Neil Young & Crazy Horse Madison Square Garden Sunday, August 18, 1996 Saratoga Performing Arts Center Sunday, August 25, 1996 Star Lake, Pittsburgh (with Steve Earle, Spiritualized) Tuesday, September 3, 1996

What is most interesting for me about this trio of Neil Young & Crazy Horse concerts in 1996 is twofold. The Madison Square Garden show for any Neil Young tour is a given. The Saratoga Performing Arts Center show happened because we took a summer family vacation to the Bonnie View at Lake George and conveniently Neil and the band were playing SPAC while we were there. I left the kids with my wife to watch for the evening, jumped in the car and headed south. I made the solo run to nearby Saratoga Springs where I sat in the mezzanine and witnessed, for what I believe was the first time, Young & Crazy perform “ Dangerbird” in concert. The Pittsburgh gig at the summer shed Star Lake was a road trip to visit my buddy Eric with the specific objective to catch the Neil Young & Crazy Horse concert. We have attended many Neil Young concerts together through the years and while we are traveling down the highway of life, every once in awhile Neil’s path will intertwine with ours so that we can catch the rock snd roll show and whatever else it may lead us to.

No Hidden Path
