New York Benefit Gig

Written by bnbrainer on 24 September 2013

Longtime Elvis Presley impersonator StingRay probably never dreamed he’d open up a show for Neil Young and Jackson Browne, but that’s the position he found himself at the first annual Ocean Elders benefit dinner at New York’s City Winery on Monday night. The Ocean Elders are a collective of politicians, philanthropists, environmentalists and artists dedicated to protecting the world’s oceans from pollution, over-fishing and other ecological threats. That’s a big task

setlist was:

First Annual OceanElders Summit: A Call to Action
Solo
01. Blowin' In The Wind
02. Changes

Neil Young - acoustic guitar, harmonica, vocals

“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.”
