NEIL YOUNG
Hollywood 2014 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, CA; March 29, 2014. Very good audience recording.
Randy Lewis at latimes.com:
It wasn’t a big leap to wonder during Saturday’s opening night of Neil Young’s four-night run of solo acoustic concerts in Hollywood whether Jesus, if he returned to address a modern-day audience, would have to contend with a steady stream of shouts from the back for “Sermon on the Mount!” “Water into wine!” and “Free Bird!” Young fielded a similar barrage of requests (”Cinnamon Girl!” “Down By the River!”) and comments (”You’re the man!”) from the sold-out crowd at the Dolby Theatre good-naturedly. At one point he tacitly acknowledged the tone of almost spiritual pilgrimage in the air by shaking the water out of a harmonica onto folks sitting in the first few rows, a rock ’n’ roll priest anointing his flock. He even shifted into request mode himself after another outburst from fans, mock shouting “The Beatles!” “The Rolling Stoooooones!” “Free Bird!”
For Young, too, there seems to be a ritualistic aspect of his periodic return to the solo acoustic format of his live shows, alternating with high-decibel sessions with Crazy Horse or the various other settings he’s explored over what’s fast approaching a half-century career. It’s as if it reconnects him with the musical and spiritual foundation of his art, stripping the process back to its fundamental components of one person, one instrument and a muse.
Thanks to Falconidave (David Sell) for recording and sharing the show at Dime.
