I've got a meeting in 4 minutes, so...

Neil Young and Crazy Horse at TD Garden in Boston last night. Everest opened for a short, decent set. Really enjoyed them at T5#5, missed 'em at Forecastle. Looks like a new drummer. Patti Smith was cool. I really was not familiar with her but enjoyed her set. I may look into her back catalog. Man, she likes to spit on stage!

Neil and CH were awesome, but tested my endurance. Long jams were classic, the guys were clearly having fun on stage, and some of the distortion was epic and beautiful. I hadn't seen NY & CH since 1991. After tonight, I'm equally torn between following them on tour or waiting another 21 years. It was really good, but requires patience. For anyone there who was not a long-time fan, it was probably a rough night. I don't have a setlist, but the length of songs means a short list. Cinnamon Girl, Needle and Damage Done, Ramada Inn, Farmer John encore... oops, late for my meeting!

Feeling a tiny bit vindicated by these remarks. I totally know what you mean, John.

Had to skim thread rather quickly, but completely agree with the Ramada Inn thumbs ups!

Will see him for the fourth time this tour on Friday @ the Patriot Center (both Red Rocks' shows and Voodoo, where we got Hurricane'd!).

I dunno; Neil Young & Crazy Horse are in a category of musicians
where I'd pay 12 bucks to watch them collectively (or individually, like a tag team) hold their breath(s)

what time have they been going on? I'll be at the garden tonight, but am gonna be in a big rush to get there before 8

Jpugdawg · Nov 27, 2012, 07:18 PM

9ish if it's like last night's bill Everlast then Patti then Neil
Enjoy!

Jpugdawg · Nov 27, 2012, 07:23 PM

Oops ! Everlast? Everclear? I mean Everest!

I may be biased because in my mind Neil Young can do no wrong, but last night at MSG Neil and Crazy Horse proved they are the greatest fucking hard rock group ever. The jams were long and loud, and full of fuzz and sludge. I hung on every note. The Psychedelic Pill songs worked great, Ramada Inn was a real highlight for me, but hearing them play songs like Cinnamon Girl and Mr. Soul, that are nearly twice as old as I am, really put things in perspective. Man i really fucking enjoyed being able to see that and only wish I was going to more shows this tour. I will say that I would have loved to have heard Farmer John in the encore instead of Roll Another Number, but what are you gonna do. Long Live The Horse!!

oistheone · Nov 28, 2012, 09:36 PM

The MSG show sounds awesome! Was "Roll Another Number" the only encore? Any "Cortez" sprinkled in? The setlist STILL hasn't been posted on SugarMountain, which is weird considering most shows have had the setlists updated the night of!

GO4IT · Nov 28, 2012, 10:25 PM

These reviews are getting me psyched for this Friday's show at the Patriot Center

Exact same setlist as Boston except for the encore. It was a great night. Neil said they'd be back in Boston. Not sure if that was just "insert name of city here" stage talk or what.

oistheone · Nov 29, 2012, 12:21 AM

Neil and the Horse churn out roughly the same set every night, yet make every show completely different. Gotta love it!

johnnYYac · Nov 29, 2012, 11:18 AM

Looks like Neil was the guest on The Daily Show last night.

bartel · Nov 30, 2012, 10:24 AM
