Neil Young Acoustic Performance of 'Shots' at The Boarding House San Francisco

Venue: Boarding House Location: San Francisco, California, United States Date: May 28, 1978

In May 1978, Neil Young was riding the wave of his prolific output, having recently released the album "Comes a Time" just a few months earlier in October 1977. This period marked a reflective phase for Young, embracing a more mellow and folk-influenced sound. It's fascinating to see how the live performances from this era, like the one at the Boarding House in San Francisco, showcase his raw acoustic talent. During this acoustic set, you can hear the stripped-down essence of his music, highlighting his poignant lyrics and emotive delivery. Young often imbued his performances with personal stories and political messages, making each song resonate deeply with the audience. This concert captures that spirit perfectly, illustrating why fans have always cherished his live shows.
