Neil Young

In August 2014, Neil Young was deep into his Alchemy Tour when he performed 'Barstool Blues' live in Lokeren, Belgium. Just before this, he had released the album 'A Letter Home' in April 2014, which was notable for its raw, stripped-down sound, recorded in a vintage recording booth. This period marked a time of exploration for Neil, as he embraced a more intimate approach to his music, often revisiting themes of nostalgia and authenticity. Interestingly, during this live performance, the dynamics of his partnership with Crazy Horse were evident—even with Poncho's guitar issues, the band's chemistry shone through, showcasing their ability to adapt. It's a powerful reminder of Young's resilience as an artist, adapting his performances while staying true to his roots.
