Been to see Neil Young in concert since the early seventies in all his different line ups and musical rides .I was here that night and it was the first time i have seen him [or for anybody else in my major concert attendance ] get a standing ovation when he appeared on stage .Great man great tunes and well deserved
Whats the difference between Edinburgh and Glasgow, whats the difference between England and Scotland - you both castles built out of fear - fear - and yet you are so proud.
If it was to be followed, that Mr Youngs request was no cameras etc etc, we would not all be here moaning about who said what. it was a great gig. too many comments/requests from crowd and i think you'd all agree that its not a Karaoke bar that we just spent £72 to get into either. listen to the man. enjoy it while we still can...
I was there and I also saw him at the SECC a number of yers ago and beleive me the crowd and atmosphere in Glasgow was a lot better and I come from the east coast.
Yeh but this gig was so much better and ...you know what? it's nothing to do with east or west ....just get the love snaggle..........this was Neil at his very best and were we not lucky to be there? I WAS!!
Open letter to the two gosh**e "Neil Young Experts" sitting behind me - Gentlemen, I'm quite familiar with Mr Young's back catalogue, thank you, I don't need you telling me loudly what album a particular song is from WHILE THE MAN IS ACTUALLY SINGING IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. And a bit of advice, avoid cold drinks before gigs, get mummy to take you to the toilet beforehand and give up smoking - that way you can sit on your butts for more than 10 minutes at a time!
Ok, I seemed to have opened a can of worms with my opening comment. Apologies to the well behaved West Coasters, sorry for tarring with same brush. My gripe isn't with noisy crowds (cheering at the appropriate times is what gigs are all about!), my issue is with the tubes who roared moronic asides like "Wellcum-tae-Scoatlin-Neil!!" about a hundred times and that stupid women who, when NY stopped to take a drink, howled in her super lager and forty-B&H-a-day voice "Whit ur ye drinkin' Neily!?!".
why are you having a go at guys from glasgow. i would have thought that the amazing music from neil would have made any soul appreciate the peace of life. whay does it always have to be because of someone else . neil is about the world, peace and where we would all rather be. stop having a go and enjoy the music .after all thats what its about. stop f£$%in moaning .can we get it together?
At the end of the day he got a standing elevation with his bitchin' rendition of cinnamon girl for the encore. Probably the best gig I've ever experienced as a 19 year old lad(musically and soulfully). And as for the wedgies shouting 'go on yerself', that's just there way of getting up for the gig haha. Neil Young is a guy we'll never figure, keep on rockin in the free world!
I was front row, and I'd hardly say the crowd was disrespectful or unresponsive. Neil looked like he was enjoying the gig, hitting those high notes during 'old man' .
You sound like Groundskeeper Willie when he did a stand up routine on The Simpsons, a skit about golfers, e.g. "Have you noticed how in Edinburgh, they putt like....this- and in Glascow (sic) they putt like....this."
I was at that gig, and I have neber seen a more reserved crowd, it reminded me of when I played in bands, in Glasgow, they really let their hair down, but in Edinburgh, they sat and stared
I'm a so-called weegie, I respected the silence - not all the people who shouted ot were weegies(a derogatory term) What about the requests from Neil not to use video cameras? Is this not disrespecting his wishes?
Disrespecting his wishes? It's the only way fans can get to see him, I was lucky enough to get tickets for Paris but with him doing small gigs they are intimate but not enough tickets. You could get tickets if you want to get ripped off by the ticket agency scumbags who prevent real fans from paying a decent amount for a ticket. Suppose there are plenty of videos and covers on Youtube to keep us going.
It was requested three times on the night that people not "disrespect Neil's wishes by filming with cameras or mobile phones, as it intereferes with the sound system."
Good video, I was at the gig - is there anyway you can edit out the catcalls from the moronic weedgies who tried their hardest to ruin it for everyone else on the night? "Gaun yirsel Neil!!!" and so forth....

I meant loud as in constantly talking over themselves when Neil was playing acoustic and being told to shut up. I wasn't the only p*ssed off.
There is drunk and having a good time at a concert and drunk and making an arse of yourself.

Thanks for posting. I was hoping someone was going to post a song or two from the Edinburgh gig.
Some of the behaviour was grim. A bunch in front of us were v drunk and loud during the acoustic set. One guy even fell asleep near the end!!
And yes I'm afraid they were from the West.

Let's not get "coast-ist" here - let's call them "morons", there were plenty of people from the West who were respectful.
I totally agree, although the audience was very quiet compared to Copenhagen.

Edinburgh audiences are noted for their lack of response at gigs, just as Glasgow audiences are noted for their enthusiasm at gigs.
