Neil Young
Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Be The Rain Live at Air Canada Centre
In 2003, Neil Young was riding high on the wave of creativity that came with his album 'Greendale,' which he had released just prior to the live recording. The album, marked by its narrative storytelling and rich themes surrounding family and community, showcased Young's return to form after his earlier explorations with rock and electronic music. 'Be The Rain,' a standout track from 'Greendale,' was emblematic of this era, blending Young's signature folk-rock style with thought-provoking lyrics about societal issues. The live performance at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto not only served as a celebration of this album but also highlighted Young's enduring connection with his audience. Interestingly, this period also marked a renewed collaboration with Crazy Horse, a partnership that has spanned decades, bringing a gritty, authentic edge to his performances.
