Strangely, you listed two of the best concerts I've been to. Which year did you see Young?
It was the Greendale tour which was 2003 I think. Second set started with an epic intro to Like A Hurricane...I remember seeing a keyboard being lowered from the roof for a perfectly timed solo.
I saw that tour back in Toronto. Absolutely amazing. Did he do the whole stage show behind him during Greendale out here too?
Yeah. First set was Greendale, and very amateur theatre night! It was great. Second set was 2½ hours of back catalogue.
I think he started the 2nd set with Rockin in the Free world and the entire arena went absolutely off. Good change of pace from an album that probably no one listened to.
Almost home town show in Toronto would have been epic
Indeed a very special concert. I think he played some covers from Canadian bands that no one expected.
The audience was all over the place too. Me and my mates (early 20s), people in their 40-60s. Probably the most diverse crowd I've ever seen. There were two couples in their 50s sitting near us, getting absolutely wrecked off the weed fumes. Kind of funny to see.
