Neil Young at Edmonton's Jube - Amazing!
by forza on 2010-07-27Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - EdmontonRating: 5 out of 5I was regretting my decision to buy such an expensive ticket but am now not looking back. I have seen him twice before in larger venues with a full band, but this time, it was worth every penny spent!
From the minute Neil came onto the stage, he 'held court'. It was hard to take your eyes off of him. With one person/one instrument, he amazed with his expertize. I have always been a fan and loved his songs, but never really fully understood what a fantastic musician he is. On his own is definitely the way to see him.
The only drawback was some of the new songs. Ideally, I would love to see him sit down with his acoustic and play all of his old stuff - there were so many songs on Friday night that I wished he had played. But, I guess it is only reasonable that he wants to promote the new stuff, too.
Thanks, Neil, for putting on such a great show in a smaller venue. It is what I've been hoping for for years!
