The altitude at Red Rocksx has proven problematical for many older performers. If they wanted to play a destination location venue, The Gorge would be easier on their health and holds more people. I seriously doubt either of these scenarios will happen. If they want to play a large capacity football stadium in the PNW other than Seattle, and don’t want to hassle with the Canadian border as

I was at the 3/20/86 show at Hampton too, Stonestein. I got backstage that night, but was out in the middle of the floor in front of the soundboard when Bob Weir said “now we’re going to prove that practice makes perfect” and they launched into Box Of Rain, eliciting a collective orgasmic reaction from the crowd. It was the first set closer, though, not the encore that night. I saw them a bun

A few memorable ad hoc encores I witnessed: Neil Young & Crazy Horse, 10/21/09 at the Comcast Arena (aka Everett Events Center) in Everett, Washington. After a blistering set topped off by a cover of the Beatles “A Day In The Life” for the encore, the house lights had come up and about half the crowd had left, when they came back out to play “The Sultan”, an ultra-rare song from Neil’s

Another review including performance videos and the full setlist: Strange that no Nirvana material was performed, with Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear all present.

It would be a nice surprise if Neil Young reverses course and decides to show up. If the COVID pandemic is his main concern, President Biden has stated this week that the pandemic is over, and just yesterday reports surfaced that the Canadian government will lift its travel ban for the unvaccinated by the end of September. While Biden’s statement is being debated by health experts, it seems

Thanks for posting that. Enjoyed reading McGuinn’s perceptions of those albums and times. A magnificent run that has aged very well. I used to not care much for their final “reunion” album, but with repeated listening, it has grown on me. Wish they’d polished it a little more and crafted it into a commercial hit, and we would have gotten more of The Byrds.

Growing up outside Washington D.C., I first remember hearing this version by the original line-up of local favorites The Nighthawks: Mark Wenner-Vocals, Harmonica Jimmy Thackery-Guitar Jan Zukowski-Bass Pete Ragusa-Drums I’d agree that it was written for the scene it was used for in Performance.

Keith has had a strong tour and looks ready to keep rolling, but Mick has started to show a few chinks in the armor this tour. Perhaps it’s just the wear of fighting COVID while in your late 70’s, but he has looked noticeably older and more frail this tour. I’d be surprised to see another 2-3 month tour.

Lots of fun last night at Groupama Stadium. One of the hotter shows I’ve ever attended. I must’ve sweated out 5 pounds. Can only imagine how the band felt afterwards. I’m guessing a mix of satisfaction over a solidly played show, and that they made it through the sauna like conditions. Loved the song choices. Instead of a fan vote, they delivered both Dead Flowers and Angie. With inspire
