[...] On sale Friday at 10AM. Solo, electric and acoustic. Neil’s first time back at Massey since Fall 2007. Expensive as hell but quite possibly/probably worth it. And that second show is on my birthday, [...]

Its hard for my heart to say,in that we believe our hearts are sacred learning vessels.Music came along years ago,caught our attention or just kept playing if we deserted it out of …deppression.i use to be so sensitive scared deppressed,when i walked away from a neil young concert once a very long time ago.i could hear a man needs a maid over my shoulder as i made myself through mostly ignorant stoned people to get out.Cold wind as I found my car,barely making it.crying so hard..i had this heartbroken complexion that i and maybe a few others really heard neils music.I was upset so many dead beats filled his audience,druggies,farmers hawking snot drinking beer.A friend had told me the better way to watch Neil Young play was indoors in a nicer setting.I was hoping it wasn t a lie….

I went to the two Denver shows. Hearing "Ambulance Blues" and "Motion Pictures" has made me list On the Beach as my favorite album over Tonight’s the Night, which is hard to do considering the personal history I’ve had with that album. How did you like "Mellow My Mind" on the banjo? It’s been my favorite for a long time and I am learning the banjo, so being surprised with that just made me love the song even more.

First night he closed with "Like A Hurricane" and the second night it was "Tonight’s the Night." Hard to say which closer was better…

Saw the Tuesday night Massey Hall show and it was fantastic! We had floor seats for my wife and kids who wanted to see this long time musical idle of mine. Talked to Larry Craig between sets and got one of Neil’s Herco picks. What a night!

I can only hope. That first show back at Massey Hall will be a new must in any Neil bootleg collection. I certainly would love to experience those sounds and that emotion again.

I have been one of Neil’s faithful fans since 1968. I have seen him 26 times. I originally had front row seats for his birthday show in Chicago but sold them due to my wifes failing health. I then purchased 2 second row seats for the show in Massey Hall on the 27th. I sold the Massey Hall Tickets when my wife was admitted to the critical care ward at Strong Memorial in Rochester N.Y.. My wife is stable again and home waiting for a liver transplant. I really wanted to see Neil return to Massey Hall but the trip across the border would have been pushing the envelope for my wife. I have 2 front row seats for the 11/30/07 show at Shea’s in Buffalo. Shea’s is only 45 miles and it looks like my wife will be able to go with me. The set list doesn’t much matter, just being there is total euphoria for me. I am really looking forward to seeing him do " No Hidden Path". I wish Tonight was The Night, but I guess I can wait another 60 hours until Friday.

nope, besides not being able to find/afford another ticket, I wouldn’t want to get into the "was this show better or that one" game – the one I saw was fantastic, happy to leave it at that.

I have seen some amazing shows this year (Spiritualized, just over a week ago, in fact), but Neil runs away with it, easily. This is my fifth time seeing him, until tonight’s sixth, and he is in the best form I have seen. Neil has lost nothing and seems to be adding texture and depth to his playing and vocal delivery. He seems to be getting younger. Neil is standing tall, representing his generation unlike anyone else still out there playing (or not). He means every single song. I thank God for Neil’s passion, because he is mine. Ambulance Blues was the finest live performance of a song I have ever seen. Hands down. I can’t say enough about this show, and I can’t wait to see it all over again. Wow. Simply stunning.
