Neil Young

In 2013, when Neil Young performed 'Like a Hurricane' live at the Paléo Festival in Nyon, he was fresh off the release of his album 'Psychedelic Pill,' which had come out the previous year. This album, a collaboration with Crazy Horse, was notable for its expansive, improvisational tracks that showcased Young's signature guitar work and philosophical lyrics. During this period, Young was deeply engaged in blending themes of protest and nostalgia, reflecting both on modern society and his own storied career. The performance at the festival, set against a literal storm, emphasized the raw, emotive power of his music. Interestingly, Young’s live performances are renowned for their spontaneity and energy, creating a unique connection with the crowd that’s almost palpable, as evidenced by the exuberant atmosphere during this particular show.
