TheNewUnion Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Not sure if this will work, here's a bad photo of the show. Yes, I was that close to the stage (no effort required) https://goo.gl/photos/cWPuTSMPhg7NzbCx6 Edited December 19, 2015 by TheNewUnion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewUnion Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 On the Beach is probably my favourite. I really like Silver and Gold too. Good luck getting through the likes of Arc though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change my mind in which order regularly but I think beach tops it. I'd forgotten about arc but ill persevere. Scruffy you are the light as I navigate through the dark of Neil Young's back catalogue. I thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I can often get free tickets for a box (with free beer and food) at the O2 through work - but the date clashes with the exact date I'm supposed to be off to France for the Euros (football). Aaaaaaaargh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 To put this in context, the next three gigs in a row at the O2 are Simply Red, The Corrs and Jason Derulo - so the chances of something decent coming up aren't exactly great!

Start with everybody knows or after the goldrush then harvest. For the heavier ( for want of a better word) stuff try ragged glory or Zuma or even the more recent psychedelic pill or for a mix rust never sleeps (ignoring welfare mothers). Cheers again. I have on the beach and really like it, and Harvest. Appreciate the advice. It's all largely good with a lot of sublime stuff I find *:-) * With occasional weird tracks that I don't understand why they ever mad the cut...

Rumblestripe Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I note that Mr. Springsteen has just announced Spring US dates, touring the revamped "The River" album, if he extends into Europe for the summer we could get a repeat of 2009 headliners? Are Blur busy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Sir Robin Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 7 hours ago, Scruffylovemonster said: And then, the promise of a return to form - "Freedom". The first album in a decade that showed (for me) that he could recapture his 70's heyday. I'd filed this under "Rocking in the Free Worls + 1 or 2 ok tracks but not really worth a listen" in my head, but it's better than that. Crime in the City, Don't Cry, Wrecking Ball, Too Far Gone all cracking tunes. One I'll be listening to more frequently in future. Freedom is a great album, right up there with anything since Rust Never Sleeps imho. Very strange that he should release his first outstanding piece of work in years just a couple of weeks after Dylan did the same (with Oh Mercy).

Neil Young was my first ever pyramid headliner. And it is has been down hill ever since....... at first I was thinking about 1997 - the year he pulled out though a cut finger. but you mean 2009 - this was the setlist. Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) Mansion On The Hill Are You Ready For The Country? Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere Spirit Road Words Cinnamon Girl Mother Earth The Needle And The Damage Done Comes A Time Unknown Legend Heart Of Gold Down By The River Get Behind The Wheel Rockin' In The Free World A Day In The Life I have been lucky as I have worked at many concerts where he was playing including Hop farm in 2008 and I made certain there would be no clash with shifts . this was the setlist at Hop farm 2008 Love And Only Love Hey Hey, My My Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere I've Been Waiting For You Spirit Road Fuckin' Up Oh, Lonesome Me Mother Earth The Needle And The Damage Done Unknown Legend Heart Of Gold Old Man Get Back To The Country Words No Hidden Path A Day In The Life and the Phoenix Festival in 1996 this was the setlist. Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) Down by the River Powderfinger Big Time Slip Away The Needle and the Damage Done Sugar Mountain Heart of Gold Cinnamon Girl Fuckin' Up Cortez the Killer Music Arcade Like a Hurricane Sedan Delivery Danger Bird Rockin' in the Free World a video clip from that year https://youtu.be/aOVbt_zNQvg I know that many were not keen on the Phoenix Festival but working at it was just pure magic but of course we used to arrive a day before the public so we missed all the bad traffic jams. on checking the dates came across this cracking shot { which I have not seen before } of the Pyramid area in 1997 { as many will know the stage burnt down in 1994 } - the actual guest bar is the large white tent with blue strips and I used to work in there - from memory the larger tent was some type of press office. it would be great if I could see him again but not sure where that will be.
