Neil Young

In the '80s, Neil Young was on quite the artistic rollercoaster. By the time he performed 'Cortez The Killer' live at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati on October 21, 1986, he had just released 'Landing on Water,' an album that showcased his experimentation with technology and a more synthesized sound. This was quite the departure from his earlier folk-rock roots but reflected his willingness to evolve and adapt. Interestingly, at this point in his career, Young was facing a mix of critical reception; some fans were unsure of his new direction, while others were excited about his boundary-pushing creativity in music. Yet, despite the mixed reviews, his live performances, like this one, still radiated his intense passion and lyrical depth that fans adored. That's the magic of Neil Young—life on stage can ignite even the most questioning heart.
