Neil Young Tickets

Neil Young at the Fox

The show could only be better if the knuckle-heads in the audience would not have shouted out every five minutes.

Excellent show!! Neil was awesome and the venue was perfect!

Match your behavior to the mood.

Neil Young posted a criticism of the Detroit audience as being too boisterous and possibly drunk to allow him to give us the show he wanted. I think a message from the performer and the theater asking for considerate behavior before these quieter shows would be appreciated by many. Neil is a legend. He should have been given more respect than to yell at him when he was trying to effing talk to us. And while I know it would kill the decor, a video screen would be great for those in the back. You wouldn’t have to use it for the entire show.

Amazing!!

What a show!! Sat 3rd row which was incredible. Neil was awesome. Great set list filled with some of his greatest songs, some Buffalo Springfield and some deeper cuts. Loved every minute of it. The Fox Theater is spectacular!!! What a nice venue for a show. Just could of done without the dimwits in the crowd yelling out requests constantly. Any Neil fan would know that Neil does what Neil does. Yelling out while Neil is trying to give the back story to some of the greatest songs ever written is dumb, rude and just plain obnoxious. And you could tell he was annoyed by it. It wasn't the show or venue for that. Let the man speak. I didn't come there to hear you screaming out the few hit songs you know. I came to enjoy an intimate evening with Neil Young and sit back and take in his music and listen to what the man has to say.

Neil Young remains artistically alive and relevant

Thank God Neil wrote all those wonderful old songs but also that he continues to write and grow as an artist and observer of problems plaguing this country. Artists are often the first seer of the hypocrisy and doom surrounding us. If you don’t care for Neil’s politics, stay home because you can always find a jukebox playing Cinnamon Girl and not annoy Neil,or his audience who’s come to hear the master. He’s written some powerful music about our jeopardized environment and it’s good to hear his perspective and poetry. They should have removed the few loud mouths who made it impossible to hear his stories from back in the day. In an acoustic performance, there’s no way to overcome these fools. Crazy Horse could. The Fox Theatre was lovely and ornate. Beautifully maintained. What a treasure. And a perfect small setting for an artist and their audience.

Neil Young was awesome!

Even though there were some people yelling constantly and distracting Neil, he still sounded great and put on a good show!

Great performance, bathroom/beer runs annoying

The show was great, highly recommend seeing Neil Young. But the constant interruption from other concert goers making beer runs and going to the bathroom, was very annoying. Every time a song ended, 20 people or more would jump up, inconvenience their row-mates, and head back for either more beer, or to use the bathroom. This happened every time a song ended. Kind of wish they didn't serve beer there for this very reason. But the show was excellent.

Neil is amazing

Absolutely loved it. Neil is one of the most dynamic entertainers of our time. I never want to miss one of his shows. It doesn't matter if he is alone or with a band. He has written so many great songs, just wish he could play all night. He had 3 pianos, his pump organ, 5 guitars, a banjo, a ukulele and, of course, his harmonica. Not many can match his talents. Great composer, talented lyricist, incredible musician.

Neil Young was fantastic but...

Fox Theater did nothing to attempt to control a handful of people who disrupted the concert to the extent that Neil himself wrote about the experience after. These individuals could have been identified and warned or asked to leave. They affected Neil's ability to say all he wanted to say which in turn affected all of the fans who were there to perhaps fulfill a dream! And to appreciate this legend. NY wrote: Because the St. Louis and Chicago crowds were all real listeners, the type of crowd I have come to love with the NYA shows, (shows where all tickets were bought through NYA and there was no advertising), those three shows were free and easy and I had the unbridled ability to lose myself in any song when the moment came. In Detroit, we had something going against that. It was the fourth of July holiday and some folks were celebrating, already high when they arrived at the show. Because it was a holiday, I could see it coming. They were focused on their celebration, kind of like a festival. Any subtle solo performance of songs is very challenged under those conditions. Of course, If I had a band, I could just blast out the show and rock on. So I came away from Detroit a bit mentally bruised and battered, yet still happy that so many people enjoyed the performance that I had tried to give them, even though they were somewhat short changed by circumstance. The St. Louis and Chicago crowds were distinctly different from the commercial shows I have been doing for the past years. At those commercial public shows. I have come to expect that people are as interested in celebrating their connection to the music as they are in actually listening. These are the people who yell out titles as loud as they can, during, or in between songs, or while I am talking, trying to tell a story about the music and where it came from or what it meant to me at one time or another. On night’s like last night in Detroit, It seems that the yellers are not with me. They are interested in celebrating their love of the music in another way. There is nothing wrong with that for them. They are having the time of their lives out there. Unfortunately for the audience, everyone else misses out on what might have happened while I am distracted by those celebrating their favorite song titles, yelling them as loud as they can. I could slip deeply into a song if not distracted, but I am just relegated to the surface while fighting off distraction, and so is the rest of the audience. Likewise, I may have told a story that sets up the experience of listening to the song, if I was not interrupted while trying. In St. Louis and the two shows in Chicago, I had the time of my life! It was so great to be able to lose myself in the music, sharing my experience with the audience, telling the stories of the songs to set them up, both for me and for the audience.

Neil was amazing but the audience was rude

Seemed like Neil was in good form, ready to play a variety of tunes and tell some stories in an intimate setting, but too many in the audience thought they were going to a Crazy Horse show (or a Kiss concert at Cobo) and kept shouting out their requests (which Neil said he wouldn’t play) and shouting overtop his banter. Neil tried to compete but eventually seemed to give up. It wasn’t everyone in the crowd, as I heard others complaining about the jerks on the way out. Too bad also as he had this show live-streamed on his website - a choice I’m sure he regrets. I apologize to Neil on behalf of the fans here who just wanted to see a master at work and appreciate a legend up close.
