Neil Young Set Lists For All of His Gigs.Going Back

[Gards]

I see that Neil has become a hot topic over night whilst I have been sleeping off my saturday Night excess.
I am sure a Lot of people will be interested to look at a sight called Sugar Mountain. www.sugarmtn.org It has on it the set lists for all of his gigs going back over many years.
It is fantastic and is a good test of how good your memory is and also of whether you imagined that he may have played a certain song at that gig that you and your mate travelled over night to get to 25 years ago.

Cheers

Hey Now and Thank You Gards!!! What a beautiful database...... I was lucky enough to have caught Neil twice in 1991 (once with Crazy Horse, once with CSNY) I was 20 years old at the time, attending University of Utah and seeing the Grateful Dead every chance I got......

Its nice to remember that my musical horizons were also expanding exponentially during that time, and its great to revisit some fond memories.

Think I might get out a copy of Live Rust to listen to tonight, or maybe put on The Last Waltz...... (might also have to stop by the "beverage" store here in a little while). Have a great weekend, Matthew

Glad you enjoyed it.I think that it realy is a fantastic site,brings back some great memories for me.Years ago in 85 we worked at an old barn in town here called Festival Hall,where Neil played on his own, then with the International Harvesters and after that Crazy Horse.He sold out 5 nights in a row and saved the Frontier Touring Company from going broke,ive allways remembered how hot it was at that time of year, and that ive rated them as some of the best gigs ive seen.and now that ive been able to check what was played it only reafirms my opinion.
Yor mention of of the Uni of Utah also reminded me of the coldest day of my life,I think it was the 1st of feb I had just arrived from the middle of the OZ summer and my first day at work in Salt Lake was at Rice Eccles Stadium and it was minus 26 degrees F, I thought I was going to die when the wind was swirling around the Stadium.
I think you are right about playing Live Rust I will put that on now.

Gards, good to hear from you again---Odd how things come full circle; you in Salt Lake, my family living in Australia for 3 years.....

Back to Neil; one of the finest musical nights of my life was when I was watching Bob Dylan finish up a week in New York City at the Roseland Ballroom (Oct. 1994),-where the opener was an unknown little stunner named Cheryl Crow- and for the encores Dylan brought out Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen for a couple tunes....

For a kid from Utah, in the "City" for one of my first times, it was a night that I will remember forever......

Hope to see you at Fest, Matthew

...i think they left off that burp neil popped out during the 1989 tour of the midwest. there may have been a sneeze omitted too during a san francisco multi-night stand, not yet confirmed. it was left unreleased, however.

This is a great list. I went right to the 1996 link to see if the Old Princeton Landing gigs were listed and sure enough, there they were--although I don't remember that many of them.

The Landing is a dive bar on the coast, 25 miles south of San Francisco (which the Potters probably remember from their Montara days). Neil Young lives on a ranch in the mountains above the coast--maybe 20 miles from there. That year, he needed to rehearse his band for the Crazy Horse tour later in the year, and he chose the Princeton Landing as the place to do it. Word-of-mouth was the only way to hear about it. Attendance was restricted to 75 or a hundred lucky souls a night. Imagine Neil in that setting with the full band, blowing the doors off the place! Down By the River still echoes in my head. Just a fantastic couple of nights. Recently I came across a bootleg CD of the event and realized that the show was just as good as I remember.

Thanks for the memory!

That sounds like a great gig to see with only a small amount of people around,sometimes you get lucky.
A friend of mine somehow ended up at Neils ranch whilst working in the States with Gillian Welch a couple of years ago,and he was lucky to end up in the house and witnessed Neil and Brian Wilson doodling around on the Piano.That would have been interesting.
