Neil Young

In late 1997, Neil Young was riding high on the creative wave following the release of his album "Harvest Moon"—a heartfelt collection that was both a continuation and a reflection on his earlier work. This live recording at the Shoreline Amphitheatre showcases his collaboration with Crazy Horse, a partnership known for its raw energy and sonic explorations. During this period, Young was also embracing a more mature sound, blending introspective lyrics with a return to the classic rock vibe that defined his earlier days. It's fascinating to think that just a year prior, he was awarded the inaugural Impact Award from the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, highlighting his lasting influence. As he performed tracks like "From Hank to Hendrix" and "Distant Camera," one can feel the palpable connection with the audience—a testament to his enduring legacy and ability to evoke emotion through music.
