Neil Young played Avery Fisher Hall, does again tonight (night 1 setlist)

“Guitar hero, acoustic balladeer, country bumpkin, grunge pioneer, electronic dabbler: Neil Young has played all these roles in his 45 year career. But at Avery Fisher Hall Sunday night – for the first of two sold-out shows – he melded two into something winningly rare.

Appearing alone, as he periodically does, Young roamed between acoustic and electric guitars, as well as piano, pipe organ, and harmonica.

Some songs that Young might commonly have rendered as full-on band rave-ups with Crazy Horse, like “Ohio” or “Cortez The Killer,” he delivered with just a lone, purposely distorted electric guitar.” [Daily News]

Bert Jansch opened the show and he does again tonight (4/25). Last night’s setlist below…
