Awesome news, thanks. I've been waiting for this, hopefully he keeps the set list similar to what he's been playing recently cause I really want to hear the electric Cowgirl in the Sand.

As one of the younger fans out there, I've never seen Neil live, so I'm hoping to see him at the Big Day Out with my friends, and his Melbourne show two days later with my Dad. Don't want to get too excited until I actually have tickets, but I know it will be great if i can go.

And if the news couldnt get any better, My Morning Jacket are the support. January seems like such a long way away. Hope Neil brings No Hidden Path back into the set list.

This new is what I was hoping for the 2003 Greendale show in Melbourne was very cool even had the helicopter fly over the venue at the appropriate time during Granpa's Interview.

Great news for the biggest fanatic Neil Young fan that I know, my wife. We saw him in Oakland, California in 1973. Coffs Harbour in 1989, and Brisbane in 2003. Looks like we will see him twice in one decade !!

I have been listening to Neil Young scince i was 9 yrs old. I am now 48. I turned my lil Brother on to Neil Young when we were in junior high. He has seen him over 30 times. His license plate says Neil Young. He is a true fan. He and I went to his Chicago, December 9th concert together and I teared for the first time at a concert. I never thought a day would would come where i would see Neil live. We are headed to the bridge festival this fall. I cant wait.
True Fans Love Ya Neil

i hope that he changes the setlist a lot from last years choices. they suck. i want 'after the gold rush' 'harvest' , 'walk on' mellow my mind' world on a string' 'only a dream' down by the river' and 'dont cry'. fuck 'a day in the life'!!!!

'barstool blues'. oh well. hes not a fucking jukebox. u know what to expect with neil - disappointment mixed with abandoned bliss. goin home smilin anyway, even if he doesnt play 'only love can break yr heart'.
