Yup. You read it right. Nope, there's no punchline.

And everyone I have talked to that has been to one of his shows say it's up there with one of the best events they have ever attended. An utterly fantastic show. I would if I had an opportunity. If memory serves, last time he was here it was sold out instantly and rather spendy. Enjoy. Bum Bum Bum! |

I saw him at the Summerfest Amphitheater in Milwaukee in 1987. IIRC, it was a free ticket as well. Also IIRC, it was a much better show than I had anticipated.  |

I saw him about 15-20 years ago. I remember it being a good show, but it doesn't really stand out in my mind.

As far as I'm concerned, he fully rehabilitated himself on The Last Waltz. I mean, that's when I finally 'got' him, when it dawned on me that every generation needs a balladeer and he was our best. good on you |

Echo what Stroh said. One of my dearest headbanger friends told me it was the best show he's ever been to. Look forward to the feedback.

Neil has a ton of hits, some he sung himself, and a lot others have made hits with. My all time fave. I Am I saidDid you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being aloneAnd Hot August Nights 1, is still one of the best live albums evar! |

Kickass!
If you can't go see Metallica at the first of the month, and see this at the end, you're not a man!

I'll give the old man this- he puts on a good show. He lost me, though, at "we have a new album and would like to play some songs from it."
