There's a little man growing out of Neil Young's back!
We have to admit, some of us are huge Neil Young fans here at Scanner. (The former Scanner Bryan, now of The Remote Island, may be an even bigger fan, since he's going to buy that 27,000-BluRay DVD box set of Neil Young outtakes, which even we aren't going in for.)
We sat through hours and hours of Farm Aid for one "Heart of Gold." We traveled and waited for hours in the cold to see Neil do very few fan favorites in the middle of nowhere on his last tour. And we're coming back for more... especially if the rumors of the concert lineup he's set to announce turn out to be true...
Opening acts that could headline their own stadium shows? We're so there...
Choose your poison: Neil Young & Band plus Death Cab For Cutie in Kansas City... or Neil Young & Band Of Axe-Wielding Rockers plus Wilco at Madison Square Garden... for $75. On the floor. General admission, baby...
