Neil Young Nassau Coliseum Wednesday, February 23, 1983

I just checked set list.fm to refresh my memory and this was indeed the Neil Young Solo/Trans tour. The concert at Nassau Coliseum is interesting with songs from “Old Ways” “Trans” and older classics. There is a video of the Trans tour out there with Nils Lofgren on guitar that is quite good. This was near the beginning of Neil’s battles with Geffen Records about the music he was choosing to release at the time. Nils Lofgren played on the latest Crazy Horse project “Colorado” which followed a couple of dates in Winnipeg that I was fortunate to have attended (the polar vortex is real). This Nassau Coliseum concert, and the one at Madison Square Garden on the next night, followed my taking a “leave of absence” from Saint John’s University School of Law and my quest to figure out what to do with my life that led to a 32 year career in law enforcement. There are a lot of forks in the road of life to be sure.

Are There Any More Real Cowboys?

Rock on!
