he played Mother Earth. And the new song (Sea Change?) was great with its "Early-70s-Keith-Richards-guitar"-riff. :-)

"Sea Change" is wonderful rocking song but it's hard to understand the lyrics... James Brown? It ain't funny?
Great guitar sound!!! Dreaming of a new album.

NY: "Yeah, we're still working on that one".

But is sounds damn good...

1. a striking change, as in appearance, often for the better.
2. any major transformation or alteration.

It's a really cool rocking tune! Hope it ends up on a new album soon:D

Im gonna see him in Oslo tomorrow for the forth time this year. But I'm thrilled as if it was the first time!

At 8/12/2008 03:04:00 PM, Robin said...: Yep, an awesome show indeed. This was the sixth time I have seen Neil live and he has always delivered. This show was right there at the top with the others. The sound was excellent and I didn't even need my ear plugs, unlike for most of the other acts at the festival. A highlight for me was Words which I had never heard live before and it was beautiful. Electric guitar art at its finest!
At 11/08/2008 02:15:00 PM, Anonymous said...: I have admired Mr Young's music for years but never been able to catch him live, for various reasons. Then 2 dates are announced in my native Scotland. Guess what? sold out within minutes. So I made the trek to Gothenburg to see him. Boy , was it worth it. I've seen many big names over the years and Neil is up there with the best of them. Really impressed with the way he attacked the guitar. The band's presentation was tight and although he played many of his well known songs they were still played in a personal and sincere manner. I'll be back for more!
