June 10th - Newcastle Metro Radio Arena

June 11th - Birmingham LG Arena

June 13th - Glasgow SECC

It would be good, but too soon for Neil to return?

[When Jokers Attack]

Snapping up a ticket for Glasgow. Another nice warm up show before Glasto.

[Wooderson]

Fair play to Shakey giving Dubland the Saturday night. No messin' with this kid.

I'd love it to happen but maybe it is too soon. There is no way I could not watch but 09 was so special that I'm almost actually scared of seeing him again just in case it spoils it.

Any idea what sort of set list he plays with Crazy Horse? Is it similar to a solo show, or not?

it'll be essentialy the same set

(he doesnt do solo shows very often - he usually plays with a band)

He has been sticking mostly to the same songs most of this tour. Especially all the new ones. Occasionally mixing up the classics.

Edit: He hasn't actually been mixing it up all that much

Yes I'm aware he's usually playing with a band, but it's normally billed as simply "Neil Young", I just wondered if Crazy Horse being there made a difference to the sort of set we could expect.

Neil was my first Pyramid headliner back in 2009. I remember how fantastic it was and how I was thinking, "This is only Friday night".

I'm considering the Birmingham show, and would def see him at Glastonbury again. I don't think it will happen as it is too soon to headline, and he probably wouldn't settle for anything less.

I was just being pedantic...it helps a slow day go quicker

I was exactly the same, didn't think it could get any better.... then we had Blur on the Sunday!

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Live Nation presale Thursday at 9. Day after you damn O2 phone holders.

Birmingham for me

I still have debates in my head about which was better, I never reach a conclusion and I don't know why there has to be a winner. There just does and it annoys me. Why I can't just sit back, think about it and smile about how lucky I was that it happened and I was there to see it I'll never know.

Both amazing performances, but I think Blur just edge it for me. They blew me away and I hadn't even been drinking on Sunday, over did it a tad on a few things on the Saturday night

[The Nal]

Too soon? He played on the Friday night in 09. If he played Saturday morning that wouldn't have been too soon!

He fucking nailed it that night.

Yeah, tough call on which was better. Being Canadian I tend to side with Neil Y. I was exhausted on Sunday night so watched from a ways back to enable occasional sit-downs. If they both played on Friday I wouldn't have been able to choose between them.

Pity about Bruce. Seen him before and Since and his Saturday night simply wasn't up to his standard. Still last time I saw Clarence Clemons so memorable.

easy choice for me...I've loved Shakey's music for as long as I can remember. Blur, on the other hand, I cannot abide. Didnt watch them - would rather stick drawing pins in my temples

I felt same way. Not a huge huge Neil Young fan but the 2009 set was truly special. I'd seen him once before do a dour Farm Aid set, but friday at the pyramid was one of 3 truly great headline sets that year. I didn't really know if I needed a followup. But...2 weeks ago today, I was intrigued to see him w/ Crazy Horse and so went to see his Madison Square Garden show, with some upstart local female singer as support...Patti Smith and Her Band was what she called herself...A truly phenomenal show, both of them just brilliant. I consider myself 'done'...i'd only see him ever again at Glasto.

[guypjfreak]

one of if not the best ever performance ive seen at glasto love the man love the music its never to early imo for this to happen

[marcwilson87]

Best thing I have ever seen was him at Glasto. He won't be back so soon, but I will be dreaming about it tonight anyway!

[The Nal]

He has a whole other setlist of songs he could play that he didn't in 09.

Old Man, Cortez the Killer, Southern Man, Cowgirl in the Sand, Like a Hurricane, Walk On, Ohio, Harvest Moon, Pocahontas, Don't Let It Bring You Down, Tonights the Night, Winterlong, Revolution Blues, Out on the Weekend.

And endless amount!

Hope he doesn't play Motion Pictures though, as there will be grown men blubbering like orphaned walruses all over the place.

Like a Hurricane has me blubbing like a child

I've never seen him live before, in my book he'd be more than welcome, definitely one of the big ones I'm looking to tick off the "acts to see before I/they die" list.

All sorts of conflicting opinions on Efests but I don't think there was anyone who saw him in 09 and didn't think it was ace?
