4.5. I've been a Neil Young fan for decades, and for a variety of reasons I never saw him live with Crazy Horse. They're all getting up there (I think Neil and the bassist are 78, the drummer was 80; the other guitarist retired so Willie Nelson's son is filling his slot), so I'm not sure how many more chances I would have gotten to see him. Plus, unlike the last couple of times he's toured with Crazy Horse, he actually did many of his past hits.
The only things keeping it from a 5 are: 1) Neil's voice still sounds like him, but it's losing some of its strength, 2) it was an outdoor concert, and pretty cold, and 3) my brother wasn't willing to spend as much as me on tix, so I ended up sitting a good distance from the stage
Saw Neil & The Horse several times. One time he did the Greendale stage musical with Horse encore (original Horse) and then in Philly with the Rust Never Sleeps stage set up. He played for 3.5 hours and did a 20 minute rage on Like a Hurricane. Patti Smith was the opener and she rocked.

i think @Grant Green and perhaps @PSU87 are both guitar players. I would like their response to this…. I really enjoyed it.

This song has nothing to do with the theme, I just always liked it since it came out. Cracked me up when the FBI and FCC investigated the lyrics! Actually, they talk about that on this take. Also, the group that sang Alley Oop considered suing them over the second song Anie Fannie!
We saw them a couple of weeks ago in Pittsburgh. They did this one as well as Burial Ground (late 60's-early 70's pop vibe) and Joan in the Garden (prog I guess? Kind of Pink Floyd-y) from the new album.
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed it very much as well.
And, thanks for the shoutout, but mentioning me in the same sentence as GrantGreen probably does him a disservice....I am a strummer trying to support a singing habit.
Heading to NYC/Broadway to see Tommy at Nederlander Theater. Have seen it off Broadway, but looking forward to this event.
Really nice playing. I feel like it should be SRV covering Hendrix covering hotel cali. Nice touch playing the original Felder solo at the end. Anyone that can play solid chord melody always gets my attention.
