Neil Young
Neil Young Live in Rome Performing at Ippodromo Le Capannelle
In September 1982, Neil Young delivered a riveting performance at Ippodromo delle Capannelle in Rome, showcasing his unique blend of rock and folk. Prior to this live recording, Young had released 'Trans,' an album that boldly embraced the use of synthesizers— a significant departure from his traditional sound. 'Trans' marked a pivotal moment in his career, reflecting his desire to experiment and communicate in new ways, particularly inspired by the challenges of his son Ben's disability. At this concert, Neil was backed by guitarist Nils Lofgren, enhancing the already dynamic atmosphere. This live show is more than just a concert; it's a snapshot of an artist not afraid to challenge norms while still delivering heartfelt music to his audience.
