Neil Young

In the late '70s, Neil Young was riding a wave of creativity and exploration, and the live recording from The Boarding House in San Francisco on May 27, 1978, is a perfect snapshot of that period. Just before this show, he had released the album 'Comes a Time' in 1978, which showcased his softer, more introspective side with tracks that resonate deeply, like 'Human Highway.' During the live performance of 'Shots,' fans got an intimate experience as Young played acoustic, stripping back his sound to reveal raw emotion. Notably, this venue was known for its cozy atmosphere, allowing him to connect with his audience in a personal way, an aspect Young often cherishes in live settings. This period also reflected his ongoing evolution as he transitioned from rock to a more folk-inspired sound, cementing his role as a versatile and enduring figure in music.
