Post Description

Give ’em hell Neil!" someone shouted from the audience as Neil Young took a seat amid his lovingly assembled collection of not-so-gently used guitars — each with their own story — surrounding him like so many old friends at a campfire.
And so he did.
Thursday’s sold-out show at the Centennial Concert Hall was the second date on Young’s week-long Honor the Treaties tour, which is raising money and awareness for Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFM)’s legal fight against oilsands expansion. Young has wracked up his share of support and criticism for the tour; at a press conference at the Concert Hall earlier in the day, he reiterated the tour’s message: Canada must honour its treaty commitments — "Canada signed a contract" — and we must prioritize the environment over the bottom line.
"In 30 years, we’re going to thank the First Nations if they’re able to stop this," he said, adding that Alberta is going to "look like the moon" if oilsands development continues. As for the criticism that he’s ill-informed on the subject, Young was the first to admit that he’s no authority on the effects of Alberta’s oil production, but pointed out that "your profession doesn’t limit your freedom of speech," adding "it’s OK if you want to dismiss me because I hit a power chord."
But there were only supporters in the house that night, and Young let the music speak for him in an intimate, solo-acoustic show that shone in its quietest, creakiest moments. With his face obscured by his now-iconic black hat, the Canadian icon reminded us just why he’s one of the best songwriters the world has known. He kicked it old school in a set that spent a lot of time revisiting his commercial peak of the 1970s, playing classic after classic.
