Neil Young at The Riverside Theater
Neil Young fortified his status as one of the finest singer-songwriters in rock history a long time ago, so he gets a pass for some of the clumsily written numbers he’s been road-testing on his current solo tour. Whether forgettable songs like “You Never Call” and “Love And War” end up as part of his forthcoming album produced by Daniel Lanois remains to be seen, but fans of Young’s prime-era ’70s material will be glad to know that the 64-year-old still sounds great on classic cuts like “Helpless” and “Down By The River,” moving freely between acoustic and electric guitar, and piano. If you ask really nicely, he might even play “Heart Of Gold.”
