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...

While I'm on a rant here....

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!

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

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!!

[snagglepuss120]

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.

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!?!".

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!
