Neil Young

In 1996, when Neil Young delivered his powerful performance of 'Big Time' at the Phoenix Festival, he was riding high on the wave of his album 'Broken Arrow,' released just the year prior. This album showcased Young's signature blend of rock and folk while exploring themes of love and loss, all wrapped in his trademark raw sound. The live show, steeped in energy and passion, came during a period when Young was embracing a more electric style, particularly with his iconic band Crazy Horse. Interestingly, this performance was part of the UK festival circuit, a significant venue for artists to connect with audiences in a high-energy setting. Young’s ability to captivate his audience, even amid chaotic festival vibes, underscores his unique charisma and lasting impact on rock music. It's no wonder that he encouraged concert-goers to turn it up loud—his music truly shines at full volume!
