    Neil Young is a selfish prick and I wouldn't recommend seeing him at those prices unless you're a überfan. Nobody wants to hear some shitty fucking b-side or rarity over Down By The River or Old Man. I had the extreme displeasure of hearing Young play his whole Greendale album and I'll never pay to see the old bastard again. Him and Dylan should really both call it quits at this point instead of cheating poor suckers out of their money.
    I really hope you're not one of those people who bitches when PJ does a "hits" show .... bitching about how you've never gotten to hear No Way or Alone or Black Red Yellow or whatever, but had to suffer through Evenflow yet again. This is exactly how the more casual PJ fans feel about our favorite rarity-filled shows. Can you just imagine this board if PJ played a show with that many rarities? We'd all be having orgasms.

    I'm sure Neil's hard-core fans were thrilled with the setlist, and like casual fans who go to PJ shows, people who go to see Neil should be aware that it's not likely to be a "greatest hits" performance, there's gonna be some stuff in there that you don't know.

    If anyone has, Neil has certainly earned the right to play whatever the hell he wants night after night. I'd be seeing him if I were able.

    He is playing Ambulance Blues....

    i mean does it even matter what he plays after that?

    he is playing an hour acoustic set and an hour electric set that is pretty damn cool

    Neil's prices did seem a bit high this time around. Not too happy about that.


    As for the greendale tour i loved it. The songs were fresh and new for everone. I thought it was a special experience.

    My wife and I are going to see Neil at the tower Theater in Philly in December and can't wait. Great venue 2000 poeple max. Even if he plays something we don't know Neil is on a short list of preformers we want to see. I feel you can't know every song a person sings but if you know 70% and they put on a hell of a show you always get your moneys worth. Tickets were A little over 300$ and lord knows my wife and I can blow that on dinner and drinks or even a poster Etc. Later yostarama


    see you there!

    If I wrote a review I would just bitch- but my husband had a good time and I thought Neils voice sounded great.
    I missed the entirety of Peggy's set because I was standing in line at the one counter that was selling tshirts/posters & it was very disorganized.
    I wouldn't go back to that venue for a show. Mariners fan club day yes, concerts no.
