after a long chairday, there's nothing like a good concert. tonight, neil young brought a li'l truth and beauty to the minnversity's stately northrup auditorium.

the first set was soft n' acoustic. love is a rose was a particularly sweet surprise, as it reminded me of esperanza. we've shouted this one out on the backyard deck for years, in a joyous dad-kid duet. after the intermission, the band plugged in and mr. young stomped around making beautiful dinosaur noises. as is his custom, he ran old black (pictured) through an overdriven li'l fender deluxe. cinnamon was good, everybody knows was great, and like a hurricane was, well, transcendant.
