Neil Young with Booker T. & The MG's - Los Angeles Sports Arena, Los Angeles, California, September 11, 1993
A seriously historic occasion! For me, anyway. This show, just about 30 years ago, was the the first time I saw Neil Young. The term "life-changing" is thrown around a lot, but I think it fits here. Something about Neil's performance here sent me down the path I'm still on today, searching for sounds that made me feel the way I did that night.
What was it, exactly, that had such an impact on 14-year-old me? Hard to say three decades later, but I think it had something to do with the overall sonic experience of the concert. Neil's guitar was so enormous and enveloping, ricocheting around the arena — almost more of a physical presence than just a sound, especially on those long abstract outros he'd lead the MG's through, shooting wild, unnameable things directly into my veins. That's right, Neil Young got me into pure noise. The Feedback & The Damage Done!
You might not believe it, but until recently, I hadn't listened to the tape of the show! I guess I wanted to preserve the memory. But it's been long enough, goddamnit! So here it is, in all its AUD glory. A pretty solid recording, actually, nicely capturing the cavernous acoustics of the venue (which was the now-demolished home of the LA Clippers, don't ya know).
What strikes me most about the set all these years later is the downright radical interplay between Neil and legendary drummer Jim Keltner. The show came towards the end of this particular tour, and Keltner at this point seems intent on kicking his leader's ass a little bit, throwing in daring fills that send the songs momentarily spiraling into chaos. Neil delights in these out-of-time curveballs, responding with ever-wilder solos. Amazingly, I think Keltner comes in with the beat reversed on "Down By The River" but the dude is such a pro that he makes even that sound cool.
And speaking of "Down By The River" ... it was this one that was ringing in my ears for months to come following the concert. It felt almost impossibly massive, a lumbering behemoth, sinister and ecstatic all at once. Perfect. But the high points weren't all electric; indeed, Neil's hushed rendition of "On The Way Home" (the only time he'd play it in 1993) is a wondrous prayer, somehow bringing an arena full of people to a standstill. I held my breath with my eyes closed ...
