Neil Young

On July 15, 2023, Neil Young lit up the stage at the William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre in Berkeley, performing his iconic protest song "Ohio". This came during a time when Young had recently released the album "Toast" in July 2022, showcasing his reflective songwriting paired with stripped-down instrumentation. Interestingly, "Ohio" originally hit the airwaves in 1970, a response to the tragic Kent State shootings, highlighting Young's enduring commitment to social issues. Even in 2023, he's not just strumming away—he's making statements and connecting with a new generation while staying true to his roots. Playing his beloved 1961 Gretsch White Falcon, each note resonates with decades of musical evolution and activism, reminding fans of his relevance in today's political landscape. It's a powerful blend of nostalgia and urgency, a signature Young experience.
