Neil Young Performs Vampire Blues Live at the Fabulous Forum, Los Angeles
In 2015, Neil Young was actively touring with his band, Promise of the Real (POTR), showcasing a powerful blend of classic and contemporary sounds. Just before the October 14 concert at the Fabulous Forum, he released the album 'The Monsanto Years,' which was a thought-provoking exploration of corporate influence on agriculture. This live recording of 'Vampire Blues' captures him in a raw and electrifying form, blending his trademark social commentary with deep, bluesy riffs. It’s fascinating to note that this period marked a vibrant chapter in his career, as he collaborated with young musicians from POTR, facilitating a unique cross-generational dialogue in music. Enthusiasts often say that seeing Neil live is not just a concert; it's an experience that resonates with both nostalgia and fresh innovation.
