Rockin' in the Free World

Anne-Laure and I went to see Neil Young the other night. We arrived early, so we were able to be really close to the stage (there was only a handful of people in front of us). Neil was in a mood to jam, so the show was LOUD. Unfortunately, he didn't play as many acoustic numbers (which is what we wanted to hear).

There were a couple of Spinal Tapesque moments though: First, Neil fell on stage and knocked over a speaker after his guitar chord got caught, but he kept on playing. Then at the end of the show, his guitar strings broke and he began waving it around creating a rather cool humming sound.

Here's the set list:

Mr. Soul / I've Been Waiting For You / Spirit Road / Love And Only Love / Hey Hey, My My / Too Far Gone / Oh, Lonesome Me / Mother Earth / The Needle And The Damage Done / Unknown Legend / Old Man / Words / Get Back To The Country / No Hidden Path // A Day In The Life.

This one goes to 11...
