'Old man look at my life.. I'm alot like you were...'


This past weekend, Lethbridge had the privilege to have Neil Young in concert at the Lethbridge Enmax Centre. I
was pleased at the attendance, and as far as I could tell, the whole crowd was very appreciative of Neil. Neil isn't one to really interact with the audience. I think there may have been some disappointed people who wanted to know of the background to some of his songs. At least he introduced the band, one of the members being his wife.
It was a very enthusiastic crowd of about 5500 people. Some were pretty high on 'wacky tabacky'.. At the security meeting they told us that Neil gets high on his music and sometimes he just keeps playing. His road manager said that when he gets off stage, he is totally zoned out and in another world. He has quite the repetoire, Neil has. He started playing at about 8:50 and he played till just past 11. It was a night to remember. I am glad that some of these 'legends' come to the smaller venues. I am sure that they can appreciate the enthusiasm of the crowds and it is a tad more intimate.
