    The sound in Carnegie Hall was pristine and Neil's voice was amazing. Great show.

    Quick thoughts...

    1. Great show
    2. Some people in the crowd couldn't take the repeated hints by Neil to STFU.
    3. Patti Smith sat 2 rows in front of me. She gave Neil a standing ovation after Ohio
    4. Stage was very dark, no way they were filming anything.

    Has Neil played that or Ohio in a solo context often? They seemed out of place but I don't follow his setlists closely, maybe he does them all the time.

    I've seen him play Ohio solo.
    I love the Phil Ochs song Changes.

    Unfortunately, I haven't gone to a Neil solo show in quite some time.
    Too many people think it's a sing along.

    Not a big favorite of mine--and the performance was super-intense and impressive.

    I've had that experience plenty of times. Tonight there were shout-outs and requests between tunes but pretty much perfect silence during. The only exception was "Ohio," in which the crowd started clapping along and threw off his time. He stopped and pretty humorously got everyone to be quiet. Handled it a lot better than at certain times in the past.

    I have some '89 boots where he does "Someday" on solo piano and it's just breathtaking. Then he went berserk with the version on Freedom by adding The Bluenotes and a lot of ridiculous sound effects. It slaughtered the song.

    So tonight, I was in heaven when he dusted it off (first time since '89?) and placed it in a set that made a concept out of his 1970-'72 period and his '70 show at CH. The biggest surprise of the night.

    And as he was snatching it back from Freedom and getting it down to soulful basics, he mimicked (self-mockingly, I thought) the goofy background grunts ("workin' on that great Alaska pipeline…") that are on the Freedom version. Beautiful Neil moment.

    "Ohio" has gotten the solo acoustic treatment waaaaayyyy more than "Southern Man." While tonight's list was basically acoustic performances of acoustic-based songs, it's very common for him to take "electric' material and do it acoustically. What is not at all common is for him to do "Southern Man" solo acoustic…maybe a few one-offs over the years?

    Maybe these shows will receive an "Archive" release fifty years from now ;)

    Sounds pretty much the same as when he was touring for Harvest Moon. Good show, but he's much better with Crazy Horse. That being said. I can't think of anyone as good solo as Neil. He generates a lot of sound for a one man show.

    I need to make a playlist with various NYA performance series solo versions!
