Neil Young

In September 1982, Neil Young performed 'Like An Inca' with his Trans Band at the stunning Arena di Verona in Italy. At this point in his career, Young was in a unique phase, having released the experimental album 'Trans' just earlier that year. This album marked a significant shift in his sound, incorporating synths and vocoders, a departure from his traditional rock roots. It’s fascinating to note that 'Trans' was inspired by Young's desire to connect with his hearing-impaired son, making it deeply personal. During this live performance, the avant-garde energy of his new direction was palpable, showcasing his willingness to push boundaries and reinvent himself. Fans at the arena were treated to a mix of the familiar and the unexpected, as Young's blending of genres always keeps listeners on their toes.
