Neil Young and Crazy Horse played their first show in over eight years last night at The Pavilion in Albuquerque, New Mexico as they kicked off a week of gigs leading to Outside Lands on August 10. This version of Young’s longtime backing band features Frank Sampedro on guitars, keyboards and vocals; Billy Talbot on bass and vocals and Ralph Molina on drums and vocals. The group treated fans to a 13-song main set and two-song encore made up of Neil Young classics and new material. Among the seven debuts performed by the band, only one – Jesus’ Chariot – was from the recently released Americana LP. The rest may potentially be on the Crazy Horse album expected this fall.
