Neil Young is still rocking hard these days. In addition to a full set each evening, Neil sat in with Metallica, Roger Waters and other acts during the two evenings.
The short, but poignant and beautiful acoustic sets took center stage at the Shoreline Amphitheatre. With a mix of classic tunes, covers and new songs, Neil’s sets were perfect. Neil’s writing and protest spirit are as sharp as ever on tunes like “John Oaks” which is the story of an unwarranted police shooting.
Towards the end of each set, Neil welcomed Nils Lofgren and Willie Nelson for some tunes. Neil’s classic anthem “Rockin’ in the Free World” was a chance for all the artists to come out for one final tune before the set closed.
Neil replayed several of the tunes, but played 15 unique songs in total over the two evenings.
