Booker T tour was the only time I ever saw Neil live and it was amazing. It was in Santa Cruz during finals and a friend of mine barged into my room announcing that there was a surprise show that night and if we went down to the venue right away we could get tickets and as it happened everything worked out and we got in and it was dope. Never thought I would see him do "I Believe in You" much less with Booker T and the MGs.

yeah i probably saw the show right before or after the one you saw -- seriously mindsplitting. it may have just been because it was the first time i saw him, but i think it was a better performance than the crazy horse gigs i've seen.

From the Telegraph review: "Neil Young is still a master musician, but there was enough guitar soloing at this gig to fill out a Van Halen album"
What's the age range of people who need the concept of long Neil Young solos explained by way of Van Halen?

haha yeah i thought that was weird
also because, i mean, outside of some stuff like eruption...eddie usually solos within the normal confines of a pop song, like i dunno 16 bars or something, not like van halen is this really bloated prog band

if i had to pick two "mainstream" rock guitarists who were pretty much the opposite of one another it'd be neil and eddie van halen.

was the telegraph reviewer a certain infamous telegraph music critic? ahem.
i mean hey if long guitar solos are not your thing, OK. but complaining about them at a neil young concert (much less a neil young & crazy horse concert) is clueless. the guy plays long guitar solos.
