Paul McCartney was all Steve said he would be and more! Almost 3 1/2 hours of memorable melodies, riffs, grooves, harmonies, sing-a-longs, humour and showmanship. If Macca is in your area and you can get tickets I highly recommend experiencing his show!
Upcomming shows:
MUSE
VolBeat
Meshuggah
Soilwork
It looks like a very good year for live music for me.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse at Perth-Arena tonight...
ok, before i start...i am not biased towards artist i like, if they are crap, i say theyre crap(live or album wise)...
Neil & CH were on stage for two and a half hours,
they performed several tracks from their latest offering "psychadelic pill", delved back in the annuls of their back catalogue with tracks from "ragged glory","rust never sleeps" and "everybody knows this is nowhere", also included in the set was a blistering grungy version of Buffalo Springfield's "mr.soul", about halfway through the set CH departed for a short while while Neil put on harmonica and strapped on his acoustic guitar(which was formally owned by Hank Snr) for 'heart of gold', and acoustic 'twisted road'(from psychadelic pill) and a piano solo version of 'she's a singer", also from psychadelic pill... they also pulled out "roll another number" from Tonights The Night in rememberance of departed CH member Danny Whitten(who died of drug overdose back in the day)
not once during the show did Neil's vocals faulter or waiver in the slightest and his guitar playing/solos were sublime...for a ragged garage band Crazy Horse played as a tight unit throughout,following every jam Young made up or extended as his muse took over...
Neil Young may look like an old street bum or even like death warmed up but there is no denying his ability to play guitar or sing in tune and on key...justifying his place in the rock and roll hall of fame and as a living legend of contemporary music, this guy is still as relevant as he was forty years ago and i dare any young band/artist out there to do what he does on stage now,let alone at almost seventy years of age....
"long may you run" Neil and as we all know "its better to burn out than to fade away" because "rock and roll will never die!"
rating for the show......a well deserved 8.5/10

Wasnt too familiar with Crazy Horse..so didnt know what to expect. Neil did a brilliant job considering his age. His voice hasnt changed a bit, he still holds his notes and can bellow it out when he wants to. He was also still full of energy and really rocked that guitar of his. Nice treat was his Acoustic version of Heart of Gold..brilliant and so clear. Only complaint really..he didnt play Like A Hurricane..which is my favourite.

Forgot to mention the band Husky, who was the supporting band. They were good also, very talented and harmonious! Well worth buying their first album I think, and maybe even their 2nd once completed ;-)
