Talkin' Bout Neil Young.....

[Tired Eyes]

Anyone here hitting up the Cap show for sure???

I am if I can get a ticket on Friday.  I'm hoping to get a GA standing ticket.  This venue is one of my favorites in the country and is less than an hour's drive from me.  If I get a GA standing ticket, I will absolutely be on the rail for this show.

Welp, there's an impulse purchase for ya...

IN for Neil at the Cap! Woo!

However, just thinkin' here... Neil is playing at the Cap on the 2nd, and in Ottawa on the 4th. That leaked Ticketmaster date was for September 3rd in Detroit, and Neil has not played three nights in a row in a long time. Never on this current Crazy Horse tour. Maybe the Fox date fell through? I'm sure we'll find out soon, but something to think about...

don't say that! :(

I feel for you, Robb.  Maybe he will fit the Detroit show in on another date.  Seems hard to think he would scrap a city he was planning on coming to.  He also has a history with the Fox Th., and was probably pretty psyched to play there again.

If tickets for the Cap go onsale Friday, I'm very surprised we don't know the whole tour schedule yet. 

[oistheone]

I'm very sorry to even speculate so negatively robb! You never know!

I still expect a small tour, and I imagine they are releasing these dates one at a time for legal reasons. First Interlocken, probably because they are paying the most cash and want an exclusivity window. Then the two shows in Ontario, which were announced about a week apart. Then this Cap show, the first theatre show of the tour, and one perhaps the Cap wanted an exclusivity window on to drum up hype -- it worked on me, I'm thinking this show is a big deal when it could just be another theatre show in a run full of them!

When it comes down to it though, this is Neil we're talking about. No one really knows what is going on with this tour itinerary -- nor will we, at least until he steps on the stage.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but according to this interview, it looks like the Horse will be put out to pasture after the dates that are currently scheduled. I really hope they keep "Sedan Delivery" and "Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleaze" in the setlists for their only North American dates.

Who knows where Neil goes after this, but it looks like these select North American dates in the fall are not to be missed...

Where does it say that these are the last ever shows that Neil will do with CH?  It says that Billy doesn't know.  Which is what members of CH (and all of Neil's other bands) always say.  I don't think they're playing it close to the vest btw...I think Neil doesn't promise his bands anything as far as the next album/tour. 

[oistheone]

I didn't say that the article said these were the last EVER shows with Neil & the Horse! Billy simply says that he believes the tour will be done after those dates in September. He "hopes" there will be a next time after that but he says "I don't know... I really don't know." When September comes, they will have been riding this tour for over a year, which is an eternity in Neil's world. Like you said, NO ONE knows when it comes to Neil, but it doesn't exactly sound promising.

I feel like the best approach to seeing Neil shows is to take every opportunity you can while it's being offered, because you never know when it'll all end.

I agree completely with this statement.
I just tried to think of when Neil has toured 3 consecutive years with Crazy Horse and I couldn't think of any time in his career when that has happened.  So I wouldn't expect any Neil & CH shows in 2014.  Though it is Neil and he could surprise us!

[Tired Eyes]

The Bridge School Benefit will be held on October 26-27.
For the first time since 1998, I will miss the BSB this year.

The rest of the European tour has been canceled.  More details at the link below.

[oistheone]

Huge bummer about the canceled dates. Selfishly, I really hope Poncho's hand heals in time for the fall dates. But I have my doubts...

I'm hoping this time off doesn't cause Neil's mind to wander and ditch the Horse altogether. Everybody knows Neil doesn't like to sit around...

[walterfredo]

I'm hearing they've cancelled interlocken fest, imagine the whole tour will be cancelled too.

Bad news, Neil Young fans: Crazy Horse pianist Poncho Sampredo has injured his hand and will need extra time to heal up, forcing the cancellation of some of their upcoming tour dates, including September 2 show at Port Chester's Capitol Theatre. The full list of canceled shows:
8/31 Dundas, ON - Greenbelt Harvest Picnic
9/02 Port Chester, NY - Capitol Theatre
9/04 Ottawa, ON - Ottawa Folk Festival
9/07 Arrington, VA - Interlocken Music Festival
For now, Farm Aid at Saratoga Springs on September 21 is still on. Official word from the band: "We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes to our fans or the Festivals where we were scheduled to appear. As you must be, we too are disappointed at this unfortunate turn of events."
We wish Poncho a speedy recovery.

This stings even more because I was expecting them to play these even though they canceled the European dates.

Figures I convince myself to spend the money on floor seats and this happens. Hope he heals up well......so disappointed this was cancelled.

[Tired Eyes]

This sucks.  I wish Neil had gotten Nils Lofgren or Ian McNabb to substitute for Poncho for these shows. 
Farm Aid should have Neil whether or not CH is ready.  He has played FA solo many times.

[oistheone]

Well, this sucks. What a bummer.

[bigloop]

Wouldn't have pulled the trigger on Interlocken without the Horse.  Huge disappointment.

Looks like Neil is doing a four-night run at Carnegie Hall in early January. No word about what kind of evening it will be, but I assume it's just Neil solo. (In my dreams, Neil hired the Jacket as his backing band after the massive success of the Bridge collaborations, and I'm front row at every show.)

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry tempted to hit this up.
