I am interested in knowing what material these artists are covering in there most recent tours. I have seen both before and am considering seeing them again. However, I don't want to see anymore of "Neil and the Shocking Pinks" and I am wondering why his concert is billed as "Neil Young - The International Harvester Tour" or something like that. Also, I read an article last year about Elton and he said that he would not be doing his "standards" anymore (Funeral for a Friend, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) because he simply has too much material and would like to try something new. Has anyone seen these concerts? or even heard about them? Thanks in advance, Carole Brooks ihuxl!brooks

I didn't see the concert, but Neil Young was in town this weekend, and a
very descriptive review confirmed that he has in fact gone country.
He and his new country band performed mainly songs from a new album that
has apparently been recorded but has not yet been released because of
legal problems. They also added a country slant to all of the old songs
they did, and the reviewer thought that this worked very well. In fact,
he enjoyed the concert immensely and said that of all the different styles
of music that Young has dabbled in over the last few years, country is the
one that he does best.
