Rolling Stone – Oct 19, 2007
Total cost including fare hotel etc. It’s so great to see someone still play music on stage with so much inspiration and so un-contrived. The Theater is awsome and the people were all great. Anyway; He tore it up as usual and i got to hammered to remember the setlist but it was a great mix of material acoustic & electric… Neil stopped playing 30 seconds into From Hank to Hendrix because his guitar was out of tune. It was amazing to hear Ambulance Blues and Campaigner live. I too paid a high ticket price & ridiculous fees to Ticketbastard for my St. Louis show & face a 4+ hour drive home on a weeknight (doing the same for Dylan there tomorrow) But you know what? It is all worth it for one great song! Saw Neil’s “Greendale” tour stop in KC a few years bask.
