The Truth

I am not a reviewer...far from it...BUT...I can see what's what...and have a 'one man's opinion'...er, the Horse's View...something like that...and we have seen many many concerts over our lifetimes...all genres...even the almost newbies...love the oldies...of course...and the country stuff, which we have absolutely fallen in love with...the late 60's and 70's music is to die for...unfortunately, many of those artists are doing just that...

In the near past, we have seen Diana Ross, Little Big Town, and The Beach Boys...and last eve, the one and only Neil Young....who has been popularized with many many hits...outside of his collaboration with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young...but, something happened last eve, the same that happened when my son and I saw Hall and Oates in Vegas a while back...they played their 'new stuff' and none, or very little of the songs that made them WHO THEY ARE!...

Young played songs that he said were 'in the vault and were still good'...the ears are the deciders...they were NOT GOOD!...his voice was still the same...but, lord, what on earth was he trying to prove?...probably 10,000 fans were there for his hits...they were polite...as they waited...and waited...and endured what he thought was good...they were not...we chose to bolt...as many others did the same...

It was one of the very worst concerts we have ever gone to...the worst?...in the conversation...part of, but not the real problem, was the seating...very similar to Humphreys...too tight...and very hard to see the stage...and for some reason, the big screens were not used...bah humbug...all in all, a very bad happening...

We were warned by our son, as to what was gonna occur...as they saw him last week at the Santa Barbara Bowl...that crowd got restless, and one soul yelled out 'sing some rock and roll, Neil!'...Young responded with 'you're an asshole'...classy...

For you who have tickets to this version of him...good luck...have patience...and you too, have been forewarned...

The prosecution rests...
