Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live Performance of Cinnamon Girl in Seattle
Before the live recording at Seattle's Key Arena in 2011, Neil Young had just released 'Le Noise', an album produced by the renowned Daniel Lanois. This album marked a significant shift for Young, as it featured a more stripped-down sound that emphasized his raw vocal style and guitar work. Interestingly, 'Le Noise' was nominated for a Grammy, showcasing Young’s relentless creativity even after decades in the business. The Seattle concert featured the iconic 'Cinnamon Girl', one of his most beloved tracks. Young's performance with Crazy Horse not only highlighted his enduring partnership with the band but also his unwavering commitment to social and environmental issues, which often inspire his music. It was a vibrant reminder of how his live shows draw on both nostalgia and relevance, making each performance a unique experience for fans.
