Neil Young
NEIL YOUNG – Touch The Night Live Performance at The Catalyst, Santa Cruz
In 1983, Neil Young was riding a wave of creativity and experimentation. Just before the live recording of 'Touch The Night' at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, he had released the album 'Everybody's Rockin'' earlier that year. This album took a sharp turn into a rockabilly style, showcasing Young's penchant for surprising his audience. Interestingly, the live performance captured in this video reveals Young's electric energy alongside Crazy Horse as they merge classic rock sounds with raw, improvisational flair. Known for his unpredictability, this concert is a testament to his ability to engage with fans on a deeply emotional level, often blurring the lines between setlists and spontaneity. It's fascinating to watch how he invited fans on a journey where nostalgia meets innovation during a pivotal era in his career.
