Review: Take One – Baltimore, Neil Young at the Hippodrome Theater April 27

April 28, 2011
Neil Young at the Hippodrome Theater April 27
from Midnight Sun alum Sam Sessa:

…

Many audience members were expecting a hit parade or an all-request hour, shouting suggestions at Young, who brushed them off. While he did play a handful of his signature pieces, such as “Ohio,” “Helpless” and an excellent “Cortez the Killer,” much of Young’s set was music from his latest album, “Le Noise” and other newer songs.

Young’s dimly lit set, with its wooden Indian and hodgepodge of instruments, recalled a rustic saloon. Spotlights cast four rectangular panels on the dark curtain behind him, giving the impression of a church’s stained glass windows at twilight.

When Young emerged, wearing jeans, a black T-shirt, white jacket and light tan fedora, the crowd greeted him with a standing ovation. Wasting no time, he fired right into a trio of hits: “My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue),” the poignant “Tell Me Why” and a subtle, elegant version of “Helpless.”

Take Two: Neil Young at the Hippodrome Theater April 27
Nick Madigan, who first saw Young in concert in the 70s writes:

Neil Young is determined to prove he can do it alone.

Calmly strolling the stage of Baltimore’s Hippodrome as though it were his living room, taking his time to decide what to play next from his vast repertoire and an array of guitars and pianos — even a pump organ [1] — Young seemed on Wednesday night to be living his performer’s ideal, a musician unencumbered by other musicians, true only to his muse and the vagaries of spontaneous choice.

At 65 years old, and with a five-decade career still going strong, Young long ago earned the right to do whatever he likes. Sometimes, the results are uneven, even startlingly so.

…

“Where’s the Horse?” someone in the Hippodrome crowd shouted out. Young ignored him, just as he did all those who begged for specific pearls from his inventory…
