Neil Young & Crazy Horse Live Performance at Civic Center Arena, St. Paul, Minnesota

Venue: Civic Center Arena Location: St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Date: October 15, 1978

In October 1978, Neil Young was in the thick of his incredible journey, performing live with his legendary backing band, Crazy Horse, at the Civic Center Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota. This performance came shortly after the release of his album 'Comes a Time,' which dropped just a few weeks earlier, in September 1978. 'Comes a Time' was notable for its more melodic and folk-centered sound, a shift from the raw intensity found in some of his earlier work. Interestingly, this live recording showcases not just Young's exceptional guitar work and poignant lyrics, but also reflects a period when he was embracing a more accessible style while still packing emotional depth. Fans often remember this concert for the passionate connections it forged, as well as for Young's signature compositions that resonated deeply amid the cultural shifts of the late '70s.
