In any case, the setlists from this current tour are looking sublime. If Neil was doing requests, I'd be yelling out for Cowgirl, but a set like this would satisfy me every time. Roll on Glastonbury.

I would love to see Neil do 'All Along the Watchtower' please play that at Nottingham Neil! After seeing Neil at Manchester Apollo last year I do not think anything will top that. A small, intimate venue which suited the acoustic set and then the noise was immense when the electric band came out. Neil did nearly 25 songs that night. Although this set would have me completely loaded. Please Neil do a similar structured show at Nottingham to what you did in Berlin. Although do something obscure, 'piece of crap', 'bandit', 'sleeps with angels', 'Mideast Vacation', 'Homegrown','60 to 0' or 'crime in the city'! Surprise Us!

Down By The River absolute highlights. Only thing was he didn't talk to the crowd.Not one word! Is this usual?

With Chrissie Hynde on the bill at Hyde Park I reckon she'll join Neil on stage for a couple of songs - a la Road Rock - All Along The Watchtower and ......
At 6/17/2009 07:31:00 PM, luckypaul said...: ... and as for Neil not saying anything, yep that's not unusual especially at festivals and big arena gigs. . . always good to here some thoughts expressed though. . . at Hammersmith last year he explained how 'Homegrown' could be about weed or maybe vegetables or maybe biofuel. . . and he introduced 'Spirit Road' with the words 'This ones really heartfelt' at the Hop Farm (before adding 'Well, they all are really!')

. . . and I've got a few bootleg recordings with some rather naff comments too but I won't repeat them ........

If anyone else was at the show, could you tell me who the opening German act was? I wouldnt mind picking up one of their CD's but didnt catch the name of that band.

thanks,

It was my first show and it was a bit louder and heavier than I had expected, but it was great, indeed. I was missing like a hurricane and old man, but the other harvest-album songs and his incredible version of pocahontas made me really glad.

I don't think it was the last time I was him.

The German suppot act was Wolfgang Michels.

that might be pertinent to something you might wanna talk about.That way we're not breakin in to continuity of a current subject or Neil event? I'm not tellin' ya how to suck eggs or anyhing but I just wanna appease your comments policy.

Just a question Thrash, What is it when you get a prompt when trying to go on to the site saying,"temporarily unavailable because of band width limitations",..that hasn't anything to do with my increasing 54 yr old girth has it.?

I bought my ticket the very hour before the show,and it was great.
He didn't speak to the crowd, and looked a bit anger (he exploded his stringd on the second song -what a cover of "day in the life"!!).
I never saw him before, his soli sounded allmost like the ones on "Weld" -such a great moment when he sang "down by the river!
Go on Neil, the french people travelling in Berlin will allways be here for you !
