Long before it was purchased by NYU for student housing, New York City’s Palladium located in downtown Manhattan was the rough and rowdy alter ego to what would become the Beacon Theatre as the preeminent 3000 plus seat concert hall venue. I attended two evenings with Maria McKee opening for Neil Young in September of 1989. I last saw Neil,with the Real, in Indianapolis before the pandemic hit which may have been his last headlining live performance for awhile (Young played Farm Aid after the Indy gig) as Neil has said he will not hit the road again until Covid is under control. As the new year approaches, and Covid once again surges, a Neil Young live performance does not seem likely at the moment, or any time soon, so in the meantime enjoy the NYA, “Barn” and the just dropped “Summer Songs” collection.
