Review: Cincinnati

Neil Young: Rockin’ in a weird world

Written by Chris Varias,Enquirer contributor

… But those keyboards and light fixtures didn’t tell half of the tale. Duplicating the sounds on his recent album “Le Noise,” Neil Young put forth several noisy, fuzzed-out displays on electric and acoustic guitars, at times making for what could be the loudest solo performance ever in the field of folk-rock.

Dressed as if he were headed to the off-track-betting parlor, in what appeared to be (in my view from the back of the room) a tan fedora, white sport coat and blue jeans, Young, 65, did nothing to indicate he’s still not our oddest and most relevant old-guy rock ‘n’ roller.

The show had its share of undisputed classic-rock landmarks alongside about a half-dozen “Le Noise” cuts. The old stuff ran from pretty and dreamy like the pump organ-fueled ballad “After the Gold Rush” to lonesome and mean like the endless jam “Down by the River,” which had the near-sellout crowd helping Neil sing the line, loudly: “I shot my baby.”

The songs just happened. First thing in the morning, I\'d pick up a guitar, play two or three chords and go, \"That\'s the blueprint. That\'s what my soul told me, so that\'s what it is.\"
Then I\'d go to the studio. I would write the words, without guitar, in my car. I\'d keep stopping on the way -- write two verses, go a hundred yards, stop, write some more. I kept moving, and writing, until I got to the studio.
Whatever I had then, that was the song. \"Devil\'s Sidewalk\" -- the recording is the first time I sang it, the first time the band had ever heard it.
