Why this show from the Greendale tour? Because WE WHERE THERE! Beautiful Wisconsin summer evening, though maybe a bit cool (must've been the lake because it was much warmer elsewhere).My Smart Wife and I had a great time. Bought Crazy Horse caps for the two of us and The Boy. Still proudly worn by all family members. Mine is really sweat-stained, though. Shouldn't have worn it mowing the lawn all those times.

Two favorite memories: Neil's massive fleet of shiny new red Lionel trucks hauling all the tour gear (presumably his portable train set tucked in one or two of them) and the incredible encore. They lowered the massive vintage keyboard on cables from the rafters, draped in weird shrouds, for "Like a Hurricane"! Pretty sure it was the same damn keyboard used in the day, comparing my memory with pics I've seen from those late 70s shows. And "Mr. Soul" was very, very strange. Neil had to goad Crazy Horse into it. They were actually shaking their heads "No!" to him as he played the intro. Neil stamped all over the stage, shaking his guitar at the band until they finally played one of the loosest, most effed-up versions I've ever heard.

Nothin' But Neil

"Live music is better," right? That's what Nothin' But Neil is all about - live music. Specifically, live Neil Young. All bootlegs, all the time. No legit releases (though plenty of links to give folks the chance to buy the Real Neil Deal). Format is FLAC so that you can burn to CD or convert to MP3 yourself. Hopefully, Neil will give permission to the Live Music Archive someday to host his shows, but until then, well, somebody has to do it.
