I'm so excited! I love Chrome Dreams II... Anyone see him recently? I'm curious what he's been playing!

    Have fun paying $150 to not recognize half the setlist. :D

    Aw, don't mind me, I'm just bitter that I can't afford to see him here in PA.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    I'll know most of the songs, and I bought 1 ticket off a person on craigslist for $45...

    didn't you hear?
    Neil cancelled the show.








    he's gonna help out a friend who designs jeans, playing a gig at his house in LA instead.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I'm sure most of the designers of Neil's jeans are dead, I don't think he owns a new item of clothing!

    His setlist tends to stay very similar so expect most of this:

    10-30-2007, Nokia Live, Los Angeles, California

    From Hank To Hendrix
    Ambulance Blues
    Sad Movies (unreleased)
    A Man Needs A Maid
    No One Seems To Know (unreleased)
    Harvest
    Campaigner
    After The Gold Rush
    Mellow My Mind
    Love Art Blues (unreleased)
    Love Is A Rose
    Old Man

    The Loner
    Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
    Dirty Old Man
    Spirit Road
    Bad Fog Of Loneliness (unreleased)
    Winterlong
    Oh, Lonesome Me
    The Believer
    No Hidden Path

    Cinnamon Girl
    Tonight's The Night

    The encore switches up sometimes he has played like a hurricane instead of cinnamon girl.

    you get to hear ambulance blues live... that is worth 150 dollars by itself.

    I saw him Friday in L.A., great show. Acoustic set was essentially as above, but he dropped Campaigner and Old Man, and added Love In Mind and Heart of Gold. Electric set was the same, but he threw in Cortez into the encore. The extended solos on No Hidden Path alone are worth the price of admission.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    should I get there early? Did Neil come out and play with Peggy? Was she decent?
  • merkinballmerkinball Posts: 2,262
    Pegi was OK (helps to have Rick Rosas and Ben Keith from Neils band in your backing band). She plays some bluesy stuff, but her voice doesn't have the depth for it. The only song I didn't like was Love Like Water, the rest was enjoyable enough, but forgettable.

    Might as well show up early, there is only a 20 minute intermission between Pegi's set and Neils solo set, they keep the evening moving. Neil didn't play during Pegi's set, but Larry Cragg (Neils guitar tech) did play sitar on one track.

    WOW! WHAT A SHOW!!!
    Acoustic SOLO set, then electric with the guys and solo...
    This was my 2nd best Neil Young show EVER, and I've seen him a lot!
    So many great songs played, I had goosebumps when he came out, put on the harp, and started playing "From Hank to Hendrix", changing the lyrics to show his love for Peggy!
    GREAT JOB NEIL!

    I think I would pay just for that song.
