Neil Young Madison Square Garden Thursday, February 24, 1983

Night two of the Solo/Trans tour for me took us from Nassau Coliseum to Madison Square Garden to see Neil Young perform a wide mix of old and new songs. I always find it funny when some people, who clearly don’t get it, complain that Mr. Young did not perform this song or another and are somehow disappointed in a particular performance. A perfect example of this was the Neil Young & Crazy Horse tour supporting “Psychedelic Pill”. Some in the Madison Square Garden audience did not appreciate the beautiful distortion the band was making when married couples in the audience mistakenly showed up on date night to hear their favorite tracks off of “Harvest Moon”. I love it all; the beauty of the Promise of the Real tours are that POTR can play it all and it can be a brand new show on any given night. Now that live music is returning, we can look forward to what Mr. Young might do next; whatever it is, count me in as I continue closer from having been at 90 plus Neil Young performances to, hopefully soon, attending 100 and beyond.
