NEIL YOUNG - TRUNK SHOW

This incredible film is taken from Neil Young's USA tour in 2007, filmed on the 9th & 10th December at the Tower Theatre, Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. I caught Neil four times in 2008 on the various visits to Europe and rate these shows as amongst the best I've seen.

The film doesn't stick with the original set lists and jumps around from acoustic to electric, interspersed with back stage footage. Once again the movie is wonderfully filmed by Jonathan Demme. It features an amazing track listing of some famous neil songs and some incredibly rare tracks, which were played for the first time in many years on this tour. Standouts being Kansas / Mexico and The Sultan. To my eternal shame I left the Manchester show in 2008 to drive back over the M62 and missed Neil's 3rd encores of Tonights The Night and The Sultan. Fortunately the later is captured on this film.

It's really sad to watch this film with the knowledge that Ben Keith has now passed away, a huge void in Neil's life. Though he really seemed to be enjoying these shows and some lovely backstage cameo's too.

I have no idea whether this will ever get an offical release, hopefully one day, though Neil may hold it back for the Archives way down the road.
