Stacking in the laminated core.
Played at the Vector Arena here in Auckland NZ last night. 9000 people in attendance.
Of course he and the band (Crazy Horse) are all my generation and he's done his New Zealand homework.
In those days, when you went to the movies, before the show they always played the national anthem and we were expected to stand up.
The monochrome TV wasn't on all day then, and meanwhile during the day they'd transmit a test pattern with cicles in the corners etc, so you could adjust the magnets on the neck of the tube to get the linearity right (if you were lucky!).
So they opened the show with the New Zealand National Anthem (nobody stood up!) Other than the huge mosh pit crowd already standing of course.
High above the stage out near the corners of the auditorium each side were a pair of huge speaker arrays disguised as enormous portable 1950s TVs, cream and grey with handle on top. Should have had the rabbit ears.. CRT shape with B&W test pattern as above!
Show projected on those, so you could see them as on an old CRT TV! In colour though of course.
None of that would have been lost on at least us older bods, but a vast number there would never even have been born then. Brilliant. The band certainly powered out of those old "boxes"!
A privalege to be at another one of his shows here.
Sounds like a great gig, glad you had a great time! :)
Shows like that are like being at an outdoor concert. People dancing behind the mixing shed.
We were first seats up just hehind that looking over the top of it, and the vast throng on the flat. Basket ball etc is often played here.
Perfect spot because of course that's where it's mixed from!
Of course Niel and the band, as consistantly brilliant as ever, played heaps of well known and also more obscure works.
The crowd certaily tested the joint pounding. My seat was jumping!
Especially when we all were trying to get him to reappear.
Excellent stuff Jack, I've got a ticket to see them when they get here to the UK later in the year. I haven't seen Neil Young since 2005 and never with the Horse so I'm more excited about this than I have been about any upcoming gig for years.
Great stuff! I'm looking forward to your assesment!
Supplies of remaining odds and ends finally clicking into place. Expect product soon.
