Shaki Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Oh yeah, did anyone else think the bassist looked like a fatter, hispanic Dave "Iron Maiden" Murray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incredibledisc Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I still have a little glow. Springsteen in two and a half weeks will top that up........Couldn't agree more - will be watching Glasto this weekend to see how the Boss goes down.Anyone enlighten me why there was a dude at the back of the stage painting pictures and the red telephone?

Iversen Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Had never listened to Neil Young before last night and only went because my dad bought me a ticket. Left with a huge smile on my face and enjoyed every second of it. To be honest I should have expected it to be good since every time my dad's roped me into a gig with him it has been. (Last one was the Australian Pink Floyd when I'd never listened to Pink Floyd before.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I saw that too but can't enlighten you any. Probably something to do with "art" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french_disko Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Oh yeah, did anyone else think the bassist looked like a fatter, hispanic Dave "Iron Maiden" Murray?Jeezus, that's uncanny - I said that to my mate during the gig as well! It kinda ruined the night a bit for him as he started crying with laughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney_stu Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Auld NeilWords fail me... how good was that?1) Neil is a genuine genius... the best gig ever in the history of AECC for certainty2) Down by the River ... RITFW and Cortez ... 3) Needle, Unknown Legend Everyone Knows this is nowhere..Saw him last year in the playhouse Embra... best gig I've been at I reckon... the sound was perfect. AECC sound a bit shitty ... but Neil rocked and showed all you young lads you can still be doing it at 60! As for the rent a weegies... GTF ... one of them was moaning about having to come all the way to Aber (fucking) deen to see Neil ... His only Scottish date " a disgrace" ... f*CK OFF..More annoying were the two train spotters trying to out nerd each other on who had the most encyclopedic knowledge of Neily minutae ... still at least they were sober :-) Where are my Neil Young archives .... ? The red phone? doesn't everyone have one ?:-)Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Is it just me or has the neeps gazette totally failed to review the gig? Pretty poor given they sponsor the arena and did manage to review the show from the night before - Britains Got Talent - which was a sell out 4,000!! How many at Neil Young does anyone know - reckon theor was more than that somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think his performance of Cortez the Killer was the best performance of any song I have seen by any band ever. Amazing. Down by The River comes a close 2nd. I said to my Dad, if he carried on playing Down by the River until his set finished I'd have still walked out a happy man. A wonderful night that even the AECC couldn't spoil (and although Ive seen some complaints, compared to Arctic Monkeys at AECC the crowd were a delight).I'm with you kirkt Cortez the Killer was simply unflawed magnificence...... closely follow by Down by The RiverCan I recommend people check out Low/Dirty 3 "in the fishtank"version of Down by The River which is as good & certainly faithfulto the original.Had Neil played Hurricane I'm sure the roof would have come offthe tin shed Neil Young played Aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty poor given they sponsor the arena and did manage to review the show from the night before - Britains Got Talent - which was a sell out 4,000!! There's an irony there - a true, enduring genius playing in the same venue a night after the place was infested by no-talent, flash-in-the-pan nonentities.Also - anyone remember what song NY dedicated to "all you alchoholics"? - the EE said "Stupid Girl", but we're not convinced it was.
