Last night's show was fantastic.
Anyone have the setlists for the two nights? I want to compare them...

I saw this show in Richmond a few weeks ago.  Same setlist, if not pretty darn close.  Two balcony tickets were 130 with fees.  Pretty sure the non-premium seats for the bmore shows were only about $10 more.

It clocked in at about 90 min.  Very good show, but not mind blowingly great.

Definitely not.  Pretty standard version.

The show was sans band.  Just him and an assortment of acoustic/electric guitars, pianos and organs.

Richmond show was the same. It was good, but not great. There were some really fantastic moments, especially Cinnamon Girl, but I feel like a full band show would have been better. But I'm glad I got to see Neil, and my ticket wasn't too expensive ($57) so it all worked out.

Plus, Bert Jansch was wonderful.

A minimum wage worker would have to work a full eight hour shift to gross enough money to pay for that $57 ticket.

I think the average minimum wage worker is probably listening to narcocorridos or reggaeton and not Neil Young.

My three year old was lecturing me about evil rich white men who control the world last night. That's the example she used.

Hah.  Yes.  I try hard as well to instill  respect of the proletariat into my kids...as well as a healthy dose of distrust to ANYONE that wants $$ from you.

My daughter is always saying "They're just trying to get your money."

Went to last night's show. I loved it. I've never seen Neil Young live, but he exceeded my expectations. His voice and playing have held up remarkably well over the years. Highlights for me were I Believe in You, Peaceful Valley Blvd, and Ohio. Great show, douchey crowd.

I'm from Baltimore and had never been to the Hippodrome before. Great venue.

I was there last night in the "cheap seats".  If you know anything about Neil Young live, you know that he could care less about what the audience wants.  He plays what he wants and tough shit if you don't like it.  He barely interacts with the crowd.  That being said, I thought the show was pretty good.  I wasn't that familiar with the new songs from the new album, but that's my fault.  He has been playing same set list every show - no changes.  He played for about 1:45.

True, but about 100 time less douchey than B. Wallace.

This is kind of cool. (http://twitter.com/#!/TwatterLord/status/65545219784978432)


I can imagine Neil Young touring with Thou as the opener.
