    Hope all are ok and healthy.

    Dumped my May tickets thinking I had both July  and Ohana tickets. Hind sight being what it is wish I would’ve kept the May tickets.

    Neil and The Horse was my 50th bday present from my folks; was going with my dad. Was also the kickoff to my summer concert extravaganza. 

    Super bummed about this. This is the second time he’s cancelled Winnipeg. First was 2005 (aneurysm-obviously not his fault) when he promised to make it up to us (he didn’t).

    doesn't bode well for Ohana sadly... but hopefully?

    Bourbon & Beyond is the weekend before. I had tickets for Chicago and Winnipeg shows as well as B&B and Ohana. I just realized Springsteen is open from 9/15 to 10/31... 


    That would be nuts if Bruce played Ohana.  But he probably needs a break too..

    I was thinking the same thing just yesterday. It has been eerily quiet. I was so excited to see Neil and the Horse one more time come hell or high water.

    Somewhat used to it since Neil cancellig in 2013 and Pearl jam cancelled on me in 2022 in Prague…

    … But I was flying over from Sweden for two Neil shows :/

    Now I guess I’m gonna eat the costs, save a lot more and skip the trip. 

    Cancelling 3 months ahead for health reasons doesn’t sound super. Howfully everyone in Neils camp get’s better!

    In this day and age it’s probably better to not travel great distances to see shows!

    This is worrying news. Hope all the guys are back healthy before too long. it's easy to forget that both Billy and Ralph are over 80, and Neil is going on 79.

    In 2005 in Wpg he had to cancel his appearance at the Junos, then he came back in 2006 with CSNY, played here with a rock band (not Crazy Horse) in 2008, then did a pair of acoustic shows in 2010.  Then he was here with Crazy Horse in 2012, solo in 2014 and two shows with Crazy Horse in 2019.  I’d say that’s lots in the past 20 years and since the Junk cancellation which would have likely been 1-2 songs.

    Yeah, he’s been here lots. When he said “I’ll make it up to you” about the Junos, to me that doesn’t mean buying another ticket to see him. 

    I went to the CSNY show, which kinda sucked since the entire show centered around US politics. Haven’t made a show of his since. His acoustic shows were so incredibly overpriced he kinda pissed me off. 😂

    This sucks. So sorry for all those who had tickets. 😔 

    I have definitely been rethinking my travel to shows approach. For this PJ tour, I only got tickets for Philly, which I will be driving to. It’s about the limit for me for a drive, but that way I can get a 24 hour cancellation hotel and hopefully keep my money in to a minimum (i.e. not eating charges on a flight).

    I had this issue with PJ Vegas ‘22, and I went ahead with the trip because I would have lost the money. Thankfully I was able to work in lots of cool stuff to see and make it worthwhile, but still a bummer.

    Positive thoughts for Neil and company, hoping they are okay.

    Folks, keep in mind that it takes longer to recover from things when you get old.  A cold, a virus, hell, even a bug bite or a cut on the finger takes a lot longer to get over.  Taking time to heal is majorly important move and I'm really glad the Horse is taking time to heal

    Long live The Horse!

    Yeah. Feeling a bit panic-attackigy... have "no" interest in the american westcoast (outside of seeing Neil Young and/or Neil Young + PJ) so now I'm dropping more money then I ever have on a trip there by my self without any Neil.

    At the same time - there's always Quentin Tarantino's cinema and the Elm Street house :) If I decide to go. Might eat the flightcost and the Ohana-ticket and stay home. Have some time thinking about it :)

    If you have everything booked, then go. Pearl Jam x 2, Crowded House, Cat Power, Breeders, etc. right on the ocean. Go early, throw a blanket down and enjoy. It is a great time.

    Would have loved Pearl Jam x2 + Alanis Morrisette. But don't have a ticket to Sunday because I was going to see Neil Young in LA that night :) Maybe now I can look for one though ofc. We'll see :)

    Just got an email that the refund will come through…on the date of the cancelled show. Feels a bit like a slap in the face but it is what it is, lol.

    For Ohana, or a Neil specific show?
