Neil Young and the restless


Last night's Neil Young concert at the Xcel Energy Center was effing amazing. While I waited years for this show (it was on my concert bucket list), I never expected the performance turned in by Canada's finest export.
Young, 62, hit the stage just after 9 p.m. in a paint-splattered jacket, a t-shirt, jeans and New Balance. The set featured numerous hits "Hey Hey My My (both blue and black)" "Old Man" and "Cortez the Killer" stood out. He also played my favorite "Needle and the Damage Done."
Two hours later I had seen what was probably the greatest concert of my life.
Setlist, video are here.
