In April, 1999, Neil Young played a multi-night solo acoustic stand at The Theatre at Madison Square Garden supporting the “ Silver and Gold” collection. In celebrated Neil Young fashion, the “ Silver and Gold” album was released a year later in 2000.

The Theatre at MSG has never been one of my favorite venues although nicely renovated with good acoustics, however it is visually a bit sterile tucked n the basement of the The World’s Most Famous Arena. I have seen Van Morrison with Bob Dylan perform together there (on the same night The Rolling Stones rocked the arena above our heads). Years later I caught Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy at the same MSG venue when the seating situation near the rear of the venue left us feeling far away from the action. For The Theatre at MSG, I would suggest spending the extra money for a closer vantage point (a recommendation I never make but maneuvering at this venue is problematic) where a better seat location definitely improves your enjoyment of the show at this particular music hall.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Rock on!
