Where and when did you see him?

It was in Leeds last year. If I remember correctly, he came on at 8pm and played nonstop until past 11:30pm, absolutely incredible. He did about an hour acoustically on his own, then was joined by his band for the rest and played a much rockier set for the rest. It was a day that Trump had announced something about his bid for the presidency, can’t remember what, but in response Neil “dedicated” Rocking in the Free World to him by saying “fuch you Donald Trump” at the start, biggest cheer of the night!

 

We were stood near the front and were absolutely knackered by the end, while he was still jumping around on stage. We’re in our mid 20’s, him in his early 70’s, but he had so much energy it was unreal. 

 

If you ever get the chance to see him live, take it regardless of the cost. He’s not going to be around forever, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget.

I've seen him live a couple of times during the '82 tour with Crazy Horse and Nils Lofgren and had a similar experience - three and a half hours straight with a half-hour encore.

 

It cost about a tenner then, iirc. Sigh.

Harvest is one of the most beautiful albums ever. I know a lot of people love him for his guitar work and influence on grunge but he'll always be a hippy folky to me. 

 

Ledge. 

 

Have you listened to his Unplugged album (part of the MTV acoustic series)?

 

That's pretty mellow too.

They were a few pretty good performances from what I remember - Clapton, Oasis, REM, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Nirvana are all stand out memories.
