Question, for those who have the NYA, how do the shows work on there? I saw one of his solo Philly shows in 2018 and I believe it says both are on the NYA? I assume as a pro recorded thing? Is that only available for stream there? Can you download from the site or anywhere people think someone might have? I have a great bootleg from the night, but obviously pro audio would be great, and I'd gladly pay Neil for it, just don't in any way know how that works. Seems like a waste if a bunch of shows are JUST available there, although I could understand that keeps it exclusive. Seems so limiting to only be able to listen there though...

It’s a pain, you’ll have to make your own track cuts afterwards, but there is software you can get to capture the audio/video of a steam.
I haven’t subscribed since 2020 to the NYA so not sure and can’t check for you if there is an option for downloading. I’m guessing not given it’s a subscription service.

Saw Neil Young at the Rady Shell in San Diego last night. This venue, designed for the San Diego Symphony, opened just two years ago. This was my first concert there. It is a truly lovely venue with the harbor and sunset to the left and the city skyline to the right. I look forward to seeing more concerts there in the future. Really stunning venue.
As for Neil, it really is a solo tour. Only Neil on stage with two pianos, one pipe organ, various harmonicas, one or two electric guitars and at least a half dozen acoustic guitars. He is a marvelous musician and his singing voice is same as ever. He loved the acoustics on stage. He said “somebody was thinking about music” so whoever designed it should consider that very high praise.
Extremely deep cuts. He kept acknowledging that most people didn’t know most of those songs. He said we didn’t know them because he “hadn’t done much with them” but “there’s nothing wrong with them, they were just in the kennel with the other songs.”
The two best-known songs he did were Ohio and Heart of Gold. He also sang You’re like a Hurricane . . . on the pipe organ! Very interesting arrangement for that song.
I was pretty far back, so I couldn’t see if there was a railing next to the stage, but he seemed puzzled as to why the symphony would need to be separated from the audience that way. He said, “Let’s see what happens when The Rolling Stones come here . . . in 1968.”
Bottom line: if you’re a Neil Young fan, you will enjoy this concert. It was a little short, but it was well worth being there.

Hope to check out that venue in SD one of these days; we walked by it last month on the way to Petco for a Padres game while staying at one of the adjacent hotels. Looks interesting…

I wonder if after this run of solo dates he will head out with POTR like he did in 2019. Didn’t Micah mention something about “maybe going out Neil” a while back in some interview?
