Went to the sunday gig which was fantastic. Always hoped to see the man live but never expected to hear so many great numbers as well.
Only marred by the Geordie bloke and his Welsh lady friend standing at the back of the circle talking through most of both sets. They only shut up when one of them went for a smoke or a beer, he then complained at the songs he missed! Let's hope they don't

2008-03-10T13:44:00.000-04:00

Saturday night was utterly awesome: haunting, beautiful and reflective first set and then full throttle into the second, slowing down for a brilliant 'Winterlong' for Danny Whitten, and then cranking up the pressure again. Sure, it would have been lovely to hear 'Cortez' and 'Like a H' but then again it never felt like a greatest hits show, so we did more than fine as it was. I thought 'Roll

2008-03-10T05:12:00.000-04:00

Absolutley amazing the gig last night in London. There is no one that can play a guitar like Neil Young. The electric set was esp good he put everthing into it.. the first 5 tracks were blistering cert one of the best gigs I have been too. I never thought I would get a chance to see Neil Young and I am so glad I got this opportunity. Highights for me The Loner what a great opener that was.. hey

2008-03-10T05:08:00.000-04:00

Went Sunday night the 9th at H-Smith. Had 2nd-last row, side balcony seat but still was amazing. Neil cracked a fingernail in his pick/strumming hand 1/2-way through electric set, checking it several times and eventually having a plaster/bandage of some sort applied by a stage hand twice. This cut (ehem) into his ferocity of playing, but of course didn't diminish his energy or power. Also, he

2008-03-09T17:49:00.000-04:00

I went Saturday night too; does anyone else feel that Neil cut short a second encore track? Am sure the rest of the band were ready for a second track before Neil gestured them all onstage for the final bow. Still a cracking night though; the acoustic set was stunning!

2008-03-09T17:28:00.000-04:00

Last night's show was the best I've ever been to. Went with the wife and our 2 oldest kids (age 11 and 10). Difficult to pick out highlights, it was all brilliant. A Man Needs a maid was spellbinding, Journey Through the Past was gorgeous, On the Way Home was an awesome surprise, Down by the River was coruscating, Winterlong was truly moving, and Powderfinger was majestic. I think the kids are

The loner: Me and my friend was also coming over from Oslo to see Neil yesterday. Nice to hear that there was more Norwegians there.

The concert totally blew my mind, must have been one of the best things I've been to in my whole life. The highlight was definitely Down By The River. Overwhelming! Wish I had tickets for next weekend as well, but I really can't afford another 150 pound

2008-03-09T13:29:00.000-04:00

Went with my dad to the show last night, first ever time ive seen Neil. Thoughgt it was incredible. Ambulance Blues and Sad Movies i thought were especially good and Down by the River was as good as anything ive evr heard live.

Im trying to go down for either Friday or Sat next week as i enjoyed it so much. Does anyone know the best way of getting tickets or how much the touts were

2008-03-09T12:41:00.000-04:00

I have just arrived Oslo after a short visit to London to see Neil 3/8. Unfortunately he will not be playing in Norway on this tour. I really loved this setting. The venue was great and the accustic set without weaknesses. Before this tour I never thought I would get to hear songs like Mellow My Mind, Journey Through the Past and Ambulance Blues live. I have never experienced Neil playing any of

2008-03-09T08:27:00.000-04:00

My first, and in all probability, only Neil show and it was an unbelievable experience. As far as I am concerned every single song would have been worth the admission price alone but, despite the fact that every single minute was brilliant, the highlight for me had to be Down by the River, especially the way he belted out the chorus and the way he played Old Black, the man in SIXTY TWO for

2008-03-09T06:46:00.000-04:00

Tremendous! This was the first time I've seen him since the same venue in 1976 and joins that show as one of the best I've ever seen.

Too many highlights to mention - churlish to mention also being slightly disappointed with the encore but we still got to see more songs than the previous two shows!

Now desperately seeing if I can grab a ticket for next Saturday.

2008-03-09T06:24:00.000-04:00

Saw Neil last Wednesday and was hoping to maybe hear a different selection of songs.....and what a selection he chose for this performance.... 14 absolute gems were within the accoustic set.

The highlights for me were 'Ambulance Blues' and 'A Man Needs A Maid'...............
after Neil had finished 'A Man...', he remained seated at the piano, and played 'Flying On The Ground'

2008-03-09T06:07:00.000-04:00

On piano - brilliant. Saw Neil in Paris earlier on this tour and that was surreal, this as even better. His command over his music is awesome, it realy leaves you speechless. A word to the crew - great job, you contribute to making the whole experience unforgettable. To those going tonight - forget the cellphones and cameras, just sit on the edge of your seat and take it all in.
Long may you

2008-03-08T22:19:00.000-04:00

Just got back from the concert. Simply of this world!! Neil played an acoustic version of Flying on the Ground is Wrong which was a nice treat! Other highlights for me were Down by the River, Winterlong, and No Hidden Path. Pegi's set was very enjoyable too.
