Twiz Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Last week I got to finally see Neil Young and Crazy Horse at the Peterson Events Center when their tour came through Pittsburgh. My girlfriend LOVES Neil Young. He's her absolute favorite musician, so the night was particularly special because it was also her first time seeing him perform. It was a really amazing show. We got there early, and claimed our spots. We were about 10 feet from the stage. His voice still sounds awesome, and his unmistakable guitar tone sounded as it does on the records. When they played Cinnamon Girl it was such a surreal moment. My only regret is they didn't play more songs, but overall it was a great concert. A young couple even got married during the concert. My girlfriend caught a guitar pick! Such a special night. I think I was just as excited to see his Bigsby equipped Les Pauls as I was to see him haha. Anyway, here are some pics. Just from my iPhone because they weren't letting real cameras in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Great pics.....Thanks for posting.....Congrats on seeing them; IMHO, that's Neil at his best, with Crazy Horse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Awesome pics of an awesome band. Neil's guitar tone is my second favorite after Townsend's LAL tone. Some people complain that Neil isn't a very good lead player, but I disagree: just because you play more slowly doesn't mean you are any less effective. In fact, I would argue that he makes every note count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windmills Optional Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Cool pics! I recognize the one with the "psychedelic" lighting as taken during Mr. Soul. I was lucky enough to see them twice last week, in Chicago on Thursday then on Saturday in Austin at the Austin City Limits Festival. Both great shows. I've gotten to see Neil many times over the years with and without Crazy Horse and it's always well worth it but for my money you can't beat seeing him with the Horse! And heymisterk, I'm with you completely on the tone thing--both Townshend's Live at Leeds and Neil's are at the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Man, I am jealous. Neil is one of my all time favorites too and I have not seen him live. Last time he came through was the Le Noise tour and tickets were $$$. I just could not justify the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yea, the tix were pricey, but not super expensive. Ours were $80 each for the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 If he played all of his best songs you would still be there. I'd hate to be the guy who had to load those amps into a truck and go to the next gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyBillyBob1 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 So do you think Fender kicked in some $$$ for this tour? I have never seen anything quite like that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I watched Neil Young and Crazy Horse on Live from Austin City Limits last week. It was on the internet. It was great. Certainly in step with other performances I've seen. Glad you had such a great time. Last time I seen Young was back in 1996-97. It was with Crazy Horse too. Leaning on the stage for most the entire show, I'll have to say it's one of my top-5 concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
