If Neil Young wanted to really surprise the world and rebuild himself, he would play a 25 song two hour set of concise, clean, sexy rock and roll and send people away with a smile on their face saying wow, I can't believe he played "Harvest" and "Helpless". Yeah, it would be cool. It isn't happening of course. Expect 12 songs in a 150 minutes so be sure to bring your pillow. If Neil goes on at ten I can give him an hour and be home asleep by midnight…
1. Love And Only Love – Off the follow up to Freedom and pretty fucking awesome as well. OK, we will assume this is gonna kill and move on – Grade: A
2. Powderfinger – And who doesn't love this, the lick is lovely. Let's hope he doesn't steamroll over it – Grade: A
3. Born In Ontario – Ogg the new one, he might dump it since he won't be playing in Canada (he was where I picked up this setlist). This is a jaunty and catchy song, maybe second best off the album – Grade: B+
4. Walk Like A Giant – And this is the best song off Psychedelic Pill, especially the whistling – Grade: A-
5. The Needle And The Damage Done – Hmmm, will he hit it and quit? Will he jam it up? – Grade: A
6. Twisted Road – Blah nostalgia – Grade: C
7. Ramada Inn – It could be worse, the riff sounds great but not for 16 minutes – Grade: C
8. Cinnamon Girl – I promise you, Neil will go berserk on this song, which should be played like s country rocking working man's dead track – Grade: A+
9. Cortez The Killer – You're thinking Zuma and I'm thinking Weld. I might try to stay around for it. The Weld version? – Grade: A
10. Mr. Soul – Works for me, wish he'd play it earlier – Grade: A+
11. Hey Hey My My – There is nothing much to say about this except I wish he'd bring Eddie Vedder out and do "Rockin' In The Freeworld" instead – Grade: A
12. Roll Another Number – Holy Hell it's Gram Parsons, or do i mean Conor Oberst! Wow, what a wonderful surprise – Grade: A
