“I thought he’d do a lot more acoustic stuff.”

Bimbadgen-Estate-Pokolbin-NSW-Australia According to some reviews from the current Australia shows by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, people have mixed feelings about the music, the loud and raunchy Crazy Horse guitar storm.

“Forget the six string sing-alongs that is musical bliss”

“Maybe things haven’t gone so well on the first two shows on the tour.
Whether the majority of the audience enjoyed proceedings was another thing entirely. A lot left early. Many seemed to be expecting something else.
Like the guy behind me who left before the final encores who told his friend:
“I thought he’d do a lot more acoustic stuff.”
Pretty sure Neil would get a kick out of that.”

I mean, what do they expect? Don’t they have Internets Down Under? Setlist-spoiler unwithspoken, if you are a Neil fan and go to a Neil Young and Crazy Horse show, you should know that it won’t be an acoustic sing-along of old “hits”, and you would not have missed the latest album “Psychedelic Pill” or the video clips of the last American “Alchemy” tour.

They even played a new song: Hole In The Sky. That’s nevertheless rather an acoustic one…

Thrasher also has a nice discussion about this phenomenon:

I\\\'m really turned on by the new music I\\\'m making now, back with Crazy Horse. Today, even as I\\\'m talking, the songs are running through my head. I\\\'m excited. I think everything I\\\'ve done is valid or else I wouldn\\\'t have released it, but I do realize the last three albums have been a certain way. I know I\\\'ve gotten a lot of bad publicity for them. Somehow I feel like I\\\'ve surfaced out of some kind of murk. And the proof will be in my next album.
