For the second Neil Young & Crazy Horse performance at Forest Hills Stadium (and my fourth on this “ Love Earth” tour) I attended solo and stood about five rows back behind the pit facing the left side of the stage. After the band opened with “ Cortez the Killer” and “Cinnamon Girl” Neil blew up the set list adding “ Roll Another Number”, “ Dangerbird”, and “ Sugar Mountain” into the mix while also reinstating “Down By The River” and “F*!#in’ Up”.

The overcast sky hanging over this iconic outdoor venue provided an ambience that Mr. Young seemed to appreciate.

Everything about the two day Neil and Horsefest was special somewhat taking the sting out of what I spent at the merch booth. I ran into my childhood friend and concert buddy Joe Fisk and his girlfriend in a bodega on my way to the conveniently located Long Island Railroad Station and headed home a happy man. Tonight I try to catch up on some sleep, after a whirlwind rock and roll couple of weeks with work interspersed throughout, before heading to my daughter’s on Friday afternoon where we will be in the pit for Young & Crazy at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts that night. I had taken the family to a CSNY concert at the Jones Beach Theatre when the kids were much younger, but this is the first tour either of them have seen Uncle Neil & Crazy Horse up close and personal. David Fricke wrote an outstanding review of the Neil Young & Crazy Horse concert that took place at Forest Hills Stadium on Tuesday.; a must read.
The road goes on forever…..

Like a Hurricane

Rock on!
