Nils Lofgren had an interview in Rolling Stone saying that his tour schedule with Springsteen is interfering with Young going on tour with Crazy Horse. Lofgren added that he may be replaced if Young goes on tour.

Can't say I'm too impressed with the new album.
Nothing says Crazy Horse like laid back whistle-y tunes and accordion.

Neil Young admits that he might slow down one day, but for now he’s doubling down on the idea of creating a sustainable tour.
Retirement “doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility,” Young, 77, tells the New Yorker. “That could happen. You get to a point in life where things are happening everywhere around you, and your friends are going away and not coming back. Things change.”
In the meantime, he's released two new albums, Barn and then World Record, during the past 12 months alone. He prefers producing them on vinyl, but has been frustrated by manufacturing delays.
“We finished recording [World Record] toward the end of May. That’s six months ago. That’s a long time for me to wait. I’ve never waited that long to put out a record,” he said. “Because the record companies in their ultimate wisdom, seeing what a great thing digital was, they sold all the places where they made records. Now people want records and they haven’t got a facility to make them in, so it takes months and months and months to get vinyl.”
He hasn't played a public concert since September 2019. Should Young return to the road, he says he still intends to avoid playing venues that offer factory-farmed food to attendees. “This is something that’s very important to me, if I’m ever going to go out again … and I’m not sure I want to,” he said. “I’m still feeling that out, but if I’m ever going to do it, I want to make sure that everything is clean.
“What was the last thing you remember eating at a show, and how good was it?” Young added. “Was it from a farm-made, homegrown village? I don’t think so. It was from a factory farm that’s killing us. I’ve been working on this idea of bringing the food and the drink and the merch into the realm where it’s all clean. I will make sure that the food comes from real farmers.”
In the end, he'd like to create an approach that other acts could adopt as their own. “Once it’s up and going, and I’m finished with my part of the tour, there’s no reason why the tour has to stop,” Young said. “The tour can keep on going with another headliner. It’s about sustainability and renewability in the future, loving Earth for what it is. We want to do the right thing. That’s kind of the idea.”
I saw him at the Tower Theater 2 back to back nights and it was literally exactly what you described and I couldn't stop telling people about it afterwards. You were in the presence of a legend just walking around the stage, picking up a guitar and playing classic after classic. The greatest thing was he played like 10 straight acoustic classics in a row, each better than the last. Then the lights went down, he picked up an electric guitar and just blasted out Ohio. I have NEVER heard a reaction like that from an audience and honestly, it had only been half an hour but the show could have ended there. It was the true definition of "epic" and I feel so incredibly honored to have been in the audience for those shows. Neil is an absolutely master and that was a master of his craft OWNING that stage like a legend.Quote

I saw him back to back nights in 2019, Neil, his guitars, his harmonica, his pianos, and organs. He was walking around between the keys and picking out different guitars according to whatever mood struck him. It’s a privilege to watch that.

Cheers for that news BeastyBurdeny.
Micah Nelson would be a perfect fit to fill the void of Nils Lofgren whose touring with the Boss, and also Poncho Sampedro whose basically been out of comission. Bring in the young gun, and get the cannons firing!
With the prospect that Neil might really perform live and in the flesh again at the upcoming Willie Nelson 90 shindig, things are looking brighter for good old Neil and his fans...I was beginning to have some doubts.

Hot damn! I called that one. Poncho is retired & doing well in Hawaii by all accounts. Micah is a perfect replacement. I saw him open for the Flaming Lips recently & he was outstanding. He came back out with the Lips & did a blistering solo on one song. Hope the tour happens & it comes near me.

Of all the times I saw Promise of the Real backing Neil, it was Micah and Neil who gelled the most...you could sense a mutual appreciation between the two much more so than Neil with Lukas Nelson.
Perhaps it was the experimental expertise that the younger Micah exhibited, and his willingness to go off the deep end...he's way more skilled and accomplished than Lukas imo

I discovered the Hayden Home Amphitheater in Bend OR last summer. I went to Nine Inch Nails there. It's a long drive from Seattle but worth it. Capacity 8000. It was the best summer shed venue I've ever been to. Great sight lines & sound, super well organized, easy parking. I was really impressed. It would be a good venue for the Horse.

I’d really like to catch him once more, last time was something special, but the Horse conjures a different Neil and that’s the Neil I’d love to see again.
