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.

“No other band of their stature would take this risk”
~Andy Gill, The Independent
Neil Young & Crazy Horse pull “Red Sun” out of their repertoire of songs to wow a London crowd Monday night.
London’s The Independent writer Andy Gill writes in a concert review that: ‘Neil Young may be his own harshest critic. ‘At times tonight, frankly, we sucked,’ he says at the end of another marathon show with Crazy Horse, his on-off backing band for over four decades. ‘But with what we do, that’s always a possibility.'”
Sometimes, he aptly states, they go beyond the point of no return.
“On ‘Walk Like A Giant’, a song about counter-culture values that closes his last album Psychedelic Pill, the almost subterranean fuzz distortion Young wrings from his Les Paul is the musical equivalent of tectonic plates shifting.”
“It\'s a wonder tall trees ain\'t layin\' down. ” by -- Neil Young
