I have not attended a lot of arena concerts at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, but in April, 2000 I made the trip to the then Continental Arena to see Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I have gone to ninety plus (and hopefully counting) Neil Young shows through the years, starting with Rust Never Sleeps, but this CSNY New Jersey gig is not producing any particular memory. The Continental Arena is more notable (for me) as being where I was caught on film in the orchestra, full screen rocking’, during Young and Crazy’s “F!#*in Up”

Stephen Stills and Young will be performing at a Stills benefit event in April, and Neil will be at Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday bash in May (both shows happening in California).

Sadly, David Crosby is no longer with us but Graham Nash is doing a solo tour which will hit New York’s City Winery and upstate Bethel Woods soon.

Following these return to the stage Neil Young performances, I am hopeful that Neil and the Promise of the Real are inspired to go on tour, as Nils Lofgren will be unavailable and on the Springsteen tour until the end of the year (at least).

Long May You Run

Rock on!
