Neil Young Summer Tour
Saw the Wallingford show. New songs are, in my opinion, good.

I have more Neil t-shirts than Carter has liver pills. I agree that Neil ticket prices are insane. However, I will fork it over every time I get a chance to see him. I do wince when I hit the submit button, but the 48 hour glow I experience in the wake of a Shakey show eases the pain.ScottZeagle wrote:I was not trying to compare them as "apples to apples" - I was simply saying that I choose to spend my money on Lucero shows instead of paying the ultra-high Neil Young ticket prices....and let's not even talk about $35 t-shirts!!!!el caballo loco wrote:I like Lucero and was fortunate to catch them Friday evening opening for DBT. I have no problem with supporting an act that's out there doing what they'd die for, believing till there's no turning back. However, to compare them to Neil Young is laughable on many levels.

Fork in the Road is certainly a clunker. While he has laid several eggs along the way, he is a fucking force live. His entire 70's output alone gives him a lifetime free pass on such misses as Fork in the Road, Are You Passionate, Landing on Water, Everybody's Rocking, and Trans. I like Lucero and was fortunate to catch them Friday evening opening for DBT.

Sorry my English was not so clear to you half. It's a good thing I have dcarter on retainer as a translator. And half... I can't believe that you would find me to be sarcastic.

I don't disagree in regards to Fork in the Road (incidentally I was at that MSG show as well and Neil seemed like he was joking to me), but it's really nothing new. Much of Neil's material has been questionable since at least 1980, and he's always commanded a high ticket price (though I wasn't around I've read of complaints about CSNY's prices on their 1970 tour). Live, he's always great and there's always a chance the new music is gonna be great (like Chrome Dreams II, which I thought overall was fantastic).JWB56 wrote:My beef is that creatively the well seems to have dried up. I thought his last CD, with all those songs about his car, really sucked. The last time I saw him at the Garden and he premiered a few of those bombs, there was no reaction from the crowd, Neil even asked them to clap even if they didn't like them. I thought he was joking. Cough up the bucks... Cough up the bucks.
It doesn't look like I'll be seeing this tour (a first for me since my first show on the Silver and Gold solo tour) cause I'm flat broke but I would if I could.

when you put it that way yes. there were too many unknown variables plus the chance of sarcasm.dcarter wrote:Unless el caballo's command of English is poor, he is saying that Neil deserves 10 times the ticket price of Lucero due to his being 10 times more talented than Lucero. No disrespect but it's quite clear.half-n-half wrote:i don't understand thisel caballo loco wrote:The discrepancy in ticket prices between Neil and Lucero is completely justified when you look at it from a talent perspective.
thank you.
