I saw him at the Spectrum about 25 years ago...I think it was the "Harvest" tour...I had some photos somewhere...maybe I'll look and see...memory is a bit of a blur...

Back when I was invincible...ha!

Neil Young rocks, I was way into "Rust Never Sleeps" and "Live Rust" when I was in Highschool...

Enjoy!

I saw him in 1996 at the E center. My boyfriend at the time looked at me with surprise and said "you know I thought this would be a very mellow concert but he rocks" I think Iggy Pop opened for him.

i saw Neil at the Cellar Door on "M" St. in Georetown in about 1969. He was very good, though he did remind us all of a spider monkey with a guitar!
Saw CSN&Y at the Baltimore Civic Center in, I think 1971, and they did "Ohio" for the 1st time. It was right after the Kent State tragedy. It was a very emotional Neil Young telling the crowd that it was the 1st time doing the song, and that if we were going to have a revolution that it had to be peaceful or it wasn't worth having.

I've seen Neil thirty or forty times over the years; solo, w/Crazy Horse, CSN, and other assorted groups of musicians. Never a disappointing show. The man is a genius... I'm heading a rather busy project that culminates in December this year, elsewise I'd be headed to Philly for the show... Hey Hey, My My...

I will see him the end of October in Mt. View, CA. This is our 4th year. We visit our friends in Mt. View and check out this wonderful benefit concert. In the past, at this all acoustic event, we've seen CSN&Y, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vetter, Foo Fighters, Beach Boys, Jerry Lee Lewis, Trent Resner (SP?), Def Cab for Cutie, Metallica, and others (yes, I did say Trent from Nine Inch Nails and Metallica all acoustic - it was great!). It's an amazing event!

We're still waiting for this year's line up to be announced.

We love Neil Young here too. I have never seen him, but my hubby did in about 1993 and raved about how awesome he was. I should check to see if he is coming anywhere near our neck of the woods.

Have fun!
