Just returned from Shoreline (live nearby and rode my bike to the Amphetheatre).
The set was short but well received by the audience. They were the only band that got everyone to stand up at the very beginning. Masters of War was rocking and got the crowd fired up. Gone and Around the Bend are great songs, but chilled the crowd. Before Thin Air, Eddie gave props to Maricor (sp) and the audience gave her an extended and touching amount of applause. Eddie mentioned that Maricor was so unselfish that she wanted the song dedicated to her friends instead of her. Lukin was dedicated to Allen. Mike was shredding his guitar on the Black solo, but the director didn't cut to Mike until it was almost over. Grrr. Neil comes on before Throw Your Hatred Down, and comments on how Black was "awesome". Glad they played that song both nights, because I really wanted to hear it. Gotta say, having four guitars play the same melody at once added a pee in the pants feeling to the mix. As the song came to the end, Neil was having too much fun, he circled his hand, the band sorta gave a "huh?" and they extended the song one more chorus. Very cool. But short. Think Brian Wilson ate into their time!

Throw your Hatred Down avec Neil Young
Just back from Bridge School show
Wow, tonight was just amazing. PJ and Neil were pretty emotional in their performances tonight, and PJ was really ten times better than last night.
The most amazing acoustic version of BLACK w/ "we belong" version. Really sweet ending with Eddie in high pitch.
Opened with Masters of War and again played with Neil tonight on Throw your Hatred. Neil was really into it tonight, a great jam. Also better man, and can't remember. Very end of show was RITFW with everyone, Eddie singing a verse and the crowd loved him. I'll let someone else fill in the rest of the set list. Way better than last night.
Foo Fighters rocked again tonight, but this night PJ clearly owned the stage with Neil.
I have always kind of liked DMB, but somehow he just does not thrill me live. But he had a good set and played one of Neil's most popular tunes with Neil.
Brian Wilson played a shorter set tonight.
Neil was emotional, and played all his hits and couple rare ones.
Groovy crowd, a little less crowded than last night.
It was a long, long day, started late around 2:30 with lots of speechifying. Two songs by neil, then opening folk? act I forget but they were nice and gritty and rocking, then a christian folk band? Dunno I was so pre-baked for the long haul those two first acts where a blur, fun folksy, but a blur. (Stumbling from seats down low to find friends on the grass -- lawn had a good vibe going, lots of kids! Lots of Sun!)
Then Death Cab for Cutie came out and I liked them/him - nice set, laid back but nice. Stumbled back down to my seats for that! But he didn't play my favs....
Trent pretty much stole the show -- he came on as the sun was setting, just ripped open a vein and bled for us. And yes "Hurt" with the string quartet was just phenomenal. Foo was good in acoustic format -- Dave had the whole muppet spaz thang going sitting just wailin on his guitar. Heros and Evermore were great. Solid.
Brian Wilson was an acapella tour-de-force -- little overpowering, I think JT's band pulls that off way better. Some recent stuff then through the classics -- I think Help Me Rhonda and Get Around got the best overall crowd response (to that point -- older crowd, Trent was lost on them). (Forget what Neil jammed with them on but it was doo-wop fun!) Surfin USA, what fun! So crowd was up and dancing by that point. (Yeah I noticed he looked kinda sour at one point....)
Pearl Jam comes out with MoW and that kinda stunned folks, powerful. Chorus of Gone brought 'em back, but then Around the Bend and Thin Air started getting the seats warmed up. Lots of PJ fans to each side but the middle was there for Dave I think. Folks stood up for Lukin and I think it got the eyebrows up, what fun! Dancin for Betterman crowd into it. But not a big crowd sing-along, Eddie didn't trust us to carry the end of Black, but seemed most folks knew it. Hatred was rockin.
Yeah that was neat, Neil came out after Black and was kinda like, "I'm supposed to follow that!??!!?" Think he just kinda muttered, "Awesome" or something... Dave Grohl had mentioned how intimidating it can be to play a bridge, lay down the smack and then walk off stage and there's say Neil and Dylan to pat you on the back... "Good Job, Kid!"
Was clear most folks where there for DMB, think he started with Crash? I dunno he played a bunch of identifiable hits, whole crowd jivin' -- all his jams lasted about 8-10 minutes it seemed. Didn't bring a jacket so his number with Neil was goin on forever and we where freezing so we jet at that point (like 10:30). He definitely rocked though.
Yeah, I think Trent delivered the most out-there Interesting performance, Foo and PJ where solid but not quite the intensity of Trent (Hurt > Black > Evermore). Wilson was a bit over-produced, DCC was nice, would like to see him do a long show after that. And again, DMB was just rockin, probably the 2nd best showman of the night next to Trent.
