Neil Young—one of the most influential rock musicians of all time and the granddaddy of grunge—returns to Seattle for a two-night stand with California country rockers Promise of the Real backing him. If you’re mainly into Neil and Crazy Horse’s 1960s and ’70s masterpieces (Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush, On the Beach, Tonight’s the Night, Zuma, Rust Never Sleeps), you may feel slighted, as reviews of Young’s performances with POTR reveal an emphasis on more recent material—although they still do “Ohio,” CSN&Y fans. Of course, Neil does whatever the hell he wants, but with a catalog as vast as his, it’s inevitable he and his younger cohorts—including Willie Nelson’s son, Lukas—will play your favorite slice of decades-old freedom rock.
