Neil Young

In March 2013, Neil Young & Crazy Horse delivered a powerful performance of 'Cortez the Killer' at The Plenary in Melbourne. Just before this concert, Young released the album 'Psychedelic Pill' in late 2012, which showcased his signature rock and folk-punk style, blending intricate guitar work with deep, reflective lyrics. Notably, 'Psychedelic Pill' was a collaborative effort with Crazy Horse, marking a triumphant reunion for the band. This live recording not only captures the raw energy of their performance but also highlights Young’s enduring commitment to exploring contemporary themes through his music. It's worth noting that 'Cortez the Killer' remains a fan favorite, often resonating deeply due to its historical context and emotional weight. Young's ability to intertwine personal reflection with broader societal issues elevates the live experience to something truly memorable.
