While Neil Young didn’t sit-in with Wilco or vice-versa on Saturday night in Halifax the tour still seems to have gotten off to a terrific start. Wilco played for 50 minutes during which time vocalist/guitarist Jeff Tweedy forgot the words to California Stars telling the crowd “I’m just so excited to be here, I forgot the words,” adding “I got ’em the second time around though.”
Meanwhile, Neil Young stocked his headlining set full of his hardest hitting greatest hits including Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Cortez The Killer and Cinnamon Girl. The tour continues tonight in Montreal.

I have GA pit tickets and will be visiting the vintage clothing shop down the street to pick up the proper attire. I have been looking forward to this show for the last 6 months and can not wait!
