Neil Young and Crazy Horse Crank It Up in Cleveland – Concert Review

Dave Swanson — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:30:25 +0000

Neil Young is timeless, end of story. His age is irrelevant (he turns 67 next month), and the fact that he has not had a 'hit' record in years is of no issue whatsoever. Young, and his longtime band, the ever durable Crazy Horse, are the real deal ... always have been. And last night's performance at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio proved that.
