Post Description

The first time Young played Carnegie Hall was a two-night stand in late 1970, capping off an incredible year where he recorded Deja Vu with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as well as his solo album After the Gold Rush. "I was pretty jacked up [that night]," he said early on last night. "People started yelling out and doing all kinds of things. I said, 'Listen, I know what I'm doing here. I've been dying to get into this place. I planned it out. I know exactly what I'm going to play and nothing you're going to say is going to change my mind.' Then I was playing this Buffalo Springfield song 'Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing' and somebody yelled out from the audience and I stopped and said, 'Shit, I lost my concentration.' Then I left. There wasn't going to be an intermission, but there was. Tonight I planned on an intermission. I'm much more mellow now." 
It would be tough to be less mellow than Neil Young circa 1970, but there were no outbursts last night (though Carnegie Hall's incredible acoustics made every knucklehead's commentary perfectly audible to the entire auditorium). "You guys finished?" he asked calmly after a group of guys refused to stop demanding loudly that he play the extreme rarity "Don't Be Denied." "You paid real money to get in here, so you should be able to listen to each other. I hear a little voice, 'Be nice, be nice.' Thank you, sweetheart."
Much like his stellar 1999 solo acoustic tour, there was a chair in the center of the stage surrounded by about eight acoustic guitars and a banjo. There were also two pianos and a pump organ, and sometimes between songs Young would wander around, pick up a guitar, briefly contemplate using it, and then opt for another. He was also in a chatty mood, sharing stories behind many of the instruments, including the legendary guitar that once belonged to Hank Williams. 
But the night was largely devoted to classics from Young's commercial peak in the early Seventies. It's been years since he crammed this many hits into a set, playing over half the songs on Harvest ("Heart of Gold," "Are You Ready for the Country," "Old Man," "The Needle and the Damage Done," "A Man Needs A Maid" and "Harvest"), along with "Ohio," "After the Gold Rush," "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," "Comes a Time," "Long May You Run" and his first performance of "Southern Man" in nearly a decade.
