Neil Young: Awesome. Better than the World Cup

I tell you something, guys. The concert was incredible. Yesterday in Oakland.
Today i have a T-shirt that says: "They said acoustic, i said solo". And that was Neil in the Fox Theatre yesterday, solo with all his guitars (at least four. No banjo this time, sorry), a pump organ, two pianos (Do you remember Neil playing After the gold rush in the pump organ?) He played the old tunes (Helpless, After the..., Ohio, Cortez, the Killer -What a killer¡¡¡¡¡, Sugarmountain, Hey hey, my my (this was the first song he played in the Fox... ) But new songs too. So... what can i say. People (me too) got into the concert since the very first beginning. He played acoustic, yes, but when he took the electric guitar, he reminded me of the members of Crazy Horse (Molina, Sampedro, Talbot, you know guys, that garage´s band) he electrified the audience yesterday whit a fews notes only, not that kind of endless riffs and stuff he used to play with Crazy Horse.
That was great, of course.

You know, You tube is a kind of miracle. I saw this morning that somebody has uploaded in you tube one of the tunes of the first day. (he is gonna play three days and everything is "sold out").  Do u want to see it.

I post it for you. "Down by the river" and "Helpless" (i think)











Tomorrow more. I´ll go back to study now. See all of you.
