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]
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.
“Crazy Horse did not like white men because they
encroached upon his beloved wide-open prairie. He
detested their developments that chased away the
buffalo his people depended on for food and clothing.
When the cold came roaring down the Plains, the
buffalo faced those raging winds with its head into the
white storm, as if it were cleaning itself from hardship
and discomfort.
Those were the same winds blowing
against Crazy Horse’s face as the footprints of white
men stamped more and more across the land.” by -- Neil Young, 2012, Americana
