Neil Young has earned a reputation as something of a belligerent performer over the years, or at least one stubborn enough to think it's OK to play an entire album twice in a row and call it a gig. But anyone dreading two hours devoid of the classics and heavy on Chrome Dreams II was in for a treat. The 63-year-old obligingly played for his audience, kicking off with a hammering version of Hey Hey My My (Into the Black), before lunging straight into Mansion on the Hill.
The set was heavy on the Crazy Horse era, with a very, very extended version of Down by the River. There was time to zip through some acoustic numbers, including Heart of Gold, before he worked the crowd up into a frenzy with a version of Rockin' in the Free World which included at least four blistering breakdowns and additional choruses. By the time he exited the stage at midnight, the crowd were chanting "Neil! Neil!", and he returned for an encore to perform the Beatles A Day in the Life.
High point: Young screaming "Yeaaaahh!" into the mic after breaking virtually every string on his guitar, which he then thumped with the mic stand. Getting in touch with his petulant rock star roots, we expect.
Low point: For many people (but not me) the extensive guitar solos on just about every song seemed to drag. But that's "people" for you.
In a tweet: Neil Young displayed passion, purity and eviscerating riffs. And all the hits!
