another dude (Steve) saw him saturday @ pnc (pa?)
NEIL at P.N.C
This was a full band set throughout, and a family affair.
Hell, they coulda been just playing up at the barn on a Saturday
night for the locals...everyone was spot on where they needed to be...
Spooner Oldham - piano
Ben Keith - lap steel
Duck Dunn - bass
Jim Keltner - drums,
Pegi Young & Neil's sister (missed name)
on harmonies > yeAH! His sister especially > smoother Janis
9:20 start (the black Les Paul)
MOTORCYLE MAMA (straight into the blues laydown)
POWDERFINGER (yes, Neil's solo, yes)
EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE (they were dancing in New Jersey)
I BELIEVE IN YOU (weird standing next to my ex-; beautiful rendition)
UNKNOWN LEGEND ('everyone' in audience singin' along > gorgeous)
HOMEGROWN (went back up to the blanket, and said, OK i'm ready for more)
9:50 (switch to acoustic)
BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD AGAIN (from new album)
RAZOR LOVE (from new album)
both renditions brought them more to life for me...
DADDY WENT WALKING (from new album)...at first I thought it was
the song about his old dog King...same diff. perhaps...up til
the intro to this song, Neil had kept his banter interaction with
the crowd to a straight "how you doing out there?" Prior to this he
said something to effect of "I haven't played this state in 30 years?"
huh? "Well I'm from Canada." to which a largish fellow standing next
to me bellowed "Yeah I know that dump..just keep playing!" A bit more
banter which I couldn't hear..."Canada" comes through again to which the
largish fellow bellowed again "Yeah, so is William Shatner..just keep
playing!" ...
PEACE OF MIND
10:13 (switch to hollow body electric)
WALK ON (some get strong, some get strange indeed...extended ending...
always wanted this song to be longer than 2:40)
then, more banter I couldn't hear out there in the lawn..sand actually
where we were..
WINTERLONG
NEW SONG? (couldn't place it, nice long unfolding melody..nice)
WORDS (...damn! in full! great breakdown/solo .. yup)
10:40 (back to acoustic)
HARVEST MOON
10:46 (back to black Les Paul)
band intro..
WORLD ON A STRING (!!!)
10:51 (.. piano ..)
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (!!!)
END at 11:00
11:03 encore (back to bLP, natch..)
COWGIRL IN THE SAND (well, ahlll be...)
END at 11:16
11:19 encore (acoustic+harp)
MELLOW MY MIND which i watched from the Special Needs Lawn Access
on the side there...
WHOLE INDEED!!
had front row for neil there once and he tried to flip me his pick (like you do with a bottle cap) and it just dribbled and he just made a strange face and looked away...
