Neil Young Tickets

What a perfect combination of performer and venue. It was as if we had been invited to Neil Young's attic to observe as he created a "love and war" themed set list from his vast catalogue of songs, accompanying himself on whatever instrument best suited the creation. He spoke sparingly, once to say that he thought the Fox was the most beautiful theater in the country. He communicated every emotion through the music, most convincingly with his guitars. I saw Neil at Pine Knob 25 years ago when I was a college student; this event was a 13th birthday present for my son. Neil is even better now than he was then, vocally and instrumentally, and he continues to be relevant with new material.

Amazing one man show!!! Neil Young sounded perfect!

Neil Young was great, although I wish he had played longer. The concert goers on the other hand were rude and annoying. Talking, texting and getting up every ten minutes for beer! Stay at home if you're not a music purist!!!!!

Bert Jansch, the legendary British folk/rock artist opened up. Despite a short set, he played many old standards and gave the audience a brief, but strong taste of his guitar skills that have been thrilling crowds for decades. Neil Young opened up with a few acoustic numbers before plugging in and wowing the crowds with one favorite after another. He delivered a strange, yet interesting set that even included him playing piano.

Neil Young was outstanding!!! An amazing performer. Solo, no need for drums etc. The Fox is a great place to see a show. I highly recommend it!

My first time at the Fox Theatre and certainly will not be my last. 7 hour trip 100% worthwhile. Opening act wasn't anything exciting but Neil Young blew my mind. First time seeing him without a backing band and he took ownership of the stage and the audience from beginning to end.

I have been to a few of Neil's concerts, and this time I was able to take my ten year old grandson. It was a great evening of music and memories. The song list was perfect . Thanks for another great concert!

This was one of the best shows ive seen Neil play. Alot of people say they really like Neil Young but when you see him live you understand why people love him. Fantastic!

Good show but would love to see neil with the whole band one day. Great sound but some of the hard rockers did not shine as well as the acoustic work. Have to say Neil is still amazing thou, Keep on rockin in the free world*****

Neil Young was in great form and with a great venue to hear & see a solo show. Only negative is that the crowd should have left their drinks behind in the lobby and not in their seats.

Rock and Roll is here to stay! Fantastic concert---lover every minute.

Totally Awsome. best concert Ive been to in a while

Best show I''ve ever seen. I prefer the solo shows.

Neil was awesome. The fans not so much. Pretty magical seeing Neil with all his instruments.

I have always wanted to see Neil Young live. A true living legend. While I had been warned that he would not partake in much audience interaction (of which there was little), it was not really missed. He performed hit after hit with incredible sound. It was amazing to see that he still has unbelievable mastery of his voice and the multiple guitars that he brought out throughout the show.

He spoke less than very little yet acknowledged the adoring crowd during the 90 minute set. The Songs(?) well, the Songs spoke for themselves. He played a sampling of classics - accompanied by harmonica, acoustic / electric guitars, upright / grand pianos plus a pump organ; some with new arrangements. I now find myself anticipating the seven played from the yet to be recorded album that is to be produced by Daniel Lanois. At different times I found my eyes welled by the sad songs or my body vibrated from the foundation-shaking feedback. It was all Neil, only Neil. Therefore it was all good.

I have to start this off by proclaiming that I am a HUGE Neil Young fan! Having said that, I have to admit that it was a disappointing performance, especially for his homecoming show. I've seen him many times, with CSNY and with is band last year and this was by far the worst! The audience was electric, and he did not draw from the energy that was present at all. The program was ho hum, a lot of new material which was fine but overall boring and meaningless. He tried to compensate by whaling on the guitar in obscurity (yeah, I know that's' what he does, but this was different, it had no heart to it) I actually started to yawn midway through the show. There were tons of songs in his repertoire that he could have played to match the intimate setting way better. Barely interacted with the audience which was poor on his part. Overall, I would give this a 2 star rating, but because it is Neil Young, I gave him the extra star. Poor money/entertainment value.

Neil Young isn't one for a lot of talk- he puts all of this energy into the music. A good combination between tried and true classics and new songs, the performance drew a wide range of audience members: from teenage fans who have discovered Young's music long after he first hit radio waves, to baby-boomers who have been fans from the beginning. Don't let the fact that this is a one-man show fool you: this was a high-energy concert with enough sound to fill the largest of arenas, and yet set in the more intimate setting of the Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall. Intimate is probably the best word to describe this concert, for most of the fans in the audience, as soon as the lights when out and Neil walked on stage, it felt like it was just you, the music, and him. Phenomenal.

Now that's entertainment. If you wanted the definition of absolutely the best performer and entertainer you would find Mr. Young's portraint in the dictionairy. Amazing how one man can make such increadible sound with his voice and the simplicity of harmonica and guitar. It was mesmerizing. Listening to him preform and watching him on stage was almost seductive. I felt as if I was the only one in the theatre and Mr. young's lyrics and music pulled me into a trance. His talent is indescribable. His voice...Wow...never ever has he sounded so good. He himself is a finely tuned instrument and he meshes well with his incredible wailings on guitar,keyboard and harmonica. I'm 53 and I liked his performance better now than that in 74' when I was seventeem. He truely is a master at his craft.

Neil Young “Twisted Road Tour” review: Centennial Concert Hall, Winnipeg - July 27, 2010 Neil Young’s latest visit to his former hometown, the final show of his 2 night stand at the Centennial Concert Hall, displayed the 64-year old singer/songwriter in a far more somber and introspective mood than his last visit here at the MTS Centre back in October 2008. Downright chatty at the MTS Centre (for Neil Young), the legendary singer/songwriter barely spoke during his solo performance, choosing to let his songs do his talking for him, and restricting his acknowledgement of the audience to waves and gestures for the most part. The mood of Young’s performance was likely affected by the death Sunday (7/25/10) of longtime sideman Ben Keith which follows on the heels of the serious motorcycle injury accident to his current producer Daniel Lanois and death of longtime music and film associate Larry "L.A." Johnson, who died earlier this year. Sporting jeans, boots, a white jacket and matching hat, Young hit the stage to a standing ovation and quickly proceeded to take care of business, dipping into his enviable back catalogue and pulling out a trio of gems which included an acoustic/harmonica version of “My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), “Tell Me Why” from 1970’s After the Gold Rush and the haunting Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young “Déjà vu” ballad “Helpless.” Young’s instantly recognizable voice has not lost any of its range, or emotion as it bleated urgently above overtop the chord progressions. The “Heart of Gold” hitmaker, cozily surrounded by a rack of guitars, a small wall of amps, 2 pianos on either side of the stage with large swag lamps mounted overhead, and an ancient looking pump organ behind him along with an Aztec statue for good measure, changed gears at this point. Never one to set back on his laurels, the prolific Young launched into new material that will likely appear on his forthcoming Lanois produced studio album. Kicking off the 1st in a trio of new songs was a funeral dirge entitled “You Never Call,” a Young tribute to Larry Johnson who died of heart attack in January. I spotted a line, “Ben now walks with you” which is likely a recent addition in light of Ben Keith’s passing this past weekend. Next up was another dark number entitled “Peaceful Valley,” a song about the settling of the old west and its destruction followed by “Love and War,” which featured Young ruminating on 2 of his favorite themes. Neil went back to familiar territory with his next selection, donning his Les Paul electric guitar, Ol’ Blacky, to served up a crungy, spartan version of his 1969 “Everybody Knows This is Nowhere” classic “Down by the River,” followed by a “sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll” themed autobiographical original entitled “Hitchhiker.” The crowd soared to life as Young switched over to a white Gretsch and thundered into the signature opening riffs of his hit 1969 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young protest song,”Ohio,” which had the audience singing along. Moving to the piano, Neil then finally broke his silence, and provided a short introduction to his next original about parenthood entitled “Leia,” "This one is for all the little people who aren't here tonight, because they're too little…Dad said maybe next year.” Young then moved to the pump organ and served up a reverent hymn-like version of the dream-like “After the Gold Rush” title track, amending the lyrics from the “the 1970’s” to “the 21st century,” followed by yet another “Gold Rush” chestnut, “I Believe in You,” played on grand piano. Picking up pace for the finale, Neil donned “Ol’ Blacky” once again, and fired off yet another original entitled “Rumblin’ followed by 2 surefire crowd pleasers, the epic “Cortez the Killer” from 1975’s Zuma and a chunky version of his 1969 hit “Cinnamon Girl” which had the crowd on it’s feet, screaming for a well deserved encore. Neil wrapped the night with his 1972 Harvest album hit “Old Man” which he dedicated to the memory Ben Keith, followed by a final original number on electric entitled “Walk with Me.” What? No "Rockin' in the Free World"? No “Heart of Gold?” Hel played them last time around. Maybe next time. Neil does what he pleases. But judging by the crowd reaction, Winnipeg will continue to follow Neil Young regardless of where his muse might take him. Come again soon Neil!
