Is there a worse moment during a Neil Young concert?

there are GOOD moments during Neil Young concerts?

Unfortunately, I've only seen him once, but yes, there are good moments. Of course, I got pretty high near the beginning of the show. (It was actually a mistake since I spent a lot of time imagining that Neil Young was actually this very subversive force within the music industry, and overinterpreting the lyrics and everything else.) The cheering: very annoying.

any applause line about smokin/drinkin = dud

i think what rock needs is more creative/unobvious applause lines. although that begs the question of how to motivate people to cheer at those lines. but c'mon, let's think about this!

A hard-core Neil Young fan I know at work made me some copies of bootlegs. Some of this stuff would sound great if it weren't for the constant annoying audience feedback.

I want to jump onstage during one of those "good" Neil Young "moments", pin down the son of a bitch, and fart down his mouth in front of all those adoring Viagra users.

at a Liars show this summer somebody cheered at a line about "shooting cops on sight" and got scowled at by the lead singer

Also, any applause line about fucking = dud.

I think the king of this shit has got to be Jimmy Buffett, I got to see him for free one time in college and boy did those doobed-out oldsters go crazy when he sang 'why don't we get drunk and screw'. They shot T-shirts at the crowd out of a giant blunt and I caught one. Gave it away to some honors double major who actually planned to wear it unironically.

I tend to think the "getting high" lyric is actually even worse than people cheering at it.

"there's gotta be some people here who like to drink TEQUILA!!!!!"

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Can we set up a Paypal account to help realize Maria's dream?
