Neil Young in Winnipeg
10/17/2008 at 12:33 AM
Did anyone go to the Neil Young concert in Winnipeg? If so, how was it?
I went, I loved it, it's easily one of the biggest crowd favourite concerts i've ever seen in that venue, the only concert I could compare it to is to when Tom Cochrane and Neil's bros Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings opened up the MTS Centre a few years back.
He played all of the hits, plus a few gems, including "Back to the Country". I was a bit disappointed though, I was hoping he would take a song or two from hims Cypress River, MB influenced album "Prairie Wind". The song "Far from Home" track from the some is one of my alltime favourite songs, even if I want to get out of Westman, it always reminds me that I will always be a Westman kid, same thing for Neil Young, that's where his family and his heart are from, and make him who he is. I even heard "Far from Home" at a Zellers in Quebec City a few years back, that was really weird, a sign of home in a "foreign land"
