Isn't Neil Young just fantastic?
Forty one years he has been making albums now and he is always on the money.
Touring the UK in 2008.
Catch him if you can.
A true living legend.

I saw him in New York last week - it was an amazing show. And I particularly enjoyed the acoustic set - something that I've not taken too much notice of before.

Definitely go and see him if you can.

The great thing about him is that he has always been consistently good throughout his career.
He did try a synthesizer sound briefly in the 80's but he had the good sense to see that was not the future and returned to great songwriting with those magnificent guitar riffs.
Diamond geezer.

Neil Young is immense, I've seen him twice and both times he and Crazy Horse were fantastic! No chance of getting to see him this tour unfortunately. Loved the BBC gig from 1971, especially the twin cups!

I've just rediscovered him recently through listening to 'Planet Rock'..........the last time I was aware of him would have been 'After The Goldrush' in about 1970........then he disappeared under my radar.........


'Down By The River'........what a track that is !!..........

And, to top it all, he scored the winning goal for Man City in the 1969 FA Cup final. What a guy!

My favorite track of his is 'Old Man' (wonder if he still sings that ). I came across the song again a couple of years ago and just love it.

Well I went to see him on Monday night in Edinburgh.
The man is a master of the guitar and a truly wonderful songwriter.
He is now in his sixties and still rocking as well as ever.
A true living legend.
