Neil Young

In 2013, when Neil Young performed 'Heart of Gold' live at the Perth Arena, he was in the midst of a prolific period with his album 'Psychedelic Pill' fresh in the spotlight, released in 2012. This album, which he created in collaboration with Crazy Horse, marked a return to his electric sound and was notable for its long tracks and rich textures, a reflection of his evolving artistry. Interestingly, 'Heart of Gold,' a classic from his 1970 album 'After the Gold Rush,' showcases how Young’s music continues to resonate deeply across generations. His live sets often blend old favorites with newer works, and during this concert, he embraced that mix beautifully. The iconic imagery of his folk-rock roots remains alive in his performance, illustrating how he connects with audiences on an emotional level, making each show a unique journey.
