Neil has barely lost a step. No setlist. Kept Promise of the Real on their toes all night. Great backup. Neil doesn’t have to do everything with Promise. They can harmonize great. Sing lead on a couple. Both Micah and Lucas also play lead on a couple. Let’s Neil pace himself. They played lots of old stuff including New Mama off Tonight’s The Night for the first time since 1977. He did My Heart off Sleeps with Angels for the first time since 1995 with Neil on piano and Lucas and the boys harmonizing around one mic. Just a great show all around with people from all over the country there. They sold all the tickets through the Neil Young archive so it was mainly true believers there.

Neil playing solo perhaps finer and more delicate than when I last saw him perform a solo acoustic show in 1994. Amazing tone from his guitars!

What a show. Well worth it and greatly exceeded my expectations. We were grinning the whole show. It was off the hook. Highlights for me were Alabama, Powderfinger, Everybody Knows This Is Knowhere and Winterlong. So damn good
