Is this the first time he's played live publicly since the pandemic?

If you scroll down the article it mentions Lucas Nelson and Promise of the Real will back Neil and Stephen (assume this will include Micah).

I heard they will back Neil on a summer tour.

I heard they will back Neil on a summer tour.

I heard that Crazy Horse might be backing Neil this summer with Micah replacing Nils Lofgren.

Excellent news, and then at the Hollywood Bowl the following week for the Willie 90 show which Neil is lasted as a performer.
Hope it all happens, and that Neil continues with live shows everywhere.

^ got tix to this. possibly an extra pair. Between this and tge Willie 90th we will get a good glimpse of Neil.

I bought a pair, and will try to fly out for it. The Rolling Stone interview hinted that Richie Furay might join Neil and Stills onstage.

...and a very cool way for him to come out of hibernation, totally unannounced, must have been one huge thrill for "the couple hundred" folks who were there.
Pays to be a tree-hugger sometimes - good for them.
Edit - he's looking healthy too.

hope he didn't see his shadow

i'd like to get my tomatoes in early





starts at 3:52

Yes!

~"Love is Strong"~

Neil is back!!
So cool.
What a treat for these folks.

Let us hope Uncle Neil was in this part of the world to check out something to do with a tour…

It would be cool if Neil did a guest spot on the new Stones album...
Along with the confirmed Paul McCartney guest spot, and also add Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and Roger Waters.
A Desert Trip reunion...all on the new Stones album. And maybe even do a live special benefit show for a variety of good causes such as the ones Neil dedicates so much of his time to.
Trees, farms, autism, etc., etc., etc. - it would be a historical event on many levels.

Roger Waters should be nowhere near a Rolling Stones album. He should be in Mother Russia with all his friends.

AGREE 100%

There should be no additional personnel on any new tracks/album

Word on the street is that Willie Nelson and Joe Walsh are amongst the special guests who will also be performing tonight....wish there was an official livestream as they do with FarmAid.
And then there's Willies 90th birthday shows next week at the Hollywood Bowl featuring Neil amongst many others.... ---> Willie 90

The girl next to me caught Willie's hat. I could have pushed her out of the way - like certain people do when Keith/Ronnie toss their picks - but decorum and slow reactions prevailed.
