Kudos.<br /><br />The RNS your with NY & CH was my first live Neil experience, at the now long-gone Richfield Coliseum, Ohio, in September of 1978. Much like the dark hero of "Powderfinger," I had just turned 22, and I had never seen anything like the throng who showed up to hear and cheer on who was to me an enigma and a man of mystery. Like you observed, the amount of smoke and fluid flowing to charge the crowd was enormous, but miniscule compared to the volume , quality, and quantity of that night's performance. And like you, if I had a musical moment in time to revisit, that show would be the one. Utterly amazing. <br /><br />Although I was a fan long before seeing RNS that night, the experience cemented Neil and his music in me forever. I saw him countless times through the years on various tours, eventually meeting him in Akron in 1999, and travelling widely in years following to see him all over the US. I'll catch him again in October '12 in Cleveland.<br /><br />Thanks for your observations. Well written, entertaining, and nice inclusion of images.itmoffnoreply@blogger.com
