Neil Young & Crazy Horse/October 11,2012/Chicago,IL

Another great Chicago show with my friend Ibrahim. Ten years before,we attended a superb concert by The Who in The Windy City. This time it was Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

Los Lobos was the opener,and they played well enough. The sound quality was poor in our seating area. I do recall them playing a cover of The Grateful Dead's "Bertha". Ibrahim suggested we move to a better spot for the main event. So we wandered to a balcony section which afforded us a dead center view of the stage. We stayed put,and no one gave us a problem.

Neil and the guys played like young men. They raged through classics and a number of new songs from the upcoming "Psychedelic Pill" album. There was plenty of feedback and stinging guitar solos. Neil also inserted a mellow acoustic set in the middle of the show. Crazy Horse's "Tonight's the Night" encore sent us out into the Chicago night.
