from the now legendary Paléo-Festival in Nyon again (23 July 2013, Switzerland, Europe), here a graphic video, you can hear the sounds of the thunderstorm and it blows Neil’s last hair away (and at one point the hat as well):
“At the end of the song Neil started again from the beginning and it culminated into an extended, excessive sound and thunder that was so incredible” [Wolle live on HH.org]
Q&A: Crazy Horse Bassist Billy Talbot on Neil Young, New Solo Album
‘There’s a certain tactic to being in a rock & roll band’
By Andy Greene, July 23, 2013 12:25 PM ET
Talbot has spent the last year touring the world with Young and Crazy Horse, but he took some time off to chat with us about his long history with Neil Young, recording some of their most beloved works and his new solo LP On the Road to Spearfish.
Where are you calling from?
I’m in South Dakota. The prairie is all around me. Everywhere I look, it’s grass.
Sounds nice. Do you think you’re one of the few rock stars that live in South Dakota?
[Laughs] I don’t think of myself as a rock star, but I guess you could say that. I don’t know of any others that are hanging out around this way.
…
Let’s move on to “Cortez the Killer.“
I just recently listened to the recording for the first time in 20 years. I thought it was a really good recording. It’s one of our best and our most beloved songs to record. The moment that we start to play that song is always a great moment in the show. Lately, it’s been a little mystery to us, which is puzzling. It’s never been that before. After eight years of not playing it, the song is like, “You didn’t play me for eight years, and now you want me to be right there for you?” When we call it up, cosmically, it’s just not happening.
[note: “Cortez The Killer” has been played lately in at Locarno and also at some other shows during the European Alchemy Tour 2013][For setlists, always consult Sugar Mountain]
During the show of Neil Young and Crazy Horse, 23 July 2013 at Nyon Paleo Festival, West-Switzerland, again a thunderstorm broke loose with windgusts up to 70 km/h and pouring rain on stage, exactly during Neil’s set. Neil immediately let lower the pump organ from the ceiling. After playing extended versions of “Like A Hurricane” and “Rocking In The Free World“, the show had to be aborted…
Preliminary setlist:
1. Love and Only Love
2. Powderfinger
3. Psychedelic pill
4. Walk Like A Giant
5. Hole in the Sky
6. Heart of Gold
7. Blowin in the wind
8. Comes a Time
9. Singer without a song (w/o the girl and her suitcase)
– the sky opens up and a real thunderstorm comes up… 10. Like a hurricane 11. Rockin in the freeworld
then thr show was aborted due to management decision (too much water, Neil and The Horse could have gone for ever and the audience with them) . A legendary show. Epic.
“\"It\'s not really a memoir, at least not in the traditional sense. It\'s not chronological and it covers a lot of areas - from the past to the present day, so it\'s like a diary. But it is a memoir, and part of it\'s a projection and a fantasy. It\'s a hippie dream really (laughs). I really enjoy writing. My father was a writer, so I\'ve always known about authors and writing, and now it\'s my time to do it.\"” by --ny on Waging Heavy Peace
