Neil Young Concert in Atlanta Civic Center Featuring The Shocking Pinks

Venue: Atlanta Civic Center Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States Date: September 27, 1983

On September 27, 1983, Neil Young took the stage at the Atlanta Civic Center with his band, The Shocking Pinks, showcasing a unique chapter in his career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of his album "Everybody's Rockin'"—a project marked by its nostalgic rockabilly flavor. Interestingly, this album diverged from Young's usual folk-rock sound, reflecting his knack for experimentation. The mid-80s was a fascinating time for Neil, characterized by a blend of commercial ambition and artistic exploration. He was navigating a music industry in flux, committed to pushing boundaries despite mixed critical reception. This concert not only captures the raw energy of Young's live performances but also encapsulates a pivotal moment where he was redefining his musical identity, determined to remain unpredictable to his fans.
